The Quốc Dân Hiểu Thuế programme, broadcast on October 11, 2026, proposed raising the revenue threshold for exemption from related-party transaction filing from under VND 200 billion to under VND 500 billion, and clarified that transfer pricing is not the same as tax evasion. According to Tô Kim Phượng of the Tax Department, transfer pricing becomes improper only when related-party dealings do not follow market prices and reduce the tax payable. Bùi Ngọc Tuấn of Deloitte Vietnam noted that companies below the threshold must also have no intangible asset transactions within their group and meet net profit margins of 10% for manufacturing, 15% for processing and 5% for distribution. Exemption from filing documentation does not exempt companies from declaring related-party information under Appendix 1 of Decree 132. If documents are deemed unreasonable, tax authorities may set the profit margin and collect additional tax plus a 20% penalty on the amount assessed.

- Made an ‘honest’ mistake with crypto taxes? New bill offers way out
A proposed US bill, Section 502 of the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act (H.R. 10357), would require the Treasury secretary to create a Digital Asset Voluntary Disclosure Program within 12 months of the law taking effect. Eligible taxpayers could correct past crypto tax errors by filing amended returns and paying the tax owed, plus interest and a program penalty. The House Ways and Means Committee approved the bill 38-5 on Sept. 16, but it still needs passage by the House and Senate and the president's signature. Taxpayers who certify their violations were neither fraudulent nor willful would pay 0% on the first $25,000 of deficiency per year and 5% above that if they file within the first 12 months, while non-certifying taxpayers would face 25% and 40%. The article notes the new 1099-DA reporting rules don't address earlier years and cites a 2026 CoinTracker and Coinbase report finding only 49% of US crypto users understood selling crypto is taxable.
- Latvia eyes crypto tax payments in 2027 as parliament overhauls crypto taxation
Latvia could allow residents to pay personal taxes in cryptocurrency as early as next year, according to Didzis Dejus, an adviser to the prime minister, with the Finance Ministry having agreed to the plan while technical work with a payment provider remains. On October 15, parliament passed a law taxing withdrawals from crypto investment accounts that exceed deposits rather than individual trades, along with a one-time declaration process. Holders can settle past obligations by paying 10% of their declared assets' market value at the end of 2026, with declarations filed from April 1 to May 31, 2027 and tax due by July 23. Dejus said this would help people who bought crypto years ago but lack records of what they paid. Timing may depend on the next government, as Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs' United List won the October 3 election but still needs coalition partners.
- Cant be repeated : revolt over card ban blackout
Business groups have demanded an explanation after being kept in the dark for months about a plan by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to stop accepting credit card payments for tax bills. Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino said the government learned of the plan in July, and the ATO decided in late September to proceed when the Reserve Bank’s ban on card surcharges took effect in October. After a backlash from small business, the government will cover card fees until the end of the financial year and has urged the ATO to keep negotiating a transition period with card companies. Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar said businesses were told only hours before the ban took effect, calling it a deficient policymaking process that “cannot be repeated.” Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson said small businesses should not learn about such decisions in the newspaper.
- Cant be repeated : revolt over card ban blackout
Business groups have demanded an explanation for why they were kept in the dark for months about the Australian Taxation Office's plan to ban credit card payments for tax bills. Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino said the government knew of the plan in July, the ATO decided in late September, and Labor stepped in to cover card fees until the end of the financial year after small business protests. Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar said the policymaking process “cannot be repeated,” while Industry Minister Tim Ayres rejected the criticism and said reversing the ban was unlikely. Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson argued that small businesses should not learn of such decisions in the newspaper.
- “Can’t Be Repeated”: Revolt Over Card Ban Blackout
Business groups are demanding an explanation for being kept in the dark for months about the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) plan to stop accepting credit card payments for tax bills. Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino said the government learned of the possibility in July, and the ATO decided in late September to proceed after stakeholder feedback showed the two-month transition period was not enough. After an outcry from small business, the government will cover card payment fees until the end of the financial year. Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar said businesses learned of the change just hours before the ban took effect, calling the process a deficient policymaking approach that “cannot be repeated.” Industry Minister Tim Ayres said the government is unlikely to permanently reverse the ban.
- Does buying gold with cash conflict with tax regulations?
A citizen asked on the Government Portal whether a decree allowing cash payments for gold purchases under 20 million VND conflicts with the tax rule requiring non-cash payment for purchases of 5 million VND or more. The Quảng Trị Provincial Tax Department No. 2 answered that Decree No. 232/2025/NĐ-CP requires gold transactions of 20 million VND or more per customer per day to be paid through bank accounts, which is a rule on payment methods in gold trading. The 5 million VND threshold in Decree No. 320/2025/NĐ-CP is a condition for expenses to be deductible when determining corporate income tax. The two rules have different purposes and scopes, so they do not conflict.

- Mt. Gox Pushes Repayment Deadline to 2027 With $2.8B in Bitcoin Still to Distribute
Mt. Gox's rehabilitation trustee, Nobuaki Kobayashi, has pushed the repayment deadline back one year to October 31, 2027, with a Tokyo court's approval, because many creditors have not completed the required procedures or ran into problems. It is the fourth one-year extension, and about 19,500 creditors had received funds by the October 2026 deadline. Arkham data shows wallets linked to Mt. Gox still hold about 34,388 BTC, worth roughly $2.8 billion, with no transfers since June apart from a move of 10,422.65 BTC, mostly to a new wallet. Observers now see the remaining coins as a smaller risk, with one analyst calling the repayments 'more of a recurring headline than a real source of downside pressure.'
- 3 Reasons to Own McDonald's Stock by Dec. 1 to Qualify for Its First Payout as a Dividend King
McDonald's (MCD) is set to join fewer than 60 U.S. public companies designated Dividend Kings, which have paid and raised dividends for at least 50 consecutive years. Its latest quarterly payout is $1.93 per share, up 4%, and at $7.72 per share the forward dividend yield is 3.2%; shareholders who own the stock by Dec. 1 will receive the $1.93 payment on Dec. 15.

Weak U.S. same-store sales (up 0.8% in Q2 2026) and an $8.5 billion, 10-year investment plan, which adds $5 billion in costs through 2030, are cited as key factors.
- Shopify vs. Target: Which Technology Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?

- PNJ Hits Ceiling Price as VN-Index Breaks Out of Red Zone
The VN-Index reversed to close 2.13 points (0.13%) higher at 1,691 points on October 20, ending a decline, though it did not regain the 1,700-point level lost in the previous session. PNJ hit its daily ceiling price of 19,750 dong per share ahead of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting expected on October 21. The company plans to propose revising its 2026 business plan to a post-tax loss of over 6,270 billion dong, due to provisions of over 7,000 billion dong related to a goods exchange policy, and to seek approval for a private placement of up to 550 million shares to professional investors. Steel stocks led gains, with SMC at its ceiling and NKG up 5.7%, while VHM fell 4.1% and foreign investors were net sellers of nearly 275 billion dong.
- Nvidia Reportedly Sees Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent Order $35B In RTX PRO 5500 Chips Amid US Export Curbs
Reuters reported that Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance and other Chinese firms have ordered over $70 billion worth of Nvidia's RTX PRO 5500 workstation graphics cards, with the three named companies accounting for more than 3 million units worth over $35 billion. Total orders from Chinese customers exceed 6 million units. Nvidia reportedly told partners it cannot guarantee fulfillment because demand exceeds planned production, and one source said it may deliver only 5% to 10% of the total order amount. The orders come as U.S. export controls bar sales of Nvidia's Blackwell-based B300 and limit H200 sales to case-by-case approval. Chinese companies reportedly want the less powerful RTX PRO 5500 mainly for AI inference, and NVDA stock edged 0.18% lower in pre-market trade.
