Under Decree 252/2026, non-agricultural land tax payers must pay once a year, by 31/10 at the latest; because 31/10 falls on a Saturday in 2026, the deadline moves to 2/11. Many homeowners, including those in townhouses and apartments, are unaware of the obligation, while some who have already paid still receive notices of unpaid or outstanding tax. The General Department of Taxation attributes this possibly to data that has not been updated or duplicate notices, and has ordered local tax offices to review data and handle complaints. Lawyer Hoàng Hà advises residents to check their obligations via eTax Mobile and keep contracts, land ownership certificates and payment receipts to request a review if needed. Deputy Finance Minister Nguyễn Đức Chi said responsibility for updating housing, land and tax data lies with state management agencies.

- Professor Dang Hung Vo: Taxing idle real estate at 1-5% a year would be enough to deter
The government has proposed a 0.2% tax rate on idle or slow-to-develop land and property, with no quota applied. Professor Dang Hung Vo, former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, argues that 0.2% is too low to deter and says rates of 1%, 2%, 3% or 5% a year are needed. He calls for clear criteria to define idle property, linked data to identify each owner's holdings, and possibly a separate property tax law. He says idle property will eventually be taxed, in 5, 7 or 10 years, given the direction set in Resolution 18 of 2022 and Resolution 21. He also urges a shift away from treating property as a place to store money, so that capital moves into production and business services.
- A week of 35 draft laws and an “unprecedented” pace in institutional reform
Since the National Assembly session opened, the government has submitted 35 draft laws along with a report on implementing Resolution No. 206/2025/QH15, and about 60 laws were discussed over roughly one week. The government expects to submit 78 laws and resolutions for Assembly approval in 2026, focusing on tax exemptions and reductions, land resources, social housing and support for private enterprises. According to the report, the review abolished 56 conditional business sectors and lines of trade, cut 697 administrative procedures, and reduced compliance time by 53% and compliance costs by 55%, saving about VND 23 trillion per year. The draft amendment to the Law on Real Estate Business removes the registration procedure for apartment sales contracts, moving them to public disclosure on the Housing and Real Estate Market Information System.
- National Assembly deputy: Clear criteria and timing needed for 0.2% tax on abandoned land
Lạng Sơn Provincial Party Deputy Secretary Đoàn Thu Hà asked for clearer criteria for abandoned land and the timing of the 0.2% tax in the draft law amending three tax laws. The government proposed applying the tax to abandoned, slow-to-develop or unused land without a quota; most deputies supported it to curb hoarding and speculation, but many asked to exclude land left idle for objective reasons and to avoid double-charging with progressive penalties on delayed projects. Agribank Chairman Tô Huy Vũ said bank-held land awaiting disposal from bad-debt recovery could be hit without an exemption. Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng directed the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to review and clearly define abandoned land. The National Assembly will debate the bill on Nov 6; if passed on Nov 20, it takes effect in 2027.
- Proposed 0.2% tax on idle land and land left unused or slow to be put to use
On the morning of October 23, the National Assembly heard the government's proposal and the review report on draft amendments to several tax laws, including the Law on Non-Agricultural Land Use Tax. The government proposes a 0.2% tax rate, with no area limit, for idle land and land that is not or is slowly being put to use, to institutionalize Resolution 21-NQ/TW. The Economic and Financial Committee agrees in principle but says the proposal conflicts with the current law, which applies 0.15% to unused land, and with the draft amended Land Law. It warns of possible double financial obligations for investment projects that leave land unused or slow to use it, and asks the drafting agency to clarify the basis, timeline and relationship with land use fees and land rental payments.
- Government Proposes 0.2% Tax on Idle Land
The government proposes a 0.2% tax on idle land, meaning land not put to use or delayed in use, with no quota applied. On 23/10, Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn submitted to the National Assembly a draft law amending three tax laws: corporate income tax, non-agricultural land use tax, and personal income tax. The drafters say the move aims to institutionalize Resolution 21 of the Central Committee and reduce idle land. The draft Land Law would reclaim agricultural land left idle for more than 24 consecutive months, while delayed project land would incur annual surcharges that rise each year and be reclaimed after 60 months without exploitation. The National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee said the file lacks an assessment of budget revenue impact, does not exclude force majeure or phased projects, and needs alignment with the Land Law. If passed on 20/11, the law would take effect in 2027.
- Government proposes adjusting land price tables once every three years
The Government proposes amending the Land Law so that land price tables and the price adjustment coefficient (K), set by provincial People's Councils, are revised once every three years instead of annually. The draft removes specific land price rules and price advisory bodies, with the State setting prices under principles of honesty, objectivity, openness and transparency. Land price tables and K coefficients would be applied uniformly for budget land revenue, auction starting prices, compensation for land recovery, and related taxes and fees. The draft also allows recovery of abandoned land, such as agricultural land left unused for more than 24 months after an administrative penalty, or project land unused for over 60 months. The draft has 3 chapters and 112 articles, 148 fewer than the current law, and is scheduled for a National Assembly vote on 21 November.

- Nvidia stock valuation gets torched by tech stock rout
Nvidia (NVDA) shares trade at a forward P/E of just 12.9 times according to Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data, versus 18.7 times for the S&P 500, with a PEG ratio of 0.27. The article attributes the selloff to shrinking free cash flow at Alphabet, Meta and Amazon as capex rises sharply, and to concern that hyperscalers may cut capex in 2027, which could mean fewer AI chip orders for Nvidia. On Friday, more than $1 trillion in market value was wiped out and Nvidia finished down 4.22%. Miller Tabak chief markets strategist Matt Maley said “the AI narrative is cracking as profitability concerns intensify.”

Costco (COST) and Walmart (WMT) trade at forward P/E ratios of 44 and 41 times, above those of hyperscalers Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META) and Oracle (ORCL). An S&P Global Market Intelligence analysis puts the hyperscalers' average revenue growth at 21% with an average forward P/E of 20.7 times, suggesting the market is paying more for slower-growing companies. The article attributes this to shrinking free cash flow at Big Tech leaders as capex rises sharply, and to concern that hyperscalers may cut capex in 2027. More than $1 trillion in market value was wiped out on Friday. Yorkville Ives partner Dan Ives said it is not the time to panic, citing stronger validation of enterprise AI buildouts, while noting that tech companies raising funds through bonds and equity offerings add pressure.
- FBI Blames North Korea for $6B Binance Hack as Exchange Reopens Withdrawals
The FBI said North Korea's TraderTraitor was behind the theft of more than $6 billion from Binance and published hundreds of linked addresses. Binance began restoring withdrawals on Sunday, processing $4.649 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits in the first nine and a half hours, a net outflow of about $3.64 billion, or 2.1% of the $171 billion in assets reported in its latest proof of reserves. The FBI said the hackers mainly converted stolen assets into Ethereum and were expected to launder funds through DeFi and instant swap services, urging businesses to block transactions tied to hundreds of Ethereum addresses, 19 Bitcoin addresses and one Solana address. Chainalysis said more than $500 million had moved through Tron, while CEO Richard Teng said Binance had replenished about 95% of affected assets and would absorb the financial impact. According to Reuters, Circle has frozen more than $1.1 billion in USDC.
