Notes:

  1. Not in force yet
  2. Interest derived by certain government bodies is exempt from withholding tax.

In most cases, the limits set by the DTA are higher than the present withholding rates under domestic law; therefore, the domestic rates will apply.

Should you have any questions regarding the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements, please do not hesitate to reach out to TPM through our website or contact us directly via our hotline at (+84) 28 3505 1800 for prompt assistance.
