Prevention of Tax Treaty Abuse – Third Peer Review Report on Treaty Shopping

Viet Nam

A. Progress in the implementation of the minimum standard

Viet Nam has 76 tax agreements in force, as reported in its response to the Peer Review questionnaire.

None of Viet Nam’s agreements comply with the minimum standard or are subject to a complying instrument.

Viet Nam has not signed the MLI.

Viet Nam indicated in its response to the Peer Review questionnaire that it is currently working towards signing the MLI.

B. Implementation issues

As Viet Nam has not signed the MLI or implemented anti-treaty-shopping measures in its agreements, the Secretariat will offer its support to design a plan for the implementation of the minimum standard to strengthen its network of agreements.
