HANOI: The special consumption tax should be lifted for petrol and air conditioners since they are not luxury products, according to some National Assembly (NA) deputies.
Regarding the revision of the draft amended Law on Special Consumption Tax, Le Thi Nga, permanent deputy chair of the NA’s Committee for Judicial Affairs, said that the tax is intended for luxury goods and items discouraged for consumption. However, in Vietnam, petrol is an essential commodity.
