Facebook announces to collect additional 5 percent advertising fee to pay taxes in Vietnam In its announcement, the company said that from June 1, Facebook ads in Vietnam will be subject to an additional 5 percent value-added tax (VAT). This will affect advertisers who set Vietnam as the target country for business or personal addresses. According to Facebook, VAT will be collected in two ways. With the automatic payment option, a 5 percent tax will be charged before the ad goes live. As a result, users will have to pay extra for an advertising plan on the platform. If an advertiser chooses to pay manually, VAT is calculated based on the actual rate, depending on the balance in the ad account. An additional 5 percent tax will be applied to all of the platform's ads, targeting customers in Vietnam and requiring advertising partners to add a tax code to the payment settings, Facebook said.

Nguyen The Dung, 41, who lives in Kon Tum Province, said Tuesday that he found his son days after his ex-wife Phuong showed him their son's death certificate. "He's still healthy, just a little shy. In the near future, I will request the court to change our custody arrangements," he said. Dung married Phuong in 2018. Their son was only a couple months old when they got divorced. Phuong got custody of their son. In 2019, Phuong said she couldn't "raise him", so Dung brought his son back with him. Late April this year, Dung brought his son to Dak Lak for some treatment and asked his maternal grandmother (Phuong's mother), who lives nearby, to take care of the boy for a few months so he could return to Kon Tum for work. However, earlier this month, when Dung tried to video call his ex-wife to see his son but failed, he went to see him in person. Upon meeting him, Phuong gave him their son's death certificate, issued by local authorities, and told him the boy was dead. Dung … [Read more...] about Mother gets death certificate for living toddler
