- Individuals with undeclared crypto transactions exceeding 100 million VND
- Businesses engaged in crypto-related activities

Case Study: Successful Application
Mr. Nguyen (Hanoi) declared 2 BTC held since 2019. Using the amnesty program, he avoided late-payment penalties of approximately 40 million VND. His advice: “Maintain detailed records using platforms like hibs for smooth application.”
Strategic Considerations for Investors
Vietnam’s crypto adoption rate increased 27% year-over-year (2022-2023), making tax compliance increasingly important. The amnesty program provides a structured path toward regulatory alignment.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
| Error | Consequence | Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| Incomplete transaction history | Application rejection | Use hibs portfolio trackers |
| Underestimating tax liability | Future penalties | Consult hibs tax advisors |
