In the case where a company converts its business type from a single-member limited liability company (LLC) owned by an individual to a multi-member LLC, the retained earnings of the single-member LLC (i.e., the profit accumulated before the conversion) shall not be considered as taxable personal income from capital investment of the individual owner.
This is pursuant to Point 3c, Article 2 of Circular 111, as amended and supplemented by Point 6, Article 11 of Circular 92.
-
Anh A thành lập Công ty TNHH một thành viên ABC, do chính anh là chủ sở hữu.
Mr. A established a single-member limited liability company (ABC LLC), where he is the sole owner. -
Sau vài năm, công ty có lợi nhuận tích lũy 500 triệu đồng chưa chia.
After several years, the company has accumulated VND 500 million in undistributed profits. -
Năm 2025, anh A mời thêm bạn là anh Z góp vốn, chuyển đổi công ty thành Công ty TNHH hai thành viên AB-YZ.
In 2025, Mr. A invites his friend Mr. Z to contribute capital and converts the company into a two-member limited liability company named AB-YZ LLC.
➡️ Khoản lợi nhuận 500 triệu đồng này KHÔNG bị coi là “thu nhập từ đầu tư vốn” của anh X, nên không bị tính thuế TNCN.
The VND 500 million in retained earnings shall NOT be considered “income from capital investment” of Mr. A, and therefore is not subject to personal income tax (PIT).
