Household businesses with income (even if they have not made a profit) still have to pay taxes according to the standard.
  • Tax: Enterprises are a type of contractor tax, an indirect tax, so when an enterprise exports, VAT is a tax collected from customers and then paid back to the state, not a tax that non-trading enterprises owe. Note:
    When issuing production invoices, the company must have a corresponding input invoice;
  • Opening a business: Establishing a business is quite easy, the establishment cost is also quite low, but operating and managing a business requires many factors or when having to close the business, it also costs a lot of money and time. need to think carefully before establishing a business;
