VAT Rate

Ferry VN applies the current 8% VAT rate according to Decree 174/2025/ND-CP, effective July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026. Your invoice clearly separates the base amount, 8% VAT, and total payment.

Payment Method

Ferry VN JSC does not accept direct cash payments. All invoices show payment method as Bank Transfer. When you provide cash at Ferry VN’s office, staff will transfer from their personal account to Ferry VN JSC’s bank account.

Critical Note for Business & Government Entities: Under VAT Law 2024 effective July 1, 2025, businesses must use non-cash payment for transactions of 5 million VND or above to claim input VAT deduction:

Orders above 5 million VND from non-individual buyers require bank transfer from your company account or state treasury for valid tax deduction
Cash payment for orders above 5 million VND results in invalid invoices for tax deduction purposes

VAT Deduction Eligibility

Ferry VN’s VAT invoices are valid for tax deduction only within Vietnam territory. Your invoice supports VAT input deduction exclusively for businesses and government entities registered and operating under Vietnamese tax regulations.

Who Can Claim VAT Deduction

Vietnamese registered businesses with valid tax codes
Government entities and budget-related organizations in Vietnam
Foreign companies with permanent establishments (PE) registered in Vietnam
Foreign contractors meeting Vietnam tax residency requirements

Who Cannot Claim VAT Deduction

Your Ferry VN invoice does not qualify for VAT deduction if you are:

Overseas businesses without Vietnam tax registration
Foreign companies without permanent establishments in Vietnam
International tourists or individual travelers
Foreign entities operating outside Vietnam territory

For International Business Travelers

If you’re an international business traveler booking fast ferry tickets for your Vietnam trip, Ferry VN still issues proper VAT invoices for your records. However, these invoices serve as expense documentation only and cannot be used for VAT input deduction in your home country or outside Vietnam’s tax jurisdiction.

Your company may still use Ferry VN invoices for general expense reimbursement or accounting purposes according to your organization’s internal policies.

Separate Invoices Per Journey

Ferry VN issues separate invoices for each fast ferry journey. Your round-trip booking receives 2 individual invoices. This ensures:

You can book multiple operators in one order (e.g., Superdong outbound, Phu Quoc Express return)
Single-journey cancellations or changes don’t affect your other leg
Invoices are sent to the email you provide during booking

Invoice Adjustments

When Adjustments Apply

Ferry VN adjusts invoices in these situations:

Ferry operator cancels or reschedules departure
You cancel or reschedule according to operator policy
Ferry VN JSC initiates cancellation or schedule change due to technical reasons

Invoices cannot be adjusted to change from one tax code to another. Business or government entity invoices are only adjusted when errors or missing information exist on the original invoice.

Adjustment Method

Ferry VN issues replacement invoices with updated values per Decree 70/2025/ND-CP:

Your cancellation: Replacement invoice shows “Cancellation fee fast ferry…” with percentage of original ticket value. See Refund, Exchange, and Name Change Policy for fee details. Example: Invoice 00000647 replaces invoice 00000606, showing cancellation fee for 2 adults totaling 210,000 VND
Operator cancellation: Replacement invoice shows 0 VND value with 100% refund. Example: Invoice 00000702 replaces invoice 00000330 with total payment 0 VND

Adjustment Agreement

Decree 70/2025/ND-CP effective June 1, 2025 requires official agreement documentation before issuing adjusted invoices. Ferry VN maintains complete records including original invoice, adjustment agreement, and replacement invoice as required.
