Understanding these criteria not only helps businesses comply with Decree 132\/2020\/ND-CP accurately but also minimizes the risk of being taxed, collected and fined. At the same time, this is also an important foundation to improve transparency in financial management and control long-term tax risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nhom_3_Kinh_te_va_tai_san_vo_hinh\"><\/span><b>Group 3: Economics and Intangible Assets<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To clarify how to identify related-party transactions arising from economic dependence and intangible assets, enterprises need to master the criteria according to Decree 132\/2020\/ND-CP. In the process of declaring related-party transactions, correctly understanding the nature of this relationship is a prerequisite to ensure compliance and limit risks during tax inspection. The table below summarizes 3 typical cases, including identification criteria, detailed descriptions and illustrative examples, helping enterprises easily apply them to actual operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-color: #000000;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"12\">\n<caption><b>Board:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Groups of economic relations and intangible assets must declare related transactions.<\/span><\/caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Case<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Criteria<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Describe<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>For example<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depends on raw material source or output<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enterprises supplying more than 50% of input materials or more than 50% of output products to other enterprises.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transaction value is calculated based on the largest transaction value in the fiscal year.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company Z is the exclusive supplier of materials to Company Q, with sales accounting for 65% of Q&#039;s total raw material costs.

Correctly and fully understanding these criteria helps businesses declare related-party transactions accurately, meeting the requirements of Decree 132\/2020\/ND-CP, while minimizing the risk of being assessed, collected or penalized during tax inspections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nhom_4_Cac_quan_he_khac\"><\/span><b>Group 4: Other relationships<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to ownership, control and economic dependence relationships, Decree 132\/2020\/ND-CP also expands the scope of identification in the declaration of related-party transactions based on the \u201csubstance determines form\u201d factor. This allows tax authorities to assess specific relationships or agreements that do not meet capital ratio thresholds or specific legal conditions, but have a real impact on production and business activities and pricing mechanisms. This approach helps improve the effectiveness of anti-transfer pricing and ensures that declaration obligations are implemented in accordance with the market price principle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span
