EVFTA regulations affect to textile industry

The process of tax reduction gradually to 0% in the next 5-7 years for industries exported from Vietnam to the EU, although effective from August 1, 2020. But it is not until August 2021 that textile enterprises start enjoying tax incentives from EVFTA.

The reason affects the textile industry

  • Lack of raw materials: Now, the main source of supplies for Vietnam's garment and textile is still from China and Korea.
  • For textile products made from imported materials, we are still taxed as usual.
  • Import ratio of about 6-70% of raw materials production materials.
  • Within the first 2 years from the effective date of EVFTA, businesses will be subject to a reduced tax under EVFTA or GSP. However, for the third year onwards, still cannot meet EVFTA's requirements of origin of goods; then the tax payable is from 12% - according to the MFN.
  • Thus, if Vietnam is not fast in the process of changing raw material supplies, efforts in the textile and garment industry may be in vain.

In addition, the tax exemption compared to the cost of raw materials for Chinese firms is not too attractive. The supply is large, available, the delivery time is fast, the cost is 10-40% cheaper than the cost of domestic raw materials.

Therefore, many businesses accept tax rates such as higher than EVFTA and continue to import raw materials from China.

Measures to promote the textile industry

The strength of self-sufficient raw materials will bring more benefits to businesses. Only using raw materials from China will have many difficulties when partners arise when supply supply problems.

Covid in 2021, many foreign enterprises producing in China had to look for suppliers in other countries. Avoid passive supply during production.

Therefore, to achieve optimal tariff performance, be more proactive in sourcing goods. Enterprises should focus on diversifying domestic sources.

Since the Covid19 epidemic up to now, large enterprises have been eager to find other production sites. Because "the world's factory" - China - has problems.
