Abstract

Taxes are the most important revenue source for the state budget. Income from individual income tax as a percentage of total tax revenue is increasing according to the development process of each country. The purpose of the article is to analyze the relationship between GDP per capita and individual income tax revenue in Vietnam. Empirical method is employed on secondary time series data set during the period 1999-2018. Econometric tools are employed to present and analyze the collected data from concerned bodies. The result shows that the GDP per capita has a positive effect on individual income tax revenue at 1% significant level. Moreover, the article also finds that tax revenues during the period of the individual income tax law are higher than the period of the income tax ordinance for high-income earners.
