[@oriaxtv]

What a joke to say "small business can bribe tax officer" when you know zero things how the tax system works here. Don't say something you don't know. You maybe able bribe a traffic cop to get a quick warning for a small offense like driving on a wrong lane. But definitely not the tax thing. Also, people here have to pay "used water for recovery and treatment" based on cubic meters you used for the month. I think it is better to research well before saying something as a fact. Now is 2022 things are online and info is easy to obtain.

[@uptin]

@@oriaxtv Actually I never say things that is not heavily sourced. Go ahead and Google it, you will see yourself. Here's just one of many reports from a few months ago: www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/12/23/in-vietnam-feeding-the-police-just-a-cost-of-doing-business

[@meditationthien1662]

❤❤❤

[@oriaxtv]

@@uptin that article is about people who did illegal stuff by selling on the street pavement. The law does not permit them to use the public pavement for business. They pay the police (cops in charge of checking public order) so that the police do not check the area often. This kind of act is also illegal. Both sides are bad in this situation. But this is not the tax thing you said. In your video, you said: "Income tax is largely low because small businesses can bride tax officer to endorse it." This statement is wrong because no one can bride a tax officer to avoid tax. After an audit, if you owe the tax, they will get everything back even years later with a penalty based on the bank interest rate on top of the tax you owe.

[@oriaxtv]

@@uptin By the way, my comment reply is not for criticizing purposes. I just saw some wrong things you said and pointed out so that you know. I am glad you chose to visit the country. As you read below. There are some other people made corrections to what you said like exchange rate, salary, etc.

It's not just the low price either, we're talking about great tasting and fresh food too.

But if you want to be frugal and save, you can also eat great food, have scooter, nice clothes and low rent at decently appointed apartments.

[@IkeMann100]

To my knowledge small family businesses in Vietnam do not bribe tax officers. They just pay a monthly fixed tax based on their field of business and estimated turnover. No books are checked, no vat returns. This is the way the government is helping small businesses grow by allowing them to solely focus on their work without adding 1000 burdens.

[@eqmknguyen2251]

[@thethaovatoquoc312]

As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just as another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30-50K of them, due to grossly misdiagnoses and being thrown into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolation, so that they had to sleep on concrete floor, even next to filled trashcans, with inadequate toilet, food, water, or medicine, like animals (searching hard enough, one is able to see shocking video clips on Facebook though the regime tried hard to crack down the leaks by Vietnamese citizen journalists), with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech, (true) freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. There is no true freedom of religion in Commie Vietnam, as this corrupt Vietnamese Commie regime only authorized the fake organizations headed by Commie monks, many of whom were Commie Party officials, and those religious organizations not approved to be infiltrated by them or headed by their Commie agents are accused of malicious and nonexistent crimes and banned, with innocent religious leaders arrested and jailed, as in the recent case with Thiền Am Bên Bờ Vũ Trụ, a harmless Buddhist meditation monastery, for simply having many followers (hence, more influences that the regime fears it can't control) than the Commie Party's officially approved ones. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Korea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea is at 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Search "cuop dat dan" (meaning "land-robbing of citizens") to see millions of footages across the country from North to South, spanning for decades, dated back to Ho Chi Minh's bloody land reform 1953-1956 that killed nearly 1 million North Vietnamese in only 4 years, or 250K people brutally slaughtered in torturous painful deaths (like being shot, stabbed, mutilated while being alive, or heads being plowed over by water buffaloes while bodies being buried underground) each year on average to rob their lands and homes. Even today, if the rightful owners refuse to have their homes or lands robbed, the ruthless Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime simply jail or massacre them, have tractors run over their bodies or openly assassinate them in their own homes. When it comes to robbing, these barbarian Vietnamese Commie bandits even prey on each other, just as the recent case with then 84-year-old Mr. Lê Đình Kình, a 55-year-Commie Party veteran from Dong Tam, near Hanoi, that got shot dead at 3am in his own home by the Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime. When his wife Mrs. Dư Thị Thành refused to lie about the incident as ordered, the Vietnamese Commie terrorist police brutally tortured her (see more details from "dandongtam" on Facebook). The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.

[@darkshad0w191]

Vietnam is taking advantage of cheap prices to attract FDI, trading this to create long-term development for the country.

Vietnamese salary is about 350$/month, not 2$/month. Do your research carefully. Vietnam had a big inflation crisis in the end of 1980s until early 1990s because Soviet Union began to fall. That is one of the main reasons why Vietnam is still cheap till this day.

"you rarely see someone living in bad conditions or beggars" lmao, you don't travel enough. Here in HCM city, there's gangs using disabled people or poor children to make a massive underground beggars system, sort of. You can get to see those in action in District 4, 7, 10, Binh Thanh, Go Vap at night or dawn, usually at the entrance of dark alleys or near the bridges and roundabouts.

[@iuvnkyo]

It's called "rarely" and I agree

[@joeherrera8826]

I might visit then because of the food I love Pho Soup

[@Chr1s808]

It’s not as good as pho in America. I’ve been there. Trust me.

[@Bella_aN]

Sure, Vietnam is the best place to live and travel

[@chaolong4246]

Average people only earns about $6 a day, so how's that cheap, common. You said poverty is low in Vn and it's one of the fastest growing economy, huh. The fact is per person income, vietnamese earns ~ 2800$ per year, and what they earn in a day is not enough for 3 bow of pho noodle (3 meal a day agree).

When are you going to do a video on Kuala Lumpur 🎈

[@hanrich8780]

You can’t said cheat foods in Vietnam you had to look at labor costs

[@Dreamcatcher28805]

I've been living in Vietnam for about 7 years now. Ummmm minimum wage is not 2 dollars per month......that's ridiculously inaccurate man.... so someone working an entire month only has enough money to buy a bowl of Pho as one costs about 30-35k?? Hahaha also your figures for the middle class earnings are totally not accurate either. You are WAY over stating that. I can see your trying your best to make a well put together video otherwise so good job on the time you have invested into your video. Well done actually :)) On a side note, us expats living working here just can't wait to see all of the new *respectful* back packers flooding this county yay......(yes that is sarcasm)

Small hint: at initial - 1 vnd is the starting Note value! With communist great intelligent of printing money, these Note has reach 500000 vnd. Yes 1975 1vnd and now 2023 500000 vnd! Crazy losing value due to printing so much money, that is the reason why real estate is so expensive due to people by to protect their money.

What country can you retire on 10000 usd, anyone know?

[@haipvc1982]

Mọi thứ ở Việt Nam đều rẻ ngoại trừ ô tô, giá ô tô ở Việt Nam đắt gấp 3 lần ở Mỹ. Mong muốn của người dân Việt Nam là được mua xe ô tô bằng giá bán tại Mỹ

[@quymaitv7755]

Giá hàng hoá dịch vụ ơn viet nam rẻ ,vì luồng và thu nhập của dân họ thấp bị, 5 tr đ / thằng nên giá ko cao được.

Hiện tại thì rất nhiều người nước ngoài về Việt Nam du lịch

[@ilakaizen4926]

I dont think food in vietnam is cheap eventhou the currency is low...

[@Chr1s808]

Then you’re being scammed…

[@congregationGlobal]

Hey Uptin the currency numbers look large, is it just a technical thing using large unit numbers or is it due to high inflation? Safe travels

[@audrey-pd1oi]

Both. It was due to the hyperinflation of 1986, which resulted in the huge large unit numbers. However, now, the inflation rate is 3.2%, so the large unit numbers is mainly a technical thing.

[@congregationGlobal]

@@audrey-pd1oi delighted by your answer. Thanks! 🌞

Người dân Việt Nam quen tiêu tiền nhiều số 0 rồi, nhà nước có thể bớt số 0 trên đồng tiền nhưng chính phủ không cần làm vậy
