Accordingly, SMEs are allowed to pay their 2011 corporate tax within one year later against the deadline prescribed by the Law on Tax Management.
 
SMEs must meet certain norms of capital volume or labor under the Clause 1, Article 3 of the Government’s Decree No. 56/2009/NĐ-CP, dated on June 30, 2009, on assistance to the SMEs development.
