Following the report, revenue from trade in May stood at VND27 trillion (US$1.18 billion), up nearly VND4 trillion (US$175.8 million) month-on-month. Excluding the value-added tax refund amount, state budget revenue from trade reached nearly VND19.5 trillion (US$857 million), taking the accumulated figure in five months to VND118.7 trillion (US$5.2 billion), equivalent to 42% of the year's estimate and up 0.4% year-on-year. 

In May, state budget expenditure was posted at VND116.9 trillion (US$5.13 billion), totaling VND526.6 trillion (US$23.14 billion) in five months, equivalent to 34.6% of the yearly estimate and up 9.2% year-on-year. 

Of the total, expenditure for investment reached VND94.1 trillion (US$4.13 billion), or 23.5% of the year's estimate and up 23.4% year-on-year, while payments for debts were seen at VND50.7 trillion (US$2.22 billion), or 45.1% of the year's estimate and up 12.9% year-on-year. 

Additionally, regular expenditures were posted at VND379 trillion (US$16.65 billion), equivalent to 40.3% of the year's estimate and up 5.3% year-on-year. 

Vietnam's state budget revenue is estimated to reduce by some VND30.15 trillion (US$1.32 billion) this year as the country has to remove multiple tariffs under signed free trade agreements (FTAs), according to the Vietnam Customs.

This year is considered as an important transitional year, following the elimination of tariff barriers for  commodities imported from ASEAN countries, of which over 90% of the goods under the ASEAN trade agreement (ATIGA) will bear 0% tariff. Large amount of tax reduction is applied to items with high tax revenues such as cars (from 30% to 0%), components and spare parts (from 5% and 20% to 0%), steel (5% to 0%), among others.
