Vietnam will impose a tax of 25 percent on capital gains in property transactions as it moves to curb skyrocketing prices and speculation, the National Assembly, or parliament, said.
The tax, in addition to a 2-percent transfer tax already in place, would be applicable from January 2009, the office of the one-party legislature said in a report seen on Wednesday.
