The platform fees, Grab, Be, Gojek apply from 1,000 – 3,000 VND / withdrawal.
According to economists, when tech automakers declare and collect this tax on total travel income, it means that freight also increases and customers have to increase the amount paid for their vehicles. I have to go 7% more. reAffected audiences will remain consumers.
Mr. Dinh The Hien, an economic expert, said that to balance the benefits, companies must work out a plan to increase charges, but how to avoid a “hit” to customers.
