To avoid and minimize the obstacles of double taxation for the transactions of its headquarters (in the country) and the new office (in the country where the new market is located), the company should comply with and apply regulations on transfer pricing for these transactions. The concepts of transfer pricing, anti-transfer pricing, associated companies, associated enterprises and so on have been enacted in the legal documents on taxes Vietnam since 1997. The OECD's transfer pricing guidelines only apply to enterprises with cross-border transactions; whereas, the Circulars No. 117/2005 and No. 66/2010 are applied to enterprises with cross-border associated transactions and domestic associated transactions.

Abstract

Marxist literary criticism is the result of applying the principle of Marxist philosophy and sociology that is considered advanced immutable theory. In the context of knowledge globalization today, we found out that criticism has seven major constraints, and this showed that Western Marxist theorists have had many new findings. At the same time, the Western literary criticism movements such as existentialism, structuralism, narrative, rhetoric, psychoanalysis, semiotics, reception aesthetics, explanation, post structuralism, new historicism and postmodern theory mention a range of new and interesting issues. The context shows that Marxist literary criticism is just a branch of criticism, rather than the entire literary criticism. To make progress, we should study and receive the whole world criticism open-mindedly and selectively to take the advanced level of the times.
