Saigon Tax Trade Centre in New Year's Day 2011

Saigon Tax Trade Centre (Vietnamese: Trung Tâm Thương mại Thương xá Tax or simply Thương xá TAX) was a department store in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was located at 135 Nguyen Hue Boulevard, at the corner with Le Loi Boulevard, in Bến Nghé ward. It was closed in late September 2014, and demolished in October 2016 for redevelopment into a 40-floor complex skyscraper building named Satra TAX Plaza, with the department store podium of the tower will keep almost the same design with the former trade centre.

The building was originally built in 1924 as the Grands Magasins Charner department store. Currently, it is still an empty plot with the ventilation of the HCMC Metro Line 1 there on the side of Lê Lợi Boulevard with the Entrance 3 of the Opera House station nearby.
