What Is FDI Reporting and Why It Matters
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) companies in Vietnam are required to submit investment reports to the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) as part of their compliance obligations. These reports are distinct from quarterly tax reports, annual financial statements, or audits, and are submitted through the DPI's online database.
FDI reports serve as a track record of your legal compliance and are mandatory for all FDI companies, covering each year the company has been active in Vietnam. They include critical details such as capital contributions, employee headcount, tax contributions, and operational status updates.
Missing or late FDI reports can result in administrative fines and — more critically — delays in future IRC (Investment Registration Certificate) amendments, capital increases, or project expansions. A clean DPI reporting history is essential for any FDI enterprise planning to grow in Vietnam.

"FDI reporting is one of those obligations that companies forget about — until they need to amend their IRC or repatriate profits. Then suddenly, a clean DPI history becomes critical. The best time to get this right is from year one."

No. FDI reports are submitted to the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) and cover investment implementation details like capital contributions, employee data, and operational status. Tax returns are submitted to the General Department of Taxation. Both are mandatory but serve different purposes.
FDI enterprises must submit quarterly investment activity reports and an annual investment implementation report to the DPI. The quarterly reports are due within 10 days after each quarter ends, and the annual report is due by March 31st of the following year.
Late or missing FDI reports can result in administrative fines. More importantly, a gap in your DPI reporting history can delay future IRC amendments, capital increases, or project licensing approvals — directly impacting your ability to expand operations.
Yes. We provide back-filing services to bring your DPI compliance up to date. We'll conduct a gap analysis, prepare the missing reports, and submit them to the DPI — clearing your compliance record for future transactions.
Yes. For groups with multiple FDI entities in Vietnam, we provide consolidated reporting services — tracking capital flows, employee data, and compliance status across all entities under a single coordination point.
We provide a clear checklist tailored to your company structure. Typically, we need capital injection records, bank statements showing disbursements, employee headcount data, tax payment summaries, and your current IRC/ERC. Our team handles the rest.
