Why FDI Companies Need Specialist Tax Compliance
Vietnam's tax system is complex, frequently updated, and enforced with increasing rigor. FDI enterprises face unique challenges: transfer pricing documentation requirements, Foreign Contractor Tax (FCT) withholding on cross-border payments, DICA/IICA capital account compliance, and strict rules on profit repatriation — all on top of the standard CIT, VAT, and PIT obligations.
Common pitfalls for FDI companies include transfer pricing errors from misapplying the arm's length principle, profit repatriation delays from missing documentation, VAT missteps like overlooking export exemptions, FCT oversights on payments to foreign contractors, and currency violations from improper foreign exchange flows.
Our Tax Compliance service eliminates these risks. We handle every tax type, every deadline, and every interaction with the tax authorities — giving you a complete, defensible compliance position that withstands inspection.

FDI enterprises typically face Corporate Income Tax (CIT) at 20% (with 15-17% SME tiers from Oct 2025), Value Added Tax (VAT) at 8-10%, Personal Income Tax (PIT) on employee salaries, and Foreign Contractor Tax (FCT) on overseas payments. Import duties and industry-specific levies may also apply.
VAT returns are filed monthly or quarterly (depending on your revenue). CIT provisionals are filed quarterly, with an annual finalization. PIT is withheld monthly and finalized annually. FCT is declared each time a payment is made to a foreign contractor.
FCT is a withholding tax applied to payments made to foreign organizations or individuals for services, royalties, or licensing fees. The Vietnamese company is responsible for withholding and remitting the tax. Rates vary by contract type and can be 1-10% depending on the nature of the service.

Under Decree 132/2020 (amended by Decree 20/2025), FDI enterprises with related party transactions must prepare and maintain transfer pricing documentation, including a Local File, Master File, and Country-by-Country Report (for large groups).
