Why Expert Guidance Matters

Why FDI Companies Need Specialist Tax Compliance

FDI enterprises face a rigorous monthly, quarterly, and annual tax filing calendar under the Tax Administration Law 38/2019/QH14. Late submissions trigger automatic penalties from VND 2-25 million and a daily late payment interest of 0.03%.

Compliance spans the new CIT Law 67/2025/QH15 (20% standard rate), VAT Law 48/2024/QH15, and complex Foreign Contractor Tax withholding. Furthermore, related-party transactions require strict Transfer Pricing documentation under Decree 20/2025/ND-CP.

Our licensed CPAs handle the entire compliance lifecycle. We prepare computation working papers, maximize your legal deductions, and e-file via your tax token. We proactively monitor your position to prevent costly surprises during tax inspections.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
