Keep your business records organised for bookkeeping and reporting.
A foreign-invested company keeps its books to Vietnamese rules from the day it is registered, and every tax filing and the annual audit start from them.
Income, expenses, invoices, payments and payroll recorded as they happen, not reconstructed at filing time.
Registered with the tax authority before the first invoice and kept with the books.
Salaries, statutory contributions and tax withholding run on records the books can support.
A licensed Vietnamese audit firm audits a foreign-invested company’s statements every year, at any size.
Four points where a gap in the records costs more than the bookkeeping would have.
An expense paid in cash above the legal line loses both the VAT credit and the tax deduction.
A founder’s loan to the company is a related-party transaction, disclosed with the finalisation.
Profit leaves only after the audited statements and the finalisation are filed.
A VAT treatment is only as strong as the contracts and invoices that support it.
Returns, provisional payments, the audit and the finalisation, each on a date the law fixes.
VAT and personal income tax withholding returns by the 20th of the following month, for a company that files monthly.
Quarterly VAT and PIT returns and the provisional corporate income tax payment by the last day of the following quarter’s first month; a new company files quarterly in its first year.
Foreign contractor tax withheld on each payment abroad and declared per occurrence, within ten days.
The auditor engaged in the third quarter, and the provisional payments checked against the projected liability and topped up.
The audited financial statements filed, audited by a Vietnam-licensed firm.
The CIT finalisation filed and the balance paid, with the PIT finalisation and any transfer-pricing disclosure — 31 March for a calendar-year company.
A foreign-owned entity needs a Direct Investment Capital Account before charter capital can be paid in, and the window is 90 days from licensing. We prepare the pack, coordinate with your chosen bank, and track the deadline.
Tell us the entity, the headcount and your year end. We set out the accounting regime, the monthly record trail, payroll and the audit calendar, handled by a named owner.
No obligation. We tell you if it is not the right route.

Sonsoto walked us through the investment registration and the enterprise registration as one sequence, with the capital account planned before we filed. We knew what came next at every step.
We were told which documents needed legalising before we flew in, not after. The file was complete the first time the licensing authority saw it.
The park, the licence and the bank were handled by one team. The capital-account deadline was tracked for us, and we were told what was outstanding while there was still time.
Our parent company’s documents were the hard part. Sonsoto told us exactly what the bank would ask for and in what order, so nothing was missing from the file.
We wanted the central coast, not one of the big cities. Sonsoto compared the routes honestly and set the company up where the operation actually is.
Work permits and residence cards for our first hires were planned with the licence, not bolted on afterwards. One scope, in writing, before anything started.
