Close a Vietnam company properly

In Vietnam, closing a company depends on the tax, accounting and invoice position, payroll and any permits, all settled before dissolution. We review where your company stands first, then map the route and work through it with you.

Vietnam company closure, in plain terms

When company closure is the right step

  1. The company never became active

    Registered, but it never invoiced or hired.

  2. The business has stopped trading

    Operations have ended, but filing obligations continue.

  3. The founders are leaving Vietnam

    The company has to close before, or in step with, the people who run it.

  4. The company is being replaced

    The wrong structure or activity, with a new entity taking over.

  5. Compliance costs no longer make sense

    Quarterly filings, audits and bookkeeping for a company that no longer trades.

  6. A dormant entity is building risk

    Missed filings accrue penalties while nobody watches.

How a closure runs

  1. Closure review

    We read the registration, tax, books and payroll, and confirm what closure involves.

  2. Readiness and gap mapping

    Missing filings, open invoices and permits, in the order they must clear.

  3. Tax and accounting cleanup

    Books and returns brought current and the tax finalisation settled. Often the longest stage.

  4. Formal dissolution filings

    The dissolution decision, the notifications and the tax-code and registration filings.

  5. Authority follow-up

    Tax, social insurance and registration steps tracked to confirmation.

  6. Handover

    The dissolution confirmation and a closed-file record for your records.

Frequently asked

Can a Vietnam closure start before all documents are ready?
Yes. The review works from what you have and tells you what is missing, and whether it blocks closure.
How do I know if a Vietnam company is ready to close?
Whether the books and returns are current, whether invoices and payroll are settled, and whether any permits are still active. The closure review checks each one.
Is closing a Vietnam company the same as liquidation?
Most solvent companies close by dissolution. Insolvency is a separate, court-led process.
How long does closing a Vietnam company take?
It depends mostly on how much tax and accounting cleanup comes first. We set out the sequence at review rather than quote a single number.
What if the Vietnam company never traded?
Closure is usually simpler, though returns may still be due for the periods it was registered.
What if there are tax, payroll or permit issues?
They are handled as prerequisites within the same case, before the dissolution filing.
What is involved in closing a Vietnam company?
Closing a Vietnam company requires an orderly legal, tax, accounting, employment, creditor, and registration process. Depending on the circumstances, this may include corporate approvals, settlement of liabilities, employee actions, tax finalisation, contract and account closure, deregistration, and record retention. Begin with a full position review before announcing closure or allowing operations to lapse.
