Charged on profit at a rate set by the previous year’s revenue, with losses carried forward for up to five years.
Charged on most sales in Vietnam. Genuinely exported services can be zero-rated, and large cash payments lose the input credit.
Withheld when the company pays an overseas supplier with no presence in Vietnam — often the first tax a new company meets.
An incentive belongs to a registered project in a listed sector or location, not to a company or an address.
Issued with the enterprise registration certificate; there is no separate tax registration.
Accounting regime, chief accountant, digital signature, bank accounts, VAT method and e-invoices come first.
Provisional corporate income tax is paid through the year, quarter by quarter.
The annual return is filed, and the balance paid, by the last day of the third month after the year ends.
A foreign-invested company’s annual statements are audited by a licensed Vietnamese firm, at any size.
Related-party rules apply as soon as a founder lends the company money.
Foreign contractor tax is withheld and declared on each payment to an overseas supplier, before the company has made a profit.
An expense paid in cash above the legal line loses both the VAT credit and the tax deduction.
Interest runs daily on unpaid tax from the deadline, without anyone sending a bill.
Profit leaves once a year, after the audit and the finalisation, through the capital account — and not while losses remain.
Tell us the entity, the city and your year end. We prepare a written tax position: the rate you provision at, whether an exemption or incentive is realistically yours, VAT on your sales and the 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.
