Tax

Tax compliance is a critical aspect of doing business in Vietnam, where the regulatory framework covers corporate income tax (CIT), value-added tax (VAT), personal income tax (PIT), foreign contractor tax (FCT), and other taxes. Non-compliance with tax regulations can result in penalties, fines, and increased scrutiny from tax authorities, making it essential for businesses to adopt effective tax management strategies.
We provide comprehensive legal support on tax matters, including advising on tax planning, compliance, and audits. Our services include reviewing tax obligations, structuring tax-efficient transactions, and assisting with tax filings and reporting. We also represent clients in disputes with tax authorities, managing appeals and negotiations to resolve tax-related issues efficiently.
By partnering with us, businesses can ensure compliance with Vietnam’s tax regulations, optimize their tax positions, and minimize financial and reputational risks associated with tax audits and disputes.

Tax Advisory and Transactional

Tax Advisory and Transactional Services are crucial for optimizing tax obligations and ensuring compliance with Vietnam’s regulatory framework in business operations and transactions. Effective tax planning helps businesses structure their deals, investments, and transactions in a tax-efficient manner while minimizing risks of non-compliance.

We provide comprehensive tax advisory services, including strategic tax planning for domestic and cross-border transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures. Our team assists in structuring transactions to optimize tax benefits and ensure compliance with corporate income tax (CIT), value-added tax (VAT), foreign contractor tax (FCT), and other applicable taxes.

Transfer Pricing

Transfer Pricing refers to the pricing of transactions between related parties, such as the sale of goods, provision of services, or transfer of intellectual property. In Vietnam, transfer pricing regulations aim to prevent profit shifting and ensure that related-party transactions reflect market value (arm’s length principle). Businesses must comply with strict documentation and reporting requirements to avoid penalties, audits, and potential tax adjustments.

We provide comprehensive transfer pricing services, including preparing compliance reports, conducting benchmarking studies, and drafting intercompany agreements that align with the arm’s length principle. Our team also assists clients in developing transfer pricing policies, managing tax audits, and defending their pricing strategies during investigations by tax authorities.

Tax Ruling & Legislative Consulting

Tax Ruling & Legislative Consulting involves obtaining official guidance from tax authorities and advising on the interpretation and application of tax laws and regulations. In Vietnam, businesses may seek tax rulings to clarify complex tax issues, confirm the tax treatment of specific transactions, or secure favorable interpretations for complex or cross-border operations. This proactive approach helps businesses minimize uncertainties and avoid future disputes with tax authorities.

We assist clients in preparing and submitting tax ruling requests, ensuring that all necessary documentation and legal arguments are presented clearly and effectively. Our team also monitors legislative changes and advises clients on their potential impact, ensuring they remain compliant and strategically positioned in response to new regulations. Additionally, we represent clients in discussions and negotiations with tax authorities to secure the most favorable outcomes.
