Key Benefits
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to file taxes in Vietnam?
Yes, if you are a tax resident (present 183+ days in a calendar year or 12 consecutive months from first arrival) or earn income sourced in Vietnam. Non-residents with Vietnam-sourced income also have filing obligations.
What is the tax rate for expats?
Tax residents are taxed on a progressive scale from 5% to 35% on all worldwide income. Non-residents pay a flat 20% on Vietnam-sourced income only.
Can I claim deductions?
Yes - the personal deduction is 11 million VND/month, plus 4.4 million VND/month per dependent. You can also deduct compulsory insurance contributions and approved charitable donations.
When is the filing deadline?
Annual PIT returns must be filed by 30 April of the following year. Monthly or quarterly PIT declarations are also required if your employer does not withhold on your behalf.
What if I also pay tax in my home country?
Vietnam has Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) with over 80 countries. We review whether you can claim foreign tax credits to avoid being taxed twice on the same income.
What if I have missed previous years?
We can help you file back years. Late filing penalties and interest apply, but voluntary disclosure before an audit significantly reduces exposure. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Our Guarantee
We guarantee accurate PIT returns based on information you provide. If our preparation error causes a penalty, we cover the penalty cost.
