Vietnam Tax and Accounting Services - Foreign Contractor Tax Declaration


Author:

Betsey
Basic Information
 
Scope of Application:
Foreign organizations and individuals that derive income within Vietnam but have no permanent establishment in the country are subject to the Contractor Tax Law. Due to language, reporting format, and currency barriers, Vietnamese companies conducting transactions with such entities must act as withholding agents for contractor tax if the foreign parties cannot self-declare and pay taxes directly to the Vietnamese government. This applies to all transactions between a foreign-invested company (established under Vietnamese law) and foreign organizations/individuals without a permanent presence in Vietnam.
