Why Vietnam?

Software and high tech startups

Vietnam grants 10% CIT for 15 years on qualifying high tech and software activities, one of the most aggressive preferential regimes in Asia. VinaCapital, Mekong Capital and 500 Global are actively deploying. VAT 10% and 80 double tax treaties round out the package.

Manufacturing exporters and China plus one plays

Vietnam is the canonical China plus one destination, with Samsung, Foxconn and Intel anchoring industrial parks. Zero dividend WHT to foreign corporate shareholders enables clean upstream repatriation. IRC plus ERC sequential filings establish foreign invested entities.

Foreign holdco structures repatriating to corporates

Corporate shareholders receive Vietnamese dividends free of withholding tax, a rare advantage in Southeast Asia. Combined with the 10% high tech rate and broad treaty network, Vietnam can outperform Singapore on effective tax for operating businesses.

Considerations

If you need English language operations

Vietnamese is mandatory for all filings, contracts and tax submissions. Physical office is required, with substantive local director presence often expected. Notarised translations add cost and time at every step.

If you need frictionless international banking

Vietnam has been on the FATF grey list since June 2023, meaning correspondent banking and SWIFT relationships face enhanced due diligence. Account opening for foreign invested entities can take months.
