 What Are the Benefit of setting up business in Vietnam?

Vietnam has a coastline that is more than 3,000 kilometers long, and it is situated in a significant region of Southeast Asia. Vietnam's diverse geography includes mountainous, highland, and coastal areas that are suitable for general economic zones, making it an ideal location for the growth of the tourism and trade sectors. Investors can benefit from incentives for land finance, import and export taxes, and corporate income tax when setting up business in Vietnam.


Tax incentives for businesses: The corporate tax rate (CIT) in Vietnam has been gradually decreasing over the past few years. In the 2004-2008 period, CIT was 28%, in the 2009-2013 period it was 25%, from 2014 to 2015, 22% and from January 1, 2016 up to this point, 20%. In addition, the provision of high corporate income tax incentives for a number of essential fields that need to be encouraged for investment has contributed to the attraction of investment, the encouragement of business, the creation of favorable conditions for enterprises to increase accumulation, the increase in investment in the economy, and the promotion of growth, thereby encouraging investors to start businesses in Vietnam.

Tax incentives for imports and exports: Regulations have been added to the 2016 Import and Export Tax Law to exempt high-tech businesses, science-tech businesses, and science-tech organizations from paying import taxes on raw materials, materials, and components that cannot be produced domestically within five years of the start of production. There are also import and export tax incentives being applied such as:

(i)Goods imported for foreign processing are exempt from import tax, and products exported and returned to foreign parties are exempt from export tax;

(ii)The tax payment deadline can be extended to 275 days from the date of filing the customs declaration for goods that are imported for the purpose of processing and are exempt from tax, goods that are temporarily imported for re-export, and goods that are raw materials and supplies used in the production of exported goods; Taxes on goods temporarily imported for re-export may be paid 15 days after the expiration date;

(iii)The creation of fixed assets for investment projects in areas of special investment encouragement, investment promotion fields, and locality with difficult socio-economic conditions is exempt from import tax on goods.

Incentives on land finance: The general land rent can be reduced from 1.5 percent to 1 percent for foreign investors investing in Vietnam. Furthermore, the State likewise specifies the utilization of the land cost change coefficient in deciding the land cost to compute the land lease, consequently, making Vietnam progressively turning into a good objective to draw in unfamiliar speculation and company foundation in Southeast Asia.

In the spirit of the state ensuring the rights of the investors' ownership, investment capital, and other interests of foreign organizations and individuals, creating favorable conditions, and simplifying procedures for such organizations and individuals to invest in Vietnam, the development of a transparent and consistent investment legal system is also increasingly becoming a useful tool to promote inflows of foreign direct investment into Vietnam.

The international public considers Vietnam's foreign investment law to be more open and appealing than those of some of the countries in the region. For instance, the law allows for 100% foreign capital ownership, administrative procedures are simplified, and there is no discrimination between Vietnamese and foreign-invested businesses. The law has been changing to see investment and business as matters between businesses and investors, with investors having full authority to make decisions about everything from investment projects to the company's formation and operations, and the government only guiding, creating an open legal environment with favorable mechanisms and procedures, supervising, and enforcing the law.
