Vietnam has a very complex tax structure, especially for foreign investors. The most common Vietnam’s tax laws include Corporate Income Tax (CIT), VAT, Special Sales Tax, Double Tax Agreements (DTA), Transfer pricing, as well as foreign account tax compliance, indirect tax, import tax, and special consumption tax. Understanding these tax regulations is crucial for investors navigating Vietnam’s complex tax landscape.
