The European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement marks the beginning of a new era in Vietnam’s economic development, and paves the way for deep and long-lasting integration of the EU into the ASEAN economic space. It comes just at the right time, as ASEAN prepares for implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community at the close of 2015.

Vietnam’s competitive advantage lies in its lowcost labor, strategic location, and integration into global supply chains through its bilateral and multilateral trade agreements. The country’s business environment is soon to become even more rewarding for investors, as the Corporate Income Tax rate will be only 20 percent from January 1, 2016. There are a number of incentives available to investors, and professional tax planning advice should be sought to make the most of this market overflowing with opportunities.
