Preface
Taxation permeates business transactions in Vietnam, and a strong understanding of tax liabilities
enables foreign investors to maximize the tax efficiency of their investments while ensuring full
compliance with all tax laws and regulations.
Vietnam Briefing’s Tax, Accounting, and Audit Guide for 2016, produced in collaboration with the
tax experts at Dezan Shira & Associates, aims to provide an overview of taxes for businesses and
individuals inVietnam, as well as fundamental accounting and audit information for the Vietnamese
business context.
This guide was first created in mid-2014 based on the information available at the time and has
been updated as of December 2015. As the tax situation of each enterprise is unique and Vietnam’s
regulatory environment is subject to change, it is advisable to seek professional tax advice specific
to your business.
