In 2015, Vietnam comes under the investment spotlight as the country moves towards its goal of ASEAN Economic Community compliance at the end of the year. When this occurs, the full extent of the tariff reductions negotiated by ASEAN – of which Vietnam is a member - will kick in. This will have an immediate impact, especially with respect to Vietnam’s bilateral trade with China, its giant neighbor. The ASEAN Free Trade Agreement with China will be fully enacted in Vietnam on January 1, 2016, with the elimination of both import and export duties on some 90 percent of all goods traded between Vietnam and China. ASEAN also has a similar agreement with India, with whom Vietnamese bilateral trade can also be expected to massively increase.

In this issue of Vietnam Briefing we explore how Vietnam’s Free Trade Agreements - and especially those via its membership in ASEAN - will affect foreign investment into Vietnam. We also go a step further and examine the specific, bilateral Double Tax Agreements that Vietnam has enacted, and how these can be further used to minimize profits and withholding taxes that would otherwise be levied upon foreign investors. This holds true both for investors establishing a presence in the country, as well as contract manufacturers looking to outsource. Finally, we look at how Vietnam’s rules of origin are key in trade with China.

The content of this magazine was compiled by Dezan Shira & Associates staff in Vietnam, providing corporate establishment, business advisory, tax advisory and compliance, accounting, payroll, due diligence and financial review services to foreign investors in emerging Asia.

As Vietnam increasingly finds itself on the receiving end of foreign investment and becomes progressively integrated into the global economy, the pace of changes to trade and tax policies can be difficult to keep up with. However, understanding the state’s policy objectives, and understanding the wider context of its trade policy and how it affects one’s investments can make the difference between an investment and a lucrative investment.

In this issue, we will first look at the broader context of global trade and the growing salience of Free Trade Agreements (FTA) between Vietnam and its trade partners. We will examine the effects of current FTAs on Vietnam’s exports, the advantages and disadvantages thus far, as well as the response of Vietnamese enterprises to the policies of the FTAs in effect. Also an in-depth look at key bilateral and regional trade agreements will reveal some telling trends.

Next we will decipher the complex policies and procedures in Vietnam’s Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA). In the past, investors and expatriate professionals have found themselves in the costly predicament of paying redundant corporate and income taxes. Fortunately, as of 2011, Vietnam has signed Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with more than 60 countries and territories, including France, China and Canada. We’ll get down to the nitty-gritty details of eligibility for different corporate entities and individuals, deduction methods, application procedures, and timelines.

Vietnam is increasingly hitting the news for its low labor costs, similar to China many years ago, but the country in fact holds several additional, generally unexplored advantages for foreign investors.

We first take a quick look at exactly how the labor situation is changing in China and which specific companies (in the fields of electronics, toys, clothing and accessories, and automobiles) are shifting production to Vietnam. We then take a step back to take a snapshot of how Vietnam stacks up politically, demographically, geographically and economically and the trend in which it continues to develop, including a closer look at trade with China.

Finally, courtesy of the tax and accounting specialists at Dezan Shira & Associates, a comparison of FDI-contributing countries and foreign investment structures and taxes. Sprinkled throughout are tables based on related indicators from the World Bank’s “Ease of Doing Business” rankings – you may be a little surprised by what you find.

Vietnam is fast becoming the go-to destination for manufacturers looking for the next location with cheap and skilled labor. However, many businesses may still be unaware of the fast, and still mainly untapped, potential of the country’s domestic consumer market. Currently, Vietnam’s middle class sits at 12 million, but this is expected to more than double by 2020, reaching 33 million people. In fact, Vietnam’s middle class is now the fastest growing in Southeast Asia. Selling products into Vietnam, as well as exporting products from Vietnam for sale, is now an important business opportunity that must not be missed.

In this issue of Vietnam Briefing Magazine, we provide you with a clear understanding of the current business trends related to trade in Vietnam, as well as explaining how to set up your trading business in the country. We also attempt to give perspective on what will be Vietnam’s place in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2015, and look at some of the country’s key import and export regulations. Finally, we analyze Vietnam’s important free trade agreements and its World Trade Organization obligations.

With more than 20 years of experience in the region, Dezan Shira & Associates (along with members of the Dezan Shira Asian Alliance) are pleased to assist businesses and investors in exploring options for establishing or expanding their trading presence in Asia. For additional business intelligence and regular updates on regulatory, legal, and tax developments related to trading in Asia, please log on to our region and country-specific websites.

As more and more foreign companies look to Vietnam as Asia’s next growth market and key sourcing destination, finding the right employees has taken on an added importance.  While the country’s labor pool is growing fast, there is intense competition to attract top candidates for positions in Vietnam.

Vietnam is undergoing strong economic growth and is experiencing the benefits of its demographic dividend. As such, Vietnam is increasingly seen as the place to be in Asia for foreign businesses and investors. In this fast changing environment, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the legal obligations that companies have to their employees and what trends are affecting the HR and payroll landscape.

In this issue of Vietnam Briefing Magazine, we attempt to clarify HR and payroll processes in Vietnam. We first take you through the current trends affecting the HR landscape and then we delve into the process of hiring and paying your employees. We next look at what specific obligations an employer has to their employees. Additionally, we guide you through the often complex system of visas, work permits, and temporary residence cards. Finally, we highlight the benefits of outsourcing your payroll to a “pan-Asia” vendor.

As Vietnam’s dynamic economy continues to evolve, its tax regime is also continuing to develop to fit the new needs of the country and those doing business within it. While Vietnam is attempting to simplify its value-added tax (VAT) system, properly filing your VAT and ensuring that you are entitled to, and receive, such things as exemptions and refunds, remains a confusing process.

With certain exceptions, all transactions related to goods and services used for production, trading, or consumption are subject to VAT. It is thus very important to determine correctly which VAT calculation method best suits your business and ensure that the tax process is followed carefully.

In this issue of Vietnam Briefing, we attempt to clarify the entire VAT process by taking you through an introduction as to what VAT is, who and what is liable, and how to pay it properly. We first take you through the basics of VAT in Vietnam before taking you deeper into the topic. Additionally, we provide updates on the new changes to the VAT process and explain how they will impact your business.

For investors looking to make forays into Vietnam, choosing between a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (100% FOE) and a joint venture (JV) can have significant implications, as both have their pros and cons and the permissible establishment details (such as percent of foreign capital contributions) for each varies by sector.

As 2012 will be a year of significant change in limitations on foreign ownership regulations for 100% FOEs and JVs, this issue offers a clear snapshot of up-to-date regulations and specific changes to expect in 2012, as well as a useful summary of tax incentives and exemptions. Also, a roadmap and timeline for licensing procedures take the guesswork out of this initial step in establishing a business in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese government has also recently issued a number of policies to encourage supporting industries, especially those connected to high-tech. Each eligible project to manufacture supporting industry products (including materials, spare parts, accessories and semi-finished products) can receive the government incentives that we describe here. To help you determine what qualifies as a supporting industry to high-tech, this article includes a comprehensive list of the 46 types of advanced technology and 76 high-tech products prioritized for investment.

In this issue of Vietnam Briefing, we discuss the issues of tax and foreign exchange control. Tax finalization is compulsory for foreign invested enterprises in Vietnam, so we look a little deeper into the procedures for corporate income tax and personal income tax, including documentation, deductable expenses, carrying losses forward, and allocation between headquarters and subsidiaries. We also discuss the two value-added tax calculation methods – the credit method and the direct method – and the invoice, filing, and refund requirements for each. Finally, an issue of paramount concern of all foreign investors entering into Vietnam: foreign exchange control. What are the details of transferring capital in and out? Which of the four types of bank accounts available to an FIE do you need? How do you go about borrowing and paying back foreign loans? This article answers these three questions.
