| | | | This 2025 edition of An Introduction to Doing Business in Vietnam offers essential insights for companies aiming to establish or expand their presence in this rapidly evolving market. It provides a comprehensive and updated overview of market entry requirements, intellectual property rights (IPR) considerations, taxation policies, and HR & payroll regulations. | | | | | Vietnam’s economic outlook for 2025 is highly positive, and industries primed for investment-led growth include manufacturing, technology, retail, and renewables. The country surpassed all socio-economic targets set by the National Assembly for 2024, with GDP growth exceeding 7 percent. | | | | | Effective January 1, 2025, Vietnam’s Decree 163 provides clear guidance on emerging services like data centers, cloud computing, and OTT telecom services. Its provisions strengthen the implementation of the 2024 Telecommunications Law. | | | | | Once Law No. 48/2024/QH15 on Value Added Tax (VAT) comes into effect from July 1, 2025, the previous 2008 VAT Law along with its amendments under Laws No. 31/2013/QH13, No. 71/2014/QH13, and No. 106/2016/QH13, will cease to be in effect. We discuss key changes to Vietnam’s VAT regime. | | | | | The Vietnam government is restructuring to ensure greater efficiency across its bureaucracy by reducing the number of ministries and agencies to 22 and addressing existing overlaps in public administration. Businesses and investors should monitor the changes to the regulatory landscape under the new bureaucratic regime. |
