Professional Expertise in Vietnamese Tax Law
Our team maintains current knowledge of regulations governing personal income tax, corporate income tax, value-added tax, and transfer pricing through continuous review of official publications from the General Department of Taxation. This includes monitoring of new circulars that interpret existing law, decrees that establish procedural requirements, and official letters that provide guidance on specific fact patterns. We apply this knowledge to ensure filings align with current requirements and to identify potential areas of examination during audits.
Systematic Preparation Methods
Our filing preparation follows a structured workflow that includes initial data collection, verification against source documents, calculation review using independent methods, consistency checks with prior filings, and final quality control before submission. Transfer pricing documentation involves functional analysis interviews, selection of appropriate tested parties, execution of benchmarking searches with documented selection criteria, and assembly of files that address each requirement under Decree 132. This methodical approach reduces the likelihood of errors and incomplete filings.
Client-Focused Service Delivery
Each engagement begins with discussion of specific requirements, timeline expectations, and preferred communication methods. We provide regular status updates during preparation periods and make ourselves available to address questions about filings or regulatory obligations. When issues arise during audits or when tax authority inquiries are received, we work collaboratively with clients to assemble responsive documentation and prepare clear written submissions. This approach prioritizes transparency and ensures clients understand their tax positions and obligations.
Transparent Pricing Structure
Our service fees are established at engagement outset based on scope and complexity. Personal and corporate tax return preparation follows fixed pricing that reflects the number of income sources, applicable deductions, and filing entity count. Transfer pricing documentation is priced based on transaction types, number of tested entities, and required reports. Audit support engagement fees account for anticipated correspondence volume and complexity of issues under examination. This transparent approach allows clients to budget appropriately and understand the relationship between service scope and fees.
Track Record of Accurate Filings
Since establishment in 2018, we have prepared over 400 personal income tax returns, 180 corporate income tax packages, and 35 transfer pricing documentation sets for clients operating in Vietnam. Our filings maintain high rates of acceptance without subsequent adjustment requests from tax authorities, reflecting careful preparation and regulatory alignment. During audit defense engagements, we work to present client positions clearly and systematically, with documented support for claimed deductions and reported amounts. This focus on accuracy and thorough documentation supports favorable outcomes during tax examinations.

Distinctive Features
Service characteristics that set our practice apart in the Vietnamese tax advisory market
Specialized Transfer Pricing Capability
Unlike generalist practices, we maintain dedicated staff with experience in transfer pricing documentation assembly, benchmarking analysis, and functional interview techniques. This specialization allows us to prepare Local Files, Master Files, and Country-by-Country Reports that address examination priorities under Decree 132 and withstand scrutiny during tax audits.
Audit Defense Protocol
We maintain a systematic approach to audit defense that includes review of examination notifications, assembly of supporting documentation with clear index systems, preparation of written responses with legal analysis, and coordination of meetings with tax authorities. This protocol provides structure during examination periods and helps present client positions effectively.
Written Tax Position Memos
For complex filing decisions, we provide written memoranda that explain the tax treatment, cite relevant regulatory provisions, identify assumptions and limitations, and document the basis for positions taken. These memos serve as audit support and help clients understand the reasoning behind filing approaches.
Dedicated Client Service Model
Each client works with the same team members across engagement periods, ensuring continuity of knowledge about business operations, prior filing positions, and tax planning objectives. This consistency reduces the need for repeated explanations and allows us to identify issues based on familiarity with client circumstances.
