What is Foreign Contractor Tax?

Foreign Contractor Tax is a tax applied to foreign organizations and individuals that earn income from providing services or goods related to Vietnam, without operating under Vietnamese law. This tax ensures that foreign contractors contributing to Vietnam’s economy fulfill their tax obligations.

When Does Foreign Contractor Tax Arise?

Foreign Contractor Tax (FCT) arises in various scenarios under Vietnamese law, including:

  • Provision of Services in Vietnam: Foreign contractors providing direct services in Vietnam, such as consulting, technical services, or management, are required to pay Contractor Tax.
  • Provision of Goods and Services Across Borders: If a foreign contractor supplies goods or services from outside Vietnam that are used or consumed within the country, FCT may be applicable.
  • Construction and Installation Services: Foreign contractors involved in construction, installation, or related services within Vietnam are subject to Contractor Tax.
  • Commercial and Investment Activities: Foreign entities engaging in investment or commercial activities in Vietnam, such as providing services or selling goods through affiliates, must adhere to Contractor Tax regulations.
  • Other Business Activities: Payments made to foreign partners under various contracts related to business activities in Vietnam can also trigger Contractor Tax obligations.
