Running a successful and sustainable business in Vietnam means that your business must comply with all related accounting and tax laws and regulations in the country. The most important part that you have to pay attention to for accounting law compliance is the deadlines.
Missing the tax and accounting deadlines will jeopardise your business tremendously. So, business owners, here is the information you have to keep in mind for compliance deadlines in Vietnam for 2020.
There are four fiscal year periods you can choose from over the year in Vietnam but the most important ones are in the first quarter of 2020: January 30, 2020 and March 30, 2020.
January 30, 2020

March 30, 2020
Another important deadline in Vietnam is March 30, 2020 for the submission of most of your reports:
You are only required to submit the financial statement by this deadline in 2020 if your company is registered before October 2019. Otherwise, you can do the submission together with your financial statement of 2020.
Apart from the important deadlines in Q1, there are several other deadlines your business must comply with quarterly, annually, and bi-annually:
Quarterly
Bi-annually
Annually
You will face a fine if you fail to meet the set deadlines. The amount of fines depends on the number of days you’re late to submit the declaration and/or payment, ranging between VND 700,000 and VND 25,000,000. The penalty is more serious for non-payment: the abolishment of your company license.
On top of that, according to the Vietnamese New Penal Code, companies will be deemed criminal for tax evasion.
