Tax Agent Services in Hai Phong
Quick answer
A tax agent in Vietnam is a firm certified by the tax authority to carry out tax procedures for taxpayers. Our firm holds tax agent licence no. HP0682023, so we can register, file and sign tax returns as your agent, prepare refund files and represent you when the tax office asks for explanations or carries out an inspection.
What a tax agent can do for your company
- Tax registration and updates to your tax registration details.
- Preparing, signing as agent and filing VAT, PIT and CIT returns and annual finalisations.
- Preparing files for tax exemption, reduction and VAT refunds.
- Answering tax office requests and attending meetings on your behalf.
- Representing you during tax inspections at your premises.
- E-invoice procedures under your authorisation.
Tax agent or accounting firm: what is the difference?
An accounting firm keeps your books and prepares reports. A tax agent is licensed under the Law on Tax Administration to handle tax procedures and to sign tax filings as your agent. Because we are both, you have one contact for the books and for the tax office.
When foreign-invested companies use a tax agent
- VAT refunds for exporters or companies in an investment phase, where a well-prepared file shortens the process.
- Requests from the tax office to explain figures, especially in the first years of operation.
- Tax inspections and the review of related-party transactions.
- Change of accountant when your in-house staff are new and need someone qualified to review and sign.
