The reality

Why most FDI companies fail
compliance in Vietnam.

Local regulation evolves quickly. HQ assumptions don't always map to Vietnamese practice. Within the first 12 months, gaps surface — and they are expensive.

⚠️

Tax Misfilings

VAT, CIT, FCT and PIT rules misapplied during the first quarters trigger penalty assessments and back-tax exposure.

👥

Labor Misalignment

Contracts, social insurance and expat work permits drift out of sync with the latest labor code requirements.

📉

Accounting Drift

Vietnamese Accounting Standards diverge from HQ books — reconciliation becomes a recurring fire drill.

The cost of inaction

Compliance gaps don't
stay quiet for long.

Penalties compound. Audits stall operations. HQ loses confidence in local execution.

20%

Penalty Exposure

On tax under-declarations and late filings, compounded with interest.

3–6
months

Operational Disruption

While leadership responds to audits and reconstructs records.

HQ ↔ Local

Structural Conflict

Between group accounting policy and Vietnamese statutory requirements.

FAQ

Questions before you commit?

Everything you need to know about the FDI Compliance Foundation Package.

The package includes 4 expert advisory sessions covering Tax, Accounting, Labor, and Corporate Structure — each led by a domain specialist. You also receive a written Compliance Risk Assessment Report, a 3–6 month actionable roadmap, and direct Q&A access to senior TPM advisors throughout the engagement window. An executive walkthrough is included at delivery.
The base engagement starts at $1,500 for entities under 10 employees with standard complexity. Price may vary based on entity size, number of business lines, existing compliance backlog, and whether Chinese-language support is required. During the free consultation, we'll confirm exact scope and pricing — no surprises.
Typically: your business registration certificate (IRC/ERC), recent tax filings if available, current org chart, existing labor contracts, and a brief overview of your business model. We'll send a structured intake form after the kick-off call — it takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Yes — in fact, this is the ideal time. Many FDI entities make structural decisions early on that create compliance problems later. The package helps you set up the right foundation from day one: entity structure, tax position, labor framework, and accounting setup aligned with Vietnamese law.
Big 4 firms often assign junior staff to mid-size FDI engagements. Local firms may lack bilingual capability or FDI-specific experience. TPM sits in the middle — senior advisors only, FDI-focused, bilingual (Vietnamese/English, Chinese on request), with a transparent fixed-scope model. You know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
You receive a complete written deliverable package. Many clients continue with TPM for ongoing accounting, tax filing, and HR outsourcing services — but there is no obligation. The roadmap is designed to be actionable whether you continue with us or implement internally.
