PDPTAX is a Ho Chi Minh City accounting and tax firm for Vietnamese and foreign-invested companies. We have handled corporate tax and supported clients through tax inspections, so we understand what the authorities look for and where problems usually come from: purchases without invoices, related-party transactions, non-deductible expenses, and foreign contractor tax. We prepare your records with those points in mind from the start.
An external firm like ours is not a replacement for your internal accountant. The two work best together. What we add is the layer of value that purely in-house work can rarely match.
Real compliance work often needs tax accounting, cost accounting, handling of purchases without invoices, and management reporting by branch at the same time. A single in-house staff member is rarely strong in all of them, and our team covers every part of the picture.
The person who enters the data and the person who checks it should not be the same. PDPTAX acts as the independent review layer that takes professional responsibility for your numbers, whether we do the full bookkeeping or supervise your internal accountant.
Compliance on paper is easy. Compliance that survives a tax inspection is not. We have taken clients through many corporate income tax finalizations and sat across the table from the tax authorities to explain and defend the figures. That experience shows us where the real exposure tends to lie, purchases from farmers and individuals without invoices, related-party transactions, deductible versus non-deductible expenses, foreign contractor tax, and years of neglected books that need cleaning up before they turn into a penalty. Because we already know what a post-audit usually asks for, we build your records to answer those questions from the start. This does not remove every risk, but it lowers it, and most issues are caught and corrected early rather than during an inspection.
Most of our work sits where the rules are hardest, food and beverage chains, importers and distributors, and foreign-invested manufacturing. We already understand special consumption tax, POS and delivery-platform revenue, cost accounting by outlet, and customs and import documentation, so you spend less time explaining your business to us.
Vietnamese tax and labor regulations change often, and a single in-house accountant is rarely able to track every new circular. Because we apply the same rules across many clients, we notice changes early and adjust your records before they become a problem.
Building a full in-house team of tax, payroll, and cost specialists is expensive. Working with us gives you access to that range of expertise for a fraction of the cost of hiring it all internally.
If your internal accountant resigns, takes leave, or is overloaded at month-end, your filings do not have to stall. We hold a second copy of the knowledge and keep the work moving.
