Expert Guidance for Companies Engaging Contractors in Vietnam
Are you a company or recruiter looking to hire contractors in Vietnam? Whether you need tax compliance or full PEO services we connect you with umbrella companies that really know what they’re doing.
Why Choose Contractor Taxation?
We Know All Your Options From umbrella companies to professional employer organization (PEO) services, we have comprehensive knowledge of every employment solution available for contractors working in Vietnam—especially for non-resident contractors staying up to 182 days.
Partnerships with All Major Umbrella Companies We’ve established relationships with every experienced umbrella company operating in Vietnam. This means we can refer you to providers that truly deliver on their promises:
- Work permit management – including Work Permit on Arrival and Business Visa conversion to Work Permit after arrival
- Full tax compliance – managing non-resident 20% tax withholding and complete tax compliance
- Minimal admin for contractors – umbrellas handle all matters wherever possible
- Net monthly payments to overseas bank accounts with payroll/tax documentation supplied each month
- Experienced with foreign expert hires – providers who have handled technical services programmes before
We Only Recommend Umbrellas That Really Know What They’re Doing We understand the frustration of working with umbrella companies that promise everything but only deliver bare basics, causing big problems for contractors later. That’s why we only refer you to experienced, reliable providers with proven track records in handling foreign contractor placements in Vietnam.
