Rental taxes in Vietnam: the owner’s cheat sheet

10% on rent, 0.5% on purchase, 2% on sale — and zero annual property tax. All rates and deadlines explained.

The income formula

A foreign owner pays 10% of rent: 5% VAT + 5% PIT. Our management company withholds it automatically — your report arrives net.

Full tax table for an investor

  • Primary purchase: 10% VAT included in the price; 0.5% registration; 2% maintenance fund;
  • Resale purchase: 0.5% registration;
  • Rent: 10% of turnover;
  • Sale: 2% of the deal price;
  • Annual property tax: none.

Rental tax is paid quarterly, by the 30th of the following month. When we manage your unit, late fees are impossible — our accountant runs the payment calendar.

Income lands in your Vietnamese bank legally and exits via SWIFT or USDT, certified for your home-country tax credit.
