Programme Synopsis

From possible changes in its Value-added Tax (VAT) to Vietnam’s implementation plans of the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) model rules against the backdrop of a large manufacturing sector, to the ongoing developments in customs-related matters, the tax landscape in Vietnam is potentially a whirlwind of confusion if the underlying complexities are not diffused.

With its economic growth easing and ongoing headwinds of tax and customs-related developments, it is certainly a vital time to zoom in on managing tax audits and the appeal process.

What better way to achieve this than to hear directly from those in the thick of action. SCTP is pleased to partner with the team from EY Consulting Vietnam, headed by Mr. Robert King, Indochina Tax Leader, together with Mr Thuan Cong Phan, Director of Tax and Accredited Tax Advisor (Income Tax) Mr Wesley Chua, Senior Manager of International Tax and Transaction Services.

Plug in on the essential insights into the various tax implications for businesses in Singapore with presence in Vietnam.
