How deadlines are calculated
Under Tax Administration Law 38/2019/QH14 (check for new documents if the rules change):
- Monthly filing: no later than the 20th of the following month.
- Quarterly filing: no later than the last day of the first month of the next quarter (31 January, 30 April, 31 July, 31 October).
- Provisional quarterly corporate income tax: no later than the 30th of the first month of the next quarter (30 January, 30 April, 30 July, 30 October) - payment only, no quarterly corporate income tax return.
- Annual finalisation for enterprises and organisations: the last day of the 3rd month after the year ends - 31 March for a calendar year.
- Individuals finalising their own personal income tax: the last day of the 4th month - 30 April.
- Payment of tax arising on a return: same deadline as the return.
- Deadlines on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday: move to the next working day. The calendar already moves them for Saturdays, Sundays and 1 January, 30 April, 1 May and 2 September.
Not calculated automatically: Lunar New Year (Tet), Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, the extra day next to National Day, and compensatory days off. If a deadline falls within the official Tet holiday or a compensatory day off, it moves again - check that year's holiday schedule. Late payment incurs late payment interest; check the current rate in the documents in force.

Questions about Vietnam tax deadlines
When is the monthly tax return for December 2026 due?
Wed, 20 Jan 2027. This is the 20th of the month after the filing period, the original deadline under Tax Administration Law 38/2019/QH14. Tax payable on the return is due on the same date. Note: January-February usually includes the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday: if this date falls within the official Tet holiday, the deadline moves to the first working day after Tet.
Is there a quarterly return deadline in January 2027?
Yes. File and pay quarterly taxes for Q4 2026 is due Mon, 1 Feb 2027 (moved from Sun, 31 Jan 2027 because 31 Jan is a Sunday). The quarterly deadline is the last day of the first month of the next quarter; businesses filing quarterly submit the return and pay the tax for the previous quarter by then.
When is the deadline for provisional corporate income tax payment for Q4 2026?
Mon, 1 Feb 2027. Moved from Sat, 30 Jan 2027 because 30 Jan is a Saturday, 31 Jan is a Sunday. The original deadline under Tax Administration Law 38/2019/QH14 is Sat, 30 Jan 2027. January-February usually includes the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday: if this date falls within the official Tet holiday, the deadline moves to the first working day after Tet.
What if a filing deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday?
The deadline moves to the next working day. This calendar already moves deadlines for Saturdays, Sundays and the fixed solar-calendar holidays (1 January, 30 April, 1 May, 2 September), and each entry says which date it was moved from and why. Lunar New Year (Tet), Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, the extra day next to National Day and compensatory days off change every year, so they are not calculated automatically: if a deadline falls on one of them according to the official notice, it moves again.
What happens if a return or tax payment is late?
Paying tax after the deadline incurs late payment interest calculated on the number of days late and the amount paid late; filing a return after the deadline may lead to an administrative penalty. The exact rates are in the documents in force - check the current rates or ask the tax authority instead of relying on old figures.
