Breakfast Talk on Tax: Addressing Tax Interpretation Challenges

Forvis Mazars Vietnam in collaboration with the Dutch Business Association Vietnam (DBAV), is pleased to host a Breakfast Talk on Tax, focusing on current tax interpretation challenges in Vietnam.

In November 2025, DBAV conducted a targeted survey among member companies across various sectors. The results highlighted increasing uncertainty and inconsistent interpretations related to key tax areas, with potential financial and operational impacts on foreign-invested enterprises, particularly SMEs.
