Three changes every company must handle in the 2026 financial year
2026 is the first year in which the three instruments below apply together. Companies that do not prepare before the first closing period of the year will have to redo figures later.
| Instrument | Effective | What you must do |
|---|---|---|
| Circular 99/2025/TT-BTC | 1 January 2026 | Move to the new chart of accounts, rename financial statements, and issue your internal Regulation on opening accounts |
| Decree 255/2026/ND-CP | 1 July 2026, applying from the 2026 tax period | Re-map related-party relationships, check the 30% EBITDA interest cap, and confirm whether your company is exempt from preparing transfer pricing documentation |
| Resolution 110/2025/UBTVQH15 | From the 2026 tax period | Update payroll to the new personal deductions: VND 15.5 million/month for the taxpayer and VND 6.2 million/month per dependent |
Four moments when companies usually come to A Chau
- Just incorporated. With no revenue yet, filings and reports are still due on time. Missing this first stage is the most common cause of late-payment charges later.
- Books backlogged over several periods. There is no need to redo everything: the first step is to establish which periods are already finalised, which are still open, and which items are at risk of being disallowed.
- A tax audit or inspection decision has arrived. The period between receiving the decision and the inspection team’s arrival largely determines the outcome.
- Preparing to buy, sell or transfer capital. The seller’s tax obligations and the target company’s outstanding tax risks must be quantified before signing.

Frequently asked questions
Which companies does A Chau serve?
Companies with legal-entity status — limited liability companies and joint-stock companies, both Vietnamese and foreign-invested. A Chau covers accounting, tax and finance work; we do not serve individuals.
Is the initial file review charged?
No. A Chau reviews your current books and tax files, points out what is missing and where the risks are, before any discussion of a service contract.
Do companies have to change their registered address now that Ho Chi Minh City no longer has district-level administration?
No, it is not mandatory. From 1 July 2025 the city has 168 commune-level units, but companies are not required to amend their Enterprise Registration Certificate; invoices bearing the old or the new address are both valid under Decree 70/2025/ND-CP.
What changes in the accounting regime from 2026?
Circular 99/2025/TT-BTC replaces Circular 200/2014/TT-BTC from 1 January 2026. The Balance Sheet is renamed the Statement of Financial Position, the chart of accounts adds 12 accounts and removes 29, and each enterprise decides its own chart of accounts but must issue a Regulation on opening accounts.
If a company borrows from its director, must it prepare transfer pricing documentation?
Possibly. Under Decree 255/2026/ND-CP, lending or borrowing from 10% of the owner’s contributed capital already creates a related-party relationship. Companies with revenue under VND 500 billion that meet the profit-margin conditions are exempt from preparing the documentation, but must still declare.
Start with a file review — free of charge
