Expat Taxes in Vietnam
Planning your move to Vietnam? Here is everything you need to know about expat taxes for digital nomads and expats in 2026.
Vietnam's tax system is dangerous for the uninformed. Non-residents (staying under 183 days) are theoretically taxed at a flat 20% on Vietnam-sourced income. However, if you stay over 183 days, you become a tax resident and are taxed on your worldwide income at aggressive progressive rates up to 35%. While enforcement on tourist nomads has been lax, the legal risk of severe tax evasion penalties is present.
