Tax settlement services in Phu Tho Province

1. Introduction to tax settlement services in Phu Tho Province

Tax settlement is the process of summarizing the tax obligations of businesses and individuals for a fiscal year, including major taxes such as corporate income tax (CIT) and personal income tax (PIT). The settlement results help tax authorities determine the amount of tax payable or refundable, and also serve as a measure to assess the entity’s compliance with regulations.
For businesses, income tax finalization helps review and detect errors in accounting records and documents, allowing for timely adjustments to avoid risks such as back taxes, penalties, or regular audits. For individuals, personal income tax finalization ensures that employees pay their taxes correctly and are eligible for refunds if there is a difference between the amount paid and the amount due.
Utilizing PMH’s professional tax settlement services saves your business and you time, reduces compliance risks, and optimizes legitimate tax benefits (e.g., leveraging incentives, handling carry-forward losses/profits). Our services include consultation, document review, tax return preparation, and representation with tax authorities when necessary.

2. When does a business need to file a tax return?

Annually, at the end of the fiscal year, businesses need to file corporate income tax returns and personal income tax returns using the forms and deadlines stipulated by the tax authorities. Note that the filing deadlines may differ for corporate income tax and personal income tax, so please check the tax authority’s notice or contact PMH for the exact deadlines.
When a business undergoes restructuring (dissolution, split, merger, capital transfer), it is necessary to complete the settlement documents and related tax procedures before finalizing the legal procedures. Prepare a dossier including financial statements, meeting minutes, transfer documents, and related supporting documents to avoid unexpected tax liabilities.
When the tax authorities request a review, audit, or inspection, businesses must provide settlement documents and explanations of income, expenses, and taxes paid. In this case, PMH assists in reviewing, drafting explanatory documents, and coordinating with the tax authorities according to current procedures.
When complex transactions arise (related party transactions, tax incentives, cross-border transactions) — detailed settlement is necessary to ensure your rights and compliance with income tax regulations. In these cases, you should prepare complete supporting documents and contact PMH for advice on the necessary procedures and documentation.

3. Types of taxes that need to be settled.

Corporate Income Tax (CIT) : Corporate income tax settlement focuses on determining taxable income, classifying and verifying deductible expenses, handling carry-forward profits/losses, and applying tax incentives (if the business is eligible for them). Businesses need to be aware of non-deductible expenses to avoid being subject to back taxes during tax audits. When using corporate income tax settlement services, PMH will conduct a detailed review of accounting records and financial statements and propose appropriate adjustments.
Personal Income Tax (PIT) : Personal income tax finalization applies to employees and individuals with taxable income during the year. This includes a summary of taxable income, withholding tax, family allowances, and the process of declaring, paying, or claiming tax refunds as required. For businesses, PIT finalization is closely linked to payroll records, employment contracts, and withholding documents; PMH assists in compiling, verifying documents, and filing to ensure compliance with regulations.
Other taxes (if any): Depending on the industry and business operations, enterprises may need to settle additional taxes such as contractor tax, resource tax, excise tax, or obligations related to cross-border transactions. These taxes often require a review of each specific transaction to ensure that the documentation and evidence are complete in accordance with current regulations.

A quick comparison of corporate income tax and personal income tax (with an illustrative example):

Criteria	Corporate Income Tax	Personal Income Tax
Object	Businesses	Individuals, workers
Settlement section	Taxable income of businesses, deductible expenses, carry-forward profits/losses, incentives.	Total personal income, deductions, withholdings, tax refunds/deductions.
Required documents	Accounting books, invoices, contracts, financial reports	Payroll, employment contract, withholding tax certificate, personal income tax return.
Perform when	At the end of the fiscal year, when the company structure changes.	At the end of the year, when employees request tax refunds.

Note regarding tax incentives: Some businesses are entitled to corporate income tax incentives as stipulated by regulations (e.g., preferential industries, preferential regions). When applying for incentives, businesses must have complete supporting documentation as required and conduct detailed tax settlements for the tax authorities to approve the incentives. If you encounter cases involving foreign elements or related-party transactions, please provide relevant documents so that PMH can provide detailed advice and ensure compliance with current regulations.

4. Job description in tax settlement services

Comprehensive review of tax returns, documents, and accounting records: PMH checks the completeness and validity of invoices and documents; compares data with financial statements to ensure that the settlement documents accurately reflect the income and expenses of the business. This helps to detect compliance risks early and propose timely corrective measures.
Classifying and verifying deductible/non-deductible expenses: reviewing each expense item, determining eligible expenses according to income tax regulations, and classifying expenses according to accounting standards and legal regulations to avoid the risk of tax arrears or penalties.
Reconciling taxable income and handling carry-forward losses/profits: determining the basis for calculating taxable income during the year, preparing an adjustment table to handle carry-forward losses/profits according to regulations in order to accurately calculate the amount of tax payable or the amount to be refunded.
Determining the amount of tax payable/refundable: summarizing the review results to accurately determine the tax obligations for each type (corporate income tax, personal income tax, and other taxes, if any). If there is an overpayment, PMH will prepare a tax refund proposal and provide guidance on related procedures.
Prepare and submit tax return forms, submit tax return electronically: prepare the tax return form, accompanying appendices, and assist in submitting tax return documents through the tax authority’s electronic portal. PMH guides clients on procedures, authorization forms (if needed), and deadlines for submission to ensure compliance with regulations.
Support in explaining and working with tax authorities: if the tax authorities require explanations, additional documents, or conduct an inspection, the PMH team of experts will draft explanatory documents, prepare supplementary files, and represent clients in working with tax authorities within the scope of the contract.

2) Detailed review: compare each document, check the validity of invoices (including electronic invoices), identify invalid expenses, and record necessary adjusting entries (with supporting evidence).

6. The role of internal accounting in businesses

Prepare complete and properly formatted documents, invoices, and records: Internal accountants are responsible for collecting, storing, and reconciling invoices and documents related to revenue and expenses to ensure that settlement records accurately reflect business operations. Storing documents in standard formats (PDF for documents, Excel for statements) helps shorten review time when using settlement services.
Providing personnel and payroll data for personal income tax settlement: Accountants need to compile labor contracts (scanned/PDF), time sheets and payroll records (Excel), allowances, bonuses, and social insurance/health insurance/unemployment insurance deduction documents to accurately determine the taxable income of employees and deduct tax at source.
Preparing documentation for large or related-party transactions: When a business has related-party transactions, large transactions, or applies for tax incentives, internal accountants need to provide contracts, payment records, proof of expense origin, and related documents so that PMH has a basis to prove reasonable expenses and take advantage of legal incentives.
Prompt coordination with service providers: When PMH requests additional documentation, accounting adjustments, or explanations to the tax authorities, internal accountants need to respond promptly (e.g., within 24–48 hours as agreed) to ensure the procedures are completed on time.

Practical example – data that employees need to provide

Employment contract (scanned PDF) — name the file as follows: Hopdong_NguyenVanA.pdf
Timesheet and payroll (Excel) — file clearly showing formulas, allowance columns, and insurance; for example: Bangluong_2024.xlsx
Social insurance/health insurance/unemployment insurance deduction certificates, salary receipts, payment vouchers; allowances and bonuses must have relevant invoices/records.
If there are foreign employees: provide documents proving their employment period in Vietnam, and tax documents from other countries (if any) to process regulations regarding income tax for foreigners.

7. Risks of not filing taxes on time or accurately.

Administrative penalties: Submitting tax returns late or making incorrect declarations can result in penalties, recovery of the underpaid tax amount, and accrued late payment interest. For example, if a business underdeclares 100 million VND, it may be subject to recovery of the corresponding tax amount plus penalties and interest (the specific amount depends on the current regulations of the tax authorities).
Being assessed as high risk: Inaccurate records put the business under regular inspection and audit by the tax authorities — this is time-consuming, disrupts operations, and can lead to additional tax arrears.
Damage to reputation with customers and financial partners: Tax errors affect the ability to borrow capital, negotiate contracts, raise funds, or participate in M&A transactions because partners and banks review tax records when assessing risk.

8. Common administrative penalties (summary)

Behavior	Forms of punishment	Note
Late filing of tax return	Administrative penalties based on a percentage; interest on late payments.	The deadline for submission is as stipulated by the tax authorities; the penalty varies depending on the case.
Providing false or incomplete information	Fines and collection of outstanding taxes.	You need to submit adjustment documents and explanations as required by the tax authorities.
No records stored/no records presented	Administrative penalties, possibly with additional fines.	Retain documents in accordance with accounting regulations; keep records for at least the period required by law.

Action checklist for detecting errors (quick tips)

1) Prepare an internal report clearly stating the issue, the person responsible, and the time of discovery (prepared by: Accountant / Head of Finance Department) — internal processing deadline: within 3 days.
2) Review and collect relevant documents and records; classify the errors to determine the extent of their impact on the amount of tax payable.
3) Contact a tax settlement service provider (e.g., PMH) for advice on handling options, preparing adjustment documents, and submitting explanatory documents to the tax authorities.
4) Submit the adjustment/supplementary declaration and explanatory document as instructed by the tax authority; monitor responses and retain receipts and related documents.

11. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

11.1. How does tax finalization differ from periodic tax filing?

Periodic tax filing involves submitting tax returns and reports on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly) to provisionally calculate tax obligations. Tax finalization is the year-end summary to determine the actual tax liability for the entire year, comparing the amount paid with the amount due and adjusting for any discrepancies. In short: filing is provisional; finalization is the final determination. If there is a discrepancy, the business or individual will have to pay additional taxes or receive a refund according to the tax authority’s regulations.

11.2. Do small businesses have to file tax returns?

Most businesses, including small businesses, are still required to file tax returns according to regulations. Some specific cases (for example, VAT declarations using the lump-sum method or very small household businesses) have their own regulations. For clarity, you should provide basic information about your business model so that PMH can advise you accurately and guide you on the necessary procedures and documentation.

11.3. What happens if errors are discovered after the application is submitted?

When errors are detected, the processing procedure usually includes: (1) Creating an internal record of the error; (2) Reviewing and collecting relevant documents and records; (3) Submitting adjustment/supplementary declaration documents as instructed by the tax authority; (4) Drafting an explanatory document if necessary. PMH assists in drafting adjustment documents, drafting explanatory documents, and representing the company in working with the tax authority during this process to minimize the risk of back taxes and penalties.

11.4. Is it mandatory to use a tax settlement service?

It’s not mandatory — if a business has a team of qualified accountants, they can handle tax filing themselves. However, many businesses choose to use tax filing services to ensure compliance, optimize legitimate income tax, and reduce the risk of back taxes. In complex cases (related party transactions, tax incentives, numerous documents), using a service will save time and costs in the long run.

11.5. How to file personal income tax returns for employees working under contract?

Businesses compile payroll records, employment contracts, withholding certificates, and prepare personal income tax final settlement declarations according to the prescribed form. The documents are submitted through the tax authority’s electronic portal or in person if required. PMH assists in compiling, verifying, and submitting personal income tax final settlement documents, and guides clients in preparing the necessary documents (e.g., scanned contracts in PDF format, payroll records in Excel).

11.6. Does PMH provide support in explaining matters during tax audits?
