What a buyer pays in Vietnam
Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 4.8% of the price here. That is below the 10.2% median across the set, which shortens the time it takes for a purchase to break even.
What it earns
We do not publish a price or a rental yield for Vietnam. The public data for this market is limited to index figures that show change over time but no absolute level, and we would rather show nothing than a number we cannot stand behind.
How the tax works. 10% of gross revenue: 5% personal income tax plus 5% deemed VAT. Under art. 20 of the 2025 Personal Income Tax Law a non-resident's business revenue is taxed at flat rates with no threshold; the VND 500 million exemption in art. 7 is for residents. There is real uncertainty: in administrative practice foreign owners often file on the household-business form (01/TTS), to which the threshold does apply, giving 0% at USD 1,000 a month and about 7% at USD 3,000 — hence the 0–10% band. The stored 10% follows the statute. Source: luatvietnam.vn / KPMG.
Who can buy in Vietnam
50-year leasehold (renewable), subject to quota. That is the rule a foreign buyer meets first, not legal advice — check the current position locally before you commit.
