Client

Global Freight Co.

Challenge

Navigating the complex incorporation process for a logistics business in Vietnam, while ensuring tax efficiency.

Strategy & approach

Solution

ECOVIS provided comprehensive legal and tax advisory services, fast-tracking the incorporation process while securing tax incentives.

Result

The company successfully launched operations in Vietnam, fully compliant with both legal and tax regulations.

Setting up a logistics entity in Vietnam involves more regulatory touchpoints than most companies anticipate — customs registration, import licensing, labor compliance, and tax structuring all run in parallel. ECOVIS Vietnam Law managed the sequencing precisely. We launched on time, fully compliant, and with tax incentives already in place.
