[Chapter 3] Constant Legal Changes – Japanese companies struggle to adapt as hidden risks grow

Date: 2025.07.07

📍 Introduction

In Vietnam, the legal system—especially in labor, social insurance, and accounting—is constantly evolving.

Japanese companies often fail to keep up, leading to unintended violations, penalties, or loss of credibility with staff and business partners.

1. Laws change frequently, with unclear implementation guidance

・Frequent updates in labor law, insurance, personal income tax, invoicing, etc.

・New decrees and circulars are issued, but lack unified enforcement guidelines

・Foreign businesses face language barriers and difficulty understanding local rules

Example: Confusion over Decree 123 on e-invoicing or unemployment insurance for foreigners due to inconsistent interpretations

2. Lack of dedicated staff for legal, HR, or accounting updates

⚠️ Many companies have just one person handling both HR and bookkeeping, making it hard to track legal changes

⚠️ Relying on external consultants is costly and often slow

⚠️ Late updates can lead to fines or financial loss, such as delayed social insurance reporting, labor compliance violations, investment reports, ect.

3. Legal risks don’t disappear just because you’re unaware

・A single error in a labor contract can spark disputes

・Failing to update procedures may breach tax laws or cause loss of FDI incentives

・Mistakes in bookkeeping can compromise your financial reports and audits

※ Note: Most risks aren’t visible immediately—but can “explode” during inspections, audits, or employee disputes.
