Currently, the software industry is one of the most subsidized sectors in Vietnam. It is eligible to enjoy privileges including tax and investment incentives, an exemption from VAT and tariff for imported materials which are directly used for the software production, etc. To illustrate, businesses involved in software production and services are exempt from income tax for 4 years no matter they are local or foreign invested ones.
