Tax & Benefit Insight — Vietnam

Tax rules

Progressive personal income tax, 5% to 35%

If your school pays the landlord directly, housing tax is capped at 15% of gross taxable income. Cash housing allowances are 100% taxable as regular income.

Housing deductibility

A landlord-paid apartment is only taxed up to 15% of your gross taxable salary. Take the same money as cash and every dollar is taxable instead, which is why two identical Vietnam packages can save very different amounts.

2026 personal relief

The 2026 PIT reforms lifted the personal deduction to VND 15.5M/month and the dependent deduction to VND 6.2M/month, so more of the package falls below the tax line than in previous years.
