"Can household businesses in Vietnam move their headquarters to another province or city?"
In Vietnam, can household businesses move their headquarters to another province or city?
Pursuant to Clause 4, Article 90 of Decree No. 01/2021/ND-CP stipulating the registration of changes in business household registration contents as follows:
- In case a household business is relocated to another district, the household business must send an application for relocation to the business registration authority of the district to which it is relocated. The application must include copies of the following documents:
a) The notification of changes to household business registration information which bears the signature of the owner of the household business;
b) The copy of the minutes of meeting of family household members on relocation of the household business if the household business is established by family household members;
c) Copies of legal documents of the owner of the household business or family household members applying for household business registration.
Thus, a business household has the right to change its head office to a district, town, or city in another province where the business household has registered. You need to send a notice of change of address to the business registration office of the district where the new head office is planned.
Can I register a business household address without a house number?
Pursuant to Article 86 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP stipulating the business locations of business households as follows:
The business location of a household business is the place where specific business operations are carried out.
A household business may carry out business operations at multiple locations but must select a location as its headquarters and notify it to tax authorities and market surveillance authorities at places of other business locations.
Accordingly, a business household can operate at many locations. In case the location where you place your business location does not have a street name and house number, you should contact the People's Committee of the commune or district to confirm it is the address where you plan to set up your business location for your household. The business does not have a house number. Therefore, the address of that business location may be recorded according to the following information: (i) Quarter/Group/Village/Ham/Town, (ii) Commune/Ward/Town, (iii) District /District/Town/Provincial city, (iv) Province/City. Thus, you can still set up the business location of the household business at an address that does not have a house number.
Best regards!
