In the context where Vietnam is promoting the attraction of large-scale, high-technology and high value-added projects, the legal framework on investment has undergone important adjustments to enhance the effectiveness of incentive policies. In particular, the expansion of beneficiaries eligible for special investment incentives and support is creating many new opportunities for strategic investors.
However, special incentive policies are often accompanied by strict conditions and complex legal requirements. Without a clear understanding of the regulations, enterprises may encounter difficulties in accessing incentives or fail to optimize investment benefits.
With in-depth consulting experience in the investment sector, DNP Viet Nam Law Firm recognizes that correctly understanding and properly implementing regulations on special investment incentives is a key factor enabling enterprises to fully take advantage of State policies. The article below will provide a detailed analysis of new points relating to beneficiaries eligible for special investment incentives and support under current regulations.
1. Legal basis for special investment incentives and support
According to the Law on Investment 2020 (as amended and supplemented in 2025), the State has expanded the scope of projects eligible for special investment incentives and support. Clause 3, Article 16 clearly stipulates criteria on capital scale, investment sector, and the level of socio-economic impact of the project.
This amendment reflects the orientation to attract high-quality investment projects, particularly in advanced technology sectors and strategic infrastructure. At the same time, the policy also aims to improve the efficiency of resource utilization and promote sustainable economic growth.
In practice, regulations on special investment incentives are often applied to large-scale projects with high technological requirements. Therefore, enterprises need to carefully study the legal basis to ensure full compliance with conditions before implementing projects.
2. Beneficiaries eligible for special investment incentives
One notable point is the addition of multiple categories of projects eligible for special investment incentives. Specifically, projects with a total investment capital of VND 3,000 billion or more and with disbursement carried out promptly according to the prescribed schedule will fall within the group considered for incentives.
In addition, projects in high technology, strategic technology, and digital infrastructure sectors such as large-scale data centers, cloud computing, 5G networks, and artificial intelligence are also prioritized. These are sectors playing an important role in digital transformation and the development of the digital economy in Vietnam.
Moreover, projects manufacturing key high-tech products, research and development (R&D) projects, as well as projects having significant spillover effects on value chains and national competitiveness may also be eligible for special incentives. This creates great opportunities for investors with strong financial and technological capabilities.
3. Significance of expanding beneficiaries of special investment incentives
The expansion of beneficiaries eligible for special investment incentives brings many important implications for the economy. First, this policy helps attract large-scale and high-technology projects, thereby promoting innovation and improving labor productivity.
In addition, focusing incentives on strategic sectors also contributes to the formation of a modern technological and industrial ecosystem. This helps Vietnam gradually participate more deeply in the global value chain and enhance its international competitiveness.
For enterprises, access to special incentives not only reduces investment costs but also creates favorable conditions to expand scale and improve operational efficiency. This is an important factor for sustainable long-term development.
4. What should enterprises prepare to access special incentives?
To be entitled to special investment incentives, enterprises need to develop a clear investment plan and meet criteria on capital scale, disbursement schedule, and investment sector. Detailed planning will help enterprises be proactive in project implementation.
Next, enterprises need to correctly identify priority sectors and demonstrate the alignment of their projects with the Stateβs development orientation. This includes clarifying technological factors, economic impact, and spillover capacity of the project.
In addition, the preparation of complete legal dossiers and assessment of legal risks is indispensable. In practice, many projects fail to obtain incentives due to insufficient documentation or failure to fully meet prescribed conditions.
5. Legal notes when implementing projects enjoying special investment incentives
During implementation, enterprises must closely monitor legal obligations and conditions for maintaining incentives. Non-compliance may lead to revocation of incentives or the emergence of serious legal risks.
In addition, enterprises should regularly update relevant legal policies to ensure that investment activities comply with current regulations. This is particularly important in the context of continuously evolving laws.
Finally, coordination with professional legal advisory units will help enterprises minimize risks and optimize investment efficiency. Support from experts will enable enterprises to handle legal issues accurately and promptly.
6. Conclusion
The supplementation of beneficiaries eligible for special investment incentives and support under the new regulations is not only an opportunity but also a challenge for enterprises in meeting legal criteria and effectively implementing projects. To fully take advantage of these policies, enterprises need thorough preparation and a clear strategy.
