Procedures for Expanding Business Locations and Key Notes on Tax Registration

As a business grows, expanding with new branches or locations is an inevitable step. However, many business owners often find themselves confused between concepts such as branches, representative offices, or business locations. Choosing the wrong form can lead to legal complications and unnecessary tax burdens.

Each form of expansion has distinct functions serving the business’s goals. A branch can directly conduct business and issue invoices, while a representative office is only allowed to perform transaction and marketing functions. Establishing a branch, representative office, or business location correctly will help you manage your system more effectively.

The process begins with preparing registration documents at the Department of Planning and Investment. You need to prepare papers such as the appointment decision for the head of the unit, the location lease agreement, and the meeting minutes of the Board of Members. Professional support in document preparation and procedural representation will help you significantly shorten the waiting time.

A crucial part that many businesses overlook is tax obligations. When opening an additional business location, you must notify the directly managing tax authority within the prescribed time limit. In particular, businesses need to pay attention to the payment of license fees (licence tax) and the method of value-added tax declaration for these dependent units.

Core Steps When Expanding Business Facilities

• Identify the appropriate operating model (independent or dependent accounting branch).
• Complete the legal dossier and submit it to the provincial business registration authority.
• Carry out post-licensing procedures such as making a seal (if necessary) and tax notification.
