Our legal advice:

If the company does not conduct conditional business lines, the company can operate its business after it is established and have its seal. However, the company also needs to carry out procedures relating to tax to comply with the law and to avoid being sanctioned administratively.

After the company is established, the company should carry out the following activities:

• Declaring and paying business license fee
• Declaring value-added tax, corporate income tax, and personal income tax
• Notifying the issuance of electronic invoice
• Selecting an accounting regime, and a method of the depreciation of fixed assets
