Vietnam's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has proposed unprecedented tax incentives for domestic game developers, including a 90-day trial release period with no revenue requirement and up to six years of corporate and personal income tax exemptions for games incorporating Vietnamese cultural or historical content. The framework formally defines 'Vietnamese games' and requires at least 30% local personnel involvement to qualify.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're a gaming startup in Vietnam or planning to establish one, you can now ship a game for 90 days with zero regulatory friction and no revenue requirement to test product-market fit. Six years of tax exemption on both corporate and employee income follows if your game incorporates Vietnamese culture — that's real money back into product development.
