Australia → Vietnam tax position

The chain that matters: visa → days you may stay → tax residence threshold → whether Vietnam reaches worldwide income → whether a work permit makes local employment lawful. ChatGPT can paraphrase a treaty article; it cannot compute your day count against a dated parameter.

Visa → days → tax

1. TRC / stay status sets how long you can remain.
2. Days and habitual abode decide Vietnam tax residence.
3. Working needs a permit or exemption — separate from tax.
4. Relief between the two states runs through the DTA where one exists.

Article-level withholding caps, tie-breaker wording, Superannuation departure rules, Australian CGT deemed disposal, and Age Pension portability require primary AU texts we have not yet filed under expat/nguon/. AustLII/ATO fetches returned 403 from this environment. Until those files exist, the calculator will not invent allocation rates or credits.

Remote work for a foreign employer while living in Vietnam has no dedicated Vietnamese visa symbol. We do not coach workarounds; we show the gap.
