I am a US citizen. I had an offering in Hai Phong that the company pays my monthly salary via a holding bank in Hong Kong. Along with salary, they will provide local health insurance housing and driver etc . I don't want to move to Hai Phong permanently. Currently, we have agreed that I will work in Hai Phong two months and working in the US 1 months... the rotation will continue like this basically every quater. Company will pays for my economy ticket each time. I am totally new so give my ignorance or etiquette. Here are some questions and hoping expat experts can help:
1. With current work schedule stated above, is this mean I am a residence of Vietnam or non-residence. Is there a work around for this residence or non-residence i.e businsess traveling.
2. If I am qualified as residence/non-residence, I am assuming that I will subject to local taxes, right?
3. Follow up with question #2, this mean I can not file for FEIE (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion), correct?
4. If question #3 is correct, is this mean I have to pay double taxes? Any work round this?
6. Any local tax accountant in Hai Phong you can recommend?
Thanks in Advance!
