Commercial late payment fees in Vietnam are based entirely on contractual agreement and the general principles of the Civil Code. Commercial late fees are typically higher and more strictly enforced than in residential leases.
Legal Framework
Overdue Interest
Under the Civil Code 2015:
Contractual Penalty (Article 418)
In commercial contracts, parties may agree on a breach penalty in addition to overdue interest:
- Penalty amount is freely negotiable
- For commercial contracts: maximum 8% of the value of the breached obligation (per the Commercial Law 2005)
Typical Commercial Late Fee Structures
Grace Periods
Consequences of Extended Non-Payment
- Late fees applied — Per lease terms
- Formal breach notice — Official written warning
- Deposit deduction — If the lease permits
- Lease termination — For serious breach (typically 30-90 days in arrears)
- Arbitration/Court — Claim for payment and damages
Best Practices
- Clear terms — Specify exact fees and grace periods
- Timely invoicing — Send invoices and payment reminders on schedule
- Close monitoring — Detect arrears early
- Firm but fair — Consider circumstances but don't allow prolonged overdue
- Document everything — Maintain complete payment records
