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.

Late Interest
Per Lease Terms

Legal Framework

Overdue Interest

Under the Civil Code 2015:

ScenarioApplicable Rate

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)
