These reports are generally submitted to licensing authorities (i.e. Department of Planning and Investment or the board of management of an industrial zone/export processing zone/economic zone/hi-tech zone), as well as the Statistical Office of the city/province where the company is located.
As the legally permissible business lines for ROs differ from foreign-owned entities (FOEs), namely that ROs are not allowed to directly conduct profit-generated business activities, therefore the annual reporting requirements are different for ROs as well.
