Factories, land belonging to redundant factory construction are real estates. Leasing factories, land belonging to factory construction is leasing real estates.
Henceforth, as long as this property satisfies the conditions, which are Real estate allowed to be traded and belonging to an enterprise licensed to trade properties, then it can be rented normally.
Therefore, leasing redundant factories is permitted and must satisfy 2 criteria:
-First, the real estate has to sufficiently satisfy the business conditions according to Article 9, Law on Real Estate Trading No. 66/2014/QH13 dated 25/11/2014.
-Second, it must satisfy the condition of the trader of the real estate.
In addition, it is necessary to consider whether the factory leasing contract of the enterprise has any term bounding re-rental.
Especially, foreign investors who rent factories from lessors with redundant area need to consult solicitors or licensing authorities whether such location is ratified for project execution.
The time limit for land leasing is agreed by both parties based on the demand and capability to satisfy the demand of each party. However, there are some factors determining the lease’s time limit, such as:
-Long-term or short-term usage of the lessees and the capability to satisfy the demand of the lessors.
-The life-span of the construction on the existing land.
-General local planning
-The differences in time limit options when negotiating price policies

In reality, there have been many enterprises could not receive tax refund and their tax reached up to billions of VND.

These are considered severe damages to enterprises in their initial stage of operation.
Therefore, we often consult customers carefully. Especially, customers’ accountants need to understand and meticulously control this matter.
