Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department introduces online tax filing (e-Tax) system
The Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department announced that it will introduce an electronic tax filing system (e-Tax) from February 10. The purpose of the e-tax system is to make it easier for taxpayers to file tax returns, and to facilitate payments and refunds.
Advantages of introducing e-Tax in Ho Chi Minh City
The operation of the e-tax system will stop the current online tax filing system from February 7th to 9th. According to government officials, the tax filing system will be unified with the introduction of the new e-Tax system, although there are currently multiple filing systems in place. It is said that taxpayers only need to use a single system to complete all tax filings and facilitate filing and management. The e-Tax system is also useful for searching tax records and various fees related to taxes.
Online tax filing and settlement of taxes is a Vietnamese government goal
According to the State Bank of Vietnam, facilitating online payment of tax collection is an important goal of government. Especially for customs, online settlement has led to improved administrative services. In the past, it took a couple of days from tax declaration to tax payment, but now, after the tax payment, each company receives imported goods.
