5 things taxpayers must remember to avoid falling into scam traps

According to the Tax Department, bad guys impersonate tax authorities and ask organizations, businesses, and business households to update information according to the 2-level local government model to commit fraud.

Therefore, to avoid fraud, the Tax Department recommends that taxpayers pay attention to the following 5 issues:

Do not submit your Citizen Identification Card, Business Registration Certificate, or Tax Registration Certificate to anyone to avoid acts of impersonating tax authorities via phone, email, or text messages to defraud or profit.

Based on the updated tax registration database, the tax authority will send a notice to organizations, enterprises, and business households about the updated address of the taxpayer according to the new administrative area and information of the directly managing tax authority.

Taxpayers should be vigilant and not follow instructions from unofficial sources.

In case taxpayers need to update their address according to new administrative boundaries on the Business Registration Certificate, they should contact the business registration authority for instructions according to regulations.

Finally, when having any problems, taxpayers can contact the hotline of the directly managing tax authority or the phone numbers and emails of tax support officers listed on the Tax Department's Electronic Information Portal to receive guidance and support on tax policies during the process of arranging according to the 2-level local government model.

In addition, tax authorities at all levels have implemented many solutions to support taxpayers in updating new administrative boundaries. Specifically, local tax authorities directly notify taxpayers of new addresses and tax authority management information via electronic tax accounts and eTax Mobile application.

The notice from the tax authority is the basis for the taxpayer to explain to the relevant authority or customer in case the invoice shows a new address but the Business Registration Certificate still shows the old address.

The tax authority in coordination with the business registration authority agrees not to require taxpayers to update their business registration address according to the new administrative boundary.

At the same time, the tax authority also works closely with solution providers to upgrade e-invoice software to suit the new administrative boundaries, ensuring that taxpayers' e-invoice issuance is smooth and does not disrupt business operations.
