Reporting on e-commerce tax collection and digital transformation in the first 4 months of the year, the Tax Department ( Ministry of Finance ) said that so far, 153 foreign suppliers including Facebook (Meta), Google, TikTok, Microsoft... have declared and paid taxes through the Tax Department's electronic information portal. Notably, the tax revenue in the first 4 months of this year reached 5,100 billion VND, an increase of 93.6% over the same period.

To specialize in tax management for foreign suppliers, the E-commerce Tax Department under the Tax Department has just announced that from May 19, the tax authority directly managing foreign suppliers will be the E-commerce Tax Department, instead of the Large Enterprise Tax Department as before.

When exchanging procedures related to registration, declaration, tax payment and information of taxpayers, foreign suppliers will continue to be carried out as before, through the Electronic Information Portal for Foreign Suppliers (https://etaxvn.gdt.gov.vn/nccnn/).

At the same time, for any problems in the process of performing tax obligations in Vietnam, foreign suppliers should contact the E-commerce Tax Department for timely guidance and support.

To serve the task of transferring tax management for foreign suppliers from the Large Enterprise Tax Department to the E-commerce Tax Department, the Electronic Information Portal for Foreign Suppliers (https://etaxvn.gdt.gov.vn/nccnn/) will temporarily stop operating from 6:00 p.m. on May 16 to 0:00 a.m. on May 18 to upgrade and convert the system.

This adjustment of the tax administration agency aims to quickly adapt to the strong development of the digital economy and cross-border e-commerce and is an important step in the roadmap to modernize the tax sector, targeting domestic and cross-border taxpayers.

The tax authority expects to increase tax administration specialization for specific groups of subjects, while improving the quality of support, ensuring transparency and efficiency in tax declaration and payment of cross-border enterprises.
