Beware of personal information being used to illegally register a business

According to the Tax Department of Region XIII, recently, the unit has received reports of a number of people being unexpectedly suspended from leaving the country due to the reason that they are the legal representatives of enterprises that are being forced to execute administrative decisions on tax management or have not fulfilled their tax obligations. It is worth mentioning that they are completely unaware that they are the ones who established the enterprise.

Through investigation, these cases stem from people having their personal information such as identity cards, citizen identification cards or passports used to register businesses without the knowledge or consent of the information subject. As a result, people face many unexpected legal troubles.

Faced with the above situation, the Ministry of Finance has issued Official Letter 6053/BTC-TCT to the Departments of Finance of provinces and centrally run cities, requesting the strengthening of state management of business registration activities. The Ministry of Finance requests that the Departments of Finance closely coordinate with specialized management agencies in the area in sharing and cross-checking information to promptly detect and strictly handle violations of the law in business registration activities.

The Tax Department of Region XIII recommends that, in order to protect themselves, each person needs to regularly check and monitor personal information on official data systems. In case of detecting personal information being used illegally, people need to quickly contact the police for support and handling in accordance with legal regulations.
