Organizational chart of the Tax sector from July 1, 2025

According to the Tax sector leader, the new organizational model requires urgent innovation from thinking to action. Accordingly, units must proactively arrange facilities and handle excess assets before August 1, 2025, to avoid waste.

At the same time, the Business Departments and Digital Transformation Departments are accelerating the implementation of projects to redesign business processes, restructure IT systems, and upgrade electronic tax services to suit new characteristics.

The industry is also aiming for a fundamental shift from "management" to "service". Tax officials are required to change their mindset, approach taxpayers as partners, always listen, support, and promptly answer any questions.

In particular, with the spread of management areas, modern technology is an essential support. The application of Big Data and AI in risk management, data analysis, and internal operations is a mandatory direction to improve the operational capacity of the apparatus.

Informing the local tax leaders, Director Mai Xuan Thanh noted that the workload in the coming time is very large. To fully complete the tasks assigned by the Government and the Ministry of Finance, it requires the participation of all cadres, civil servants and employees in the tax sector. Therefore, all cadres and civil servants in the sector need to promote the spirit of solidarity, responsibility, unanimously support and assist the newly appointed leaders at all levels to successfully complete the assigned tasks.
