According to economic experts, with the characteristics of being the economic sector closest to the people, covering many diverse industries and fields of operation, the individual business household sector clearly reflects the spirit of autonomy, the aspiration to rise up and legitimately get rich of the Vietnamese people.

Recognizing the increasingly important role and contribution of the household business sector, Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW of the Politburo on private economic development and Resolution No. 198/2025/QH15 on special mechanisms and policies for private economic development were issued, mentioning the conversion of lump-sum tax to declaration method to open up opportunities for household businesses to break through, develop further and affirm their position in the era of rising.

Economic experts say that this conversion may cause businesses to hesitate and worry, but this is an inevitable step in the development process and brings practical benefits to the businesses themselves in terms of development potential and revenue expansion.

According to the Tax Department, declaring and paying taxes based on actual revenue demonstrates transparency in business operations. The Tax Department said that the transition from contracting to declaring is not an additional procedure, but a change in approach and trust. Based on trust, taxpayers self-declare and self-pay taxes based on actual revenue, and the tax authority focuses on the role of supporting, authenticating and ensuring fairness through electronic data.

Current reality shows that the contracting method exposes limitations in fairness and transparency. While businesses have management tools and specialized personnel, many business households are still accustomed to operating based on experience, do not have books, and are still afraid of technology and procedures.

This makes the implementation of support measures by tax authorities such as electronic invoices and electronic tax services not achieve the desired results.

Therefore, the tax industry aims to support business households to access and enjoy policies like enterprises, aiming for transparency and fairness. When recording revenue and expenses in full, business households will clearly understand business efficiency, self-adjust plans, and improve competitiveness.

Every transaction via electronic invoices and payments will create prestige, legal value and opportunities to access capital and new customers - helping business households enter the formal economy and confidently develop.

In addition, declaring and paying taxes based on actual revenue is also the foundation for sustainable development of business households because it is a necessary tool to create a transparent, fair and capacity-based business environment.

Accordingly, when business households proactively declare their actual revenue, the State will have accurate data to develop appropriate credit, insurance, vocational training and support policies, helping households access development resources like businesses.

Along with institutional improvement is the modernization of tax management methods. From here, all revenue activities of business households, instead of being estimated tax levels, will be reflected by data, through the implementation of electronic invoices, electronic revenue books, and online tax declaration and payment tools.

The tax industry is deploying electronic invoices, electronic revenue books, and online tax declaration tools to help businesses pay taxes easily and quickly, with just a few steps on the phone. The tax authority accompanies, supports, and guides enthusiastically, contributing to building a modern, people-friendly administration.

In addition, switching from lump-sum tax to declaration is an opportunity for business households to expand their revenue and develop sustainably. When using electronic invoices and declaring actual revenue, transactions become transparent, helping business households improve their reputation, easily participate in official supply chains and cooperate with large enterprises and organizations.

Transparency in revenue, costs and profits also helps businesses access capital from banks and partners more easily, expanding their business scale.

At the same time, tax declaration encourages business households to form scientific management and accounting habits, proactively invest, increase productivity and develop professionally. Thereby, tax declaration is not only an obligation but also a lever to help business households affirm their position and improve their competitiveness in the digital economy.

According to economic experts, the transition from contracting to declaration is a big step forward in creating a more efficient, transparent and fair economy, encouraging the private economy to develop strongly. When transparency becomes the norm, business households have fair access to opportunities, resources and markets, then revenue and competitiveness will naturally increase.
