At a recent press conference on the socio -economic situation in Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Nguyen Hoa Bac, Head of the Personal Tax, Business Household and Other Revenues Department, Tax Department Region II, said that the situation of some business households refusing to transfer money and only accepting cash when providing goods and services still exists.
While the Government and industries are actively promoting cashless payments, this behavior goes against the general trend.
According to Mr. Bac, refusing to accept cashless payments not only reduces the competitiveness of business households but also demonstrates a lack of transparency in business operations, causing difficulties for management by state agencies.
He affirmed that business households that are required to issue electronic invoices from cash registers according to Decree 70, if they do not do so, or do not declare and pay taxes fully according to actual revenue, will be considered to be in violation of the law.
The above behavior is determined as tax evasion and will be subject to a penalty of 1 to 3 times the tax amount, depending on the severity of the violation.
"In cases where the amount of tax evasion is 100 million VND or more, the violator may be prosecuted under Article 200 of the 2015 Penal Code," said a representative of the Tax Department of Region II.
Mr. Bac added that the tax authority is implementing many measures to strengthen the management of business households. Regarding business households that only accept cash and do not accept transfers, the tax authority has issued a document directing local tax teams to review, inspect and strictly handle according to tax law.
It is estimated that Ho Chi Minh City has about 200,000 business households, not including rental households. Of these, there are about 13,000 business households with revenue of over 1 billion VND/year belonging to 6 business groups as prescribed in Decree 70. These households must use electronic invoices generated from cash registers, connected and transferring data directly to tax authorities.
Recently, there has been a phenomenon of many restaurants and grocery stores only accepting cash payments, not accepting bank transfers. Some business owners even ask customers not to clearly state the transfer content related to the transaction to avoid being detected by tax authorities.
