Gaps in online sales management

With just a computer or phone, and wherever buyers and sellers can make transactions. The convenience is obvious, but this is also an area with many loopholes that need to be strengthened in management.

Since the beginning of the year, the Ha Tinh Tax Department has only collected over 4 billion VND in taxes in the e-commerce sector. Although it has increased 3 times compared to last year, this is still a very modest number compared to the currently bustling online business.

The reason is that the sanctions are not yet complete, the handling of violations encounters many difficulties, especially in determining the identity of online sellers, warehouses, invoices, documents...

Another thing worth mentioning is that for profit, many subjects have used sophisticated tricks to consume fake, counterfeit, and poor quality goods in large quantities, causing difficulties for state management in this field.

In the first 7 months of 2024, the Ha Tinh Market Management Department inspected and handled more than 30 violations in the field of e-commerce; administrative fines of nearly 400 million VND, confiscated and destroyed goods worth over 130 million VND.

Ha Tinh police have also busted many major online trading cases that are complex and have a nationwide scope.

This reality shows that there are many gaps in online business management that urgently need to be filled with a complete legal framework./.
