We will resolutely deal with officials who abet the buying and selling of invoices and tax evasion.

The Tax Department has recently sent a document to the heads of departments and units under the Tax Department, and the heads of provincial and city tax offices, regarding strengthening the management of officials and civil servants in the performance of their duties.

Accordingly, in recent times, in some localities such as Da Nang, An Giang , Quang Ninh, Thai Nguyen, etc., a number of businesses and individuals have taken advantage of the lenient policies that facilitate production and business development to engage in illegal trading of invoices, fraud, tax evasion, and tax refund fraud. Among these cases, some involved the complicity of tax officials.

In light of the above situation, the Head of the Tax Department calls on all officials, civil servants, and employees throughout the tax sector to absolutely not be negligent or complacent in tax management, and especially to absolutely not abet or participate in the establishment of "ghost" companies to carry out or abet the illegal buying and selling of invoices, tax evasion, and illegal tax refunds.

For heads of tax agencies at all levels, the Tax Department requests that they strengthen leadership, direction, inspection, and close supervision of subordinate departments assigned the task of tax management and direct communication with businesses and taxpayers to promptly detect, prevent, and correct any violations of the law and regulations of the tax sector.

The Tax Department requires units to strengthen internal inspections and reviews, and to publicly update their hotline numbers to receive feedback on negative practices.

The Tax Department stated that it will coordinate with relevant agencies and authorities to strictly handle collectives and individuals; clarifying the responsibility of the head and deputy head of the department where officials and civil servants intentionally violate regulations.
