Comprehensive reforms to support taxpayers.

Previously, at the Conference summarizing the first six months of the year and outlining tasks for the last six months, Deputy Minister of Finance Cao Anh Tuan emphasized the need for comprehensive tax management reform, considering the amendment of the Tax Administration Law as a central focus. The tax sector also coordinated the development of the Personal Income Tax Law, the Corporate Income Tax Decree, and policies for household businesses and micro-enterprises in accordance with Resolution 68.

The Deputy Minister called on the entire sector to strive for excellence in fulfilling its tasks, increasing budget revenue and serving the people and businesses, maintaining discipline, and simultaneously innovating strongly.

According to the Director of the Tax Department, Mai Xuan Thanh, the tax sector has set nine key tasks. These include striving to exceed budget revenue targets, implementing a three-tiered tax model, developing a new Tax Administration Law and participating in the amendment of related laws, completing the information technology system to be operational from October 2026, and implementing Resolution 68. The tax sector leadership is also applying a mechanism to evaluate civil servants based on taxpayer feedback, cutting 45% of administrative procedures, innovating budget forecasting, and building four foundations: leadership guidance, commitment to supporting taxpayers, inter-agency coordination, and enhancing internal capacity.

Simultaneously, it was emphasized that tax authorities must be units serving the people. Officials who receive low ratings will be retrained to standardize skills and improve capabilities. The tax sector is also strengthening coordination with the police, immigration authorities, the Ministry of Finance, and other departments to implement Project 06, developing AI, chatbots, and virtual assistants to serve taxpayers.
