Departure suspension by electronic means: Inter-sectoral coordination to support taxpayers

On the afternoon of May 12, at the headquarters of the Tax Department, the signing ceremony of the Coordination Regulations on exchanging and providing information on temporary suspension of exit in electronic form between the Tax Department, the Ministry of Finance and the Immigration Department, the Ministry of Public Security took place.

Strengthening tax discipline

In recent years, along with the process of integration and socio -economic development, tax management has achieved many advances in terms of institutions, operations and technology. However, there are still some taxpayers who deliberately delay and avoid their financial obligations to the State. Some cases, after incurring large tax obligations or showing signs of violations, have sought to leave the country to avoid responsibility.

Departure suspension by electronic means: Inter-sectoral coordination to support taxpayers -0 — Electronic suspension of XNC contributes to transparency and prevents budget loss.

Faced with this reality, the requirement is to strengthen tax enforcement measures in a focused, lawful and appropriate manner to the above situation. Accordingly, the Tax sector has proactively reviewed and selected appropriate legal tools to protect financial discipline and ensure revenue for the State budget. In recent years, along with the synchronous implementation of management measures according to the Tax Administration Law No. 38/2019/QH14, Decree No. 49/2025/ND-CP and guiding documents, the Tax sector has promoted the application of temporary exit suspension measures for individual and organizational taxpayers who have not fulfilled their tax obligations and initially recorded many positive results.

To date, tax authorities at all levels have issued 61,492 notices of temporary suspension of exit with tax arrears of VND83,028 billion. Of these, 36,646 taxpayers have abandoned their business addresses with tax arrears of VND13,407 billion. Tax authorities have collected VND4,955 billion from 7,309 taxpayers whose exit is temporarily suspended, including 2,694 taxpayers with VND256 billion from taxpayers who have abandoned their business addresses.

However, in reality, sending temporary exit suspension notices by traditional administrative methods such as paper documents or express delivery, etc. can lead to delays and lack of synchronization in data processing, resulting in unnecessary administrative costs. These factors partly reduce the effectiveness of inter-sectoral coordination, causing difficulties in reviewing and handling tax obligations of organizations and individuals.

Therefore, the requirement is to have a flexible, modern and synchronous coordination mechanism in terms of electronic information technology, so that the implementation of the temporary suspension of exit can truly play its role as an effective, accurate and highly deterrent legal tool in the modern tax management system.

The signing ceremony of the Coordination Regulation between the Tax Department and the Department of Immigration Management that has just taken place is expected to promptly meet that requirement. This is a concrete action of the legal, technical and responsibility coordination mechanism, where data is not just numbers, but a legal basis to ensure strict implementation of tax policies, protect the interests of the State and the legitimate rights of taxpayers in compliance.

The signing ceremony is a clear demonstration of the determination of the two agencies in realizing the goal of building a modern, effective and efficient administrative system. Based on the new coordination regulations, information related to temporary exit suspension measures for organizations and individuals violating tax obligations will be exchanged, verified and processed electronically, contributing to improving the effectiveness of tax debt management, while creating an equal and transparent business environment and preventing budget losses.

Ensuring security, safety and information confidentiality is top priority

Speaking at the ceremony, Lieutenant General Pham Dang Khoa, Director of the Department of Immigration Management, highly appreciated the coordination of the Tax Department in the process of providing information and data to the Public Security sector. The Director of the Department of Immigration Management emphasized that the signing ceremony of the Regulation is a serious achievement of the implementation of Decree No. 49/2025/ND-CP of the Government. At the same time, it demonstrates the strong response to the Government's policy in digital transformation of state management activities. In particular, Lieutenant General Pham Dang Khoa also noted that in the process of operating the electronic system, the highest requirement is to ensure security, safety and confidentiality of information, because this is a priceless asset of the nation.

Director of the Tax Department Mai Xuan Thanh affirmed that after the signing ceremony, the two agencies will promptly implement the content of the Coordination Regulation in exchanging and providing information on temporary exit suspension electronically. Accordingly, the focal units of the Tax Department will continue to closely coordinate with the Immigration Management Department to ensure smooth electronic system connection, timely incident handling and information security in accordance with the law.

“In the coming time, the Tax Department will continue to coordinate with the State Treasury and the Commercial Banking system to transmit and receive tax payment information electronically, in order to shorten the time to confirm the completion of tax obligations, promptly remove the temporary exit suspension order, and create favorable conditions for taxpayers,” the head of the Tax sector added.

The Regulations shall take effect immediately after signing. The signing ceremony of the Coordination Regulations between the Tax Department and the Department of Immigration Management is a concrete step to realize the policy of strengthening inter-sectoral coordination in state management, contributing to perfecting the institutions and improving the effectiveness of tax law and policy enforcement.

Based on the signed regulations, the sharing, processing and use of information on temporary exit suspension will be carried out electronically, creating favorable conditions for management agencies in identifying subjects and applying tax enforcement measures in accordance with the law, promptly and effectively.

The implementation of this model also demonstrates the efforts of the Tax sector and the Public Security force in concretizing the Government's digital transformation orientation, linking the application of information technology with ensuring budget discipline and building an equal and transparent business environment. This is an important foundation for continuing to replicate coordination models between state agencies, building a modern, honest public administration serving the people.
