According to the Department of Taxation - Ministry of Finance , tax authorities at all levels have been reviewing and collecting information and data on taxpayers doing e-commerce business and business on digital platforms to serve tax management.
The tax sector coordinates with relevant agencies to handle many cases of tax evasion and trading of counterfeit and poor quality goods related to e-commerce business on digital platforms.
In the first four months of the year, tax revenue from organizations and individuals engaged in e-commerce business activities reached 42,600 billion VND. (Screenshot of a livestream sales session that went viral).
However, according to the Tax Department, in addition to businesses, business households, and business individuals who strictly comply with tax laws, there are still some who have not registered their businesses, registered for taxes, declared insufficient revenue, and have not fully fulfilled their tax obligations from business activities on e-commerce and digital platforms.
In a recent open letter to taxpayers, the tax authority recommends that business owners, legal representatives of enterprises; representatives of business households, individuals doing e-commerce business, and business on digital platforms proactively approach and learn about tax laws and comply with tax registration, tax declaration, and tax payment as prescribed.
Individuals who have been doing e-commerce business or doing business on digital platforms but have not yet registered for tax need to urgently register, declare and pay taxes fully, on time and promptly to the tax authorities.
In case of not receiving cooperation from taxpayers, the tax sector will inspect and strictly handle business activities that do not perform or do not fully perform tax obligations as prescribed.
In cases of intentional non-compliance, the tax authority will consolidate the records and transfer them to the competent authority to investigate and handle tax evasion in accordance with the provisions of law.
According to the Tax Department, in the first four months of the year, tax revenue from organizations and individuals engaged in e-commerce business activities reached VND42,600 billion, an increase of 10.4% over the same period in 2024.
From April 1, e-commerce platforms will be responsible for deducting and paying taxes on behalf of individuals and business households on online business platforms. This is a provision in the Law on Tax Administration (amended) approved by the National Assembly .
Data from the data analysis platform Metric.vn shows that in the first quarter, the total revenue of the entire Vietnamese e-commerce market reached more than 101,000 billion VND, an increase of 42.29% over the same period in 2024. The output of consumed goods reached 950.7 million products, an increase of 24% over the same period last year.
78 sellers have sales of over 50 billion VND, nearly double the number compared to the first quarter of 2024. More than 1,000 online stores have sales of over 10 billion VND. This reflects a clear differentiation in the market, with small retailers gradually withdrawing, leaving the playing field to large retailers.
The market share of major e-commerce platforms also recorded changes. TikTok Shop increased sales by 113%, increasing its market share from 23% to 35%. Shopee grew by more than 29%, accounting for 62% of the market share. Meanwhile, Lazada and Tiki lost 43.5% and 66.6% of their sales compared to the same period last year, respectively.
