Implementing policies to support taxpayers suffering losses due to natural disasters

The Tax Department has just sent an official dispatch to the Tax Chiefs of provinces and cities, requesting urgent implementation of measures to support taxpayers suffering losses due to storms and floods after storms.

According to the Tax Department, the recent complicated natural disaster situation has caused great damage to people and property for people and businesses in many localities.

Faced with that reality, implementing the direction of the Government and the Ministry of Finance on supporting the overcoming of natural disaster consequences, the Tax Department requested local tax units to urgently implement support solutions in accordance with regulations.

Accordingly, tax authorities at all levels continue to provide specific guidance on policies, procedures, and documents related to tax extension, exemption, and reduction to help taxpayers quickly overcome difficulties, stabilize their lives, and restore production and business; create the most favorable conditions for taxpayers when implementing procedures for tax exemption, reduction, and extension due to natural disasters.

In cases where taxpayers have submitted complete documents, local tax authorities need to base on the actual situation and legal documents to provide timely guidance and resolution. In cases where documents are not yet available or not yet completed, tax authorities must proactively provide clear guidance on policies, documents and procedures, and coordinate with relevant agencies in handling administrative procedures, providing documents and certificates to determine the extent of damage as requested by affected businesses and individuals.

The Tax Department also requested local tax authorities to strengthen inspection, supervision and strictly handle acts of harassing taxpayers or taking advantage of policies for personal gain; assign focal officers to coordinate, guide and support taxpayers in restoring tax records such as tax declarations, tax exemption and reduction records, tax refund records and tax payment extension records, as well as necessary documents to serve the determination of damages according to regulations. At the same time, promptly and quickly resolve support policies for taxpayers.
