From July 1, businesses are required to use electronic identification accounts to pay taxes.

From July 1, 2025, the policy of using personal identification numbers to replace tax codes officially takes effect nationwide according to Circular No. 86/2024/TT-BTC dated December 23, 2024 of the Ministry of Finance. This is a major step forward in administrative reform, modernizing tax management, and is also a highlight in the national digital transformation process. In Quang Ninh, the Tax Department of Region III has proactively deployed many synchronous solutions to facilitate people, business households and enterprises in updating and converting tax information.

The Tax Department of Region III in Quang Ninh propagates and guides taxpayers to perform electronic identification and standardize information on the Electronic Tax system.

:According to Clause 4, Article 40 of Decree No. 69/2024/ND-CP dated June 25, 2024 of the Government regulating electronic identification and authentication, it is stipulated that: “Accounts created by the National Public Service Portal, the administrative procedure settlement information system (TTHC) at the ministerial and provincial levels granted to agencies, organizations and individuals shall be used until June 30, 2025”; Clause 2, Article 38 of Circular No. 86/2024/TT-BTC dated December 23, 2024 of the Ministry of Finance regulating tax registration, it is stipulated that: “From July 1, 2025, taxpayers, tax authorities, other agencies, organizations and individuals related to the use of tax codes as prescribed in Article 35 of the Law on Tax Administration shall use personal identification numbers instead of tax codes”.

In order to synchronize tax data with the national population database, in recent times, the Tax Department of Region III in Quang Ninh has closely followed the direction of the Tax Department, the Tax Department, coordinated with the police and relevant agencies to regularly disseminate, guide and support agencies, enterprises, organizations and individuals in implementing electronic identification accounts; at the same time, regularly directed tax departments and teams, especially civil servants to monitor and manage agencies, enterprises, organizations and individuals to guide and support in resolving difficulties and problems of taxpayers in implementing electronic identification.

Through tax agents, many businesses have quickly identified their tax codes early. Ms. Le Thi Thu, Director of ATC Vietnam Accounting and Tax Agent Company Limited, Quang Ninh Branch, said: We have also proactively registered for electronic identification early according to the instructions of the tax authorities. The implementation process is quite convenient, only need to use the chip-embedded citizen identification card to verify the information. After completion, electronic tax declaration and payment becomes faster and more secure.

Starting from July 1, 2025, accounts that organizations and enterprises have registered on the National Public Service Portal, the information system for handling administrative procedures at the ministerial and provincial levels issued to enterprises will no longer be used. Instead, they will start using electronic identification accounts on VNeID to access the National Public Service Portal, the information system for handling administrative procedures at all levels to handle administrative procedures according to regulations. Therefore, people need to proactively check the status of their tax codes, especially those who have changed personal information, changed their ID cards to citizen identification cards, or had many different tax codes before. If they do not comply on time, enterprises will not be able to access the system, directly affecting tax declaration, payment and other electronic transactions.

Enterprises register for electronic identification accounts to serve tax declaration and transactions.

Mr. Trinh Xuan Dao, Director of A&T Quang Ninh Tax Agency Service Co., Ltd. said: I think this is a correct and necessary policy. Using electronic identification accounts will help synchronize data, reduce confusion, ensure taxpayers' rights and limit risks in transactions. At the same time, businesses will also feel more secure when information is clearly and transparently verified; thereby, contributing to strengthening discipline in the tax sector, creating a healthy and fair business environment among economic sectors.

To date, Quang Ninh province has more than 43,500 active taxpayers, of which 77.85% have standardized information with the National Population Database. In particular, over 91% of businesses have completed the update.

Currently, the Tax Department is reviewing and standardizing all data related to the implementation of tax obligations of individuals to ensure that the transition to using personal identification numbers is carried out smoothly and on schedule. At the same time, taxpayers also need to closely monitor notifications from the Tax Department to update information promptly. The application of electronic identification accounts is not only a mandatory requirement according to legal regulations, but also an inevitable trend in the process of building a modern, transparent and effective digital financial system. This is also the basis for the Tax Department to better serve people and businesses in the digital age.
