Vietnam’s tax sector will speed up digital transformation, the application of e-invoices, and the strengthening of taxes relating to e-commerce activities to prevent any tax risks, according to Deputy Director of the General Department of Taxation Dang Ngoc Minh.

Speaking at a recent conference in northern Quang Ninh province on information technology (IT) in the tax sector, he said IT has been widely applied in tax activities, from expanding the implementation of e-invoices from cash registers to conducting e-tax payment services via eTax Mobile, an e-electronic tax application for mobile devices.

The department also launched a web portal for foreign providers of e-commerce services.

In order to successfully and effectively boost IT application in the future, the tax sector will focus on accelerating the implementation of e-invoices nationwide, particularly those from cash registers; maintain e-tax payment services; and implement IT solutions to ensure tax management over e-commerce activities and other services from both domestic and foreign providers.
