The Department of Taxation under the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance officially released the White Book on Vietnam Taxation 2026 on May 12, offering a comprehensive overview of the country’s tax policies and administration, while outlining key achievements, ongoing challenges, and reform priorities for the years ahead.
According to the White Book, the tax sector’s development strategy for 2026–2030 will focus on four main pillars. The first is improving tax institutions and policies to ensure greater consistency, transparency, and alignment with international standards, while adapting to the rapid growth of the digital economy, e-commerce, and cross-border transactions.
The second pillar emphasizes accelerating digital transformation and simplifying administrative procedures to reduce compliance costs for businesses and individuals, while increasing automation in tax management. Third, authorities aim to place taxpayers at the center of reform efforts by enhancing support services and improving the overall tax compliance experience. The final priority is strengthening data-driven governance, expanding risk management capabilities, and intensifying efforts to combat tax evasion, transfer pricing, and fraud.
Alongside the White Book’s launch, the tax authority also introduced new technology solutions, including artificial intelligence tools to assist household businesses with tax declarations and biometric verification systems to enhance security for electronic invoice registration.
Officials said the simultaneous rollout of the White Book and new digital solutions underscores Vietnam’s commitment to modernizing tax administration, improving efficiency, and delivering more transparent, secure, and taxpayer-friendly services.
