On the morning of June 25, the Tax Department ( Ministry of Finance ) held an online conference to train, guide professional skills and information technology systems to meet the requirements of using personal identification numbers instead of tax codes, and deploy tax management according to the 2-level local government model.

Speaking at the opening of the conference, Mr. Mai Son - Deputy Director of the Tax Department - said that from July 1, personal identification numbers will be used as tax codes.

Specifically, Mr. Mai Son said that according to regulations, from July 1, all business households, individual businesses, salaried employees, dependents... will use personal identification numbers instead of tax codes. A person has only one tax code, which is the personal identification number.

"Using personal identification numbers as tax codes will make it more convenient for taxpayers. Taxpayers only need to declare their identification numbers without having to remember their own tax codes when declaring, looking up, paying taxes... Thus, these transactions will be much faster and more convenient.

As for the tax sector, this is an important step in connecting the national population database to help tax authorities have fundamental solutions to promote e -Government and digital transformation in the tax sector," said Mr. Mai Son.

Of those 81 million tax codes, over 65 million have been standardized. The remaining 15 million tax codes have not been verified because the information does not match the citizen identification database. The number of unstandardized tax codes is mainly for taxpayers' dependents.

At the conference, Mr. Mai Son also said that the tax sector will reorganize its apparatus according to the 2-level local government model. Accordingly, local tax agencies will be reorganized from the current 20 regional tax branches into 34 provincial tax units.

In addition to administrative reform in the field of tax and tax policy institutions, the tax authority will coordinate with local authorities to continue to have solutions to nurture revenue sources," said Mr. Mai Son.
