Mr. Nguyen Trong Viet Hai, Deputy Head of the Tax Department of Region VIII said: “Immediately after completing the organizational structure, the Department directed the specialized departments and affiliated units to immediately get to work, deploying tax management according to the new model, not allowing taxpayers' transactions to be interrupted; requiring each tax officer to uphold the sense of responsibility, proactively adapt to changes, promote capacity, and properly perform assigned roles and tasks”.

To ensure the stable operation of the electronic tax system, the Tax sector has upgraded and converted categories on applications and software including the e-commerce portal; e-portal for households and individuals doing e-commerce and business on digital platforms; e-tax application (eTax); e-tax application for individuals (iCanhan); eTax Mobile application; information portal system serving information exchange with external units and organizations (GIP/T2B).

By March 17, the electronic tax system had completed the upgrade and was operating stably under the new management model, meeting the needs of tax procedures for people and businesses, ensuring convenience and efficiency.

Head of the Vinh Yen City Tax Team Pham Thanh Tu said: “After operating under the new model, the functions and tasks of the specialized units are basically the same but are arranged and streamlined to be more efficient. Each focal point is assigned to perform many tasks, one task is assigned to one focal point to preside over and take primary responsibility; the tasks between the focal points are clearly defined, ensuring no overlap, duplication, or omission of tasks.”

At the District Tax Teams, there are still departments to receive documents and return results. Professional staff from the teams are responsible for guiding, answering questions, supporting, and creating favorable conditions for taxpayers to fulfill their obligations to the State budget.

With the spirit of urgency and high determination of the tax sector in arranging and reorganizing the apparatus towards streamlining, effectiveness and efficiency, the settlement of tax procedures in the province is ensured to be stable and effective, contributing to improving the efficiency of exploiting and managing revenue sources and preventing budget losses.
