Electronic tax system back in operation as planned

The Department of Technology, Digital Transformation and Automation (Department of Taxation) said that from 8:00 a.m. on March 17, 2025, the entire electronic tax system, after a temporary suspension (from 5:00 p.m. on March 12 to 8:00 a.m. on March 17, 2025) to serve the upgrading and conversion of tax authority categories, has officially resumed operations.

The successful transformation and smooth, efficient operation of the system facilitate tax management and taxpayer services. At the same time, the return of the electronic tax system to operation as planned is expected to actively support administrative reform, promote digital transformation in the financial and tax sector, and create favorable conditions for taxpayers to fulfill their financial obligations quickly and transparently in the digital environment.

Previously, the Tax Department issued Notice No. 41/TB-CT dated March 12, 2024 on the suspension of electronic tax systems to serve the upgrading to meet the restructuring and arrangement of tax agencies.

The Tax Department said that the suspension of electronic tax systems for upgrading and conversion is in accordance with the general plan of the Government and the Ministry of Finance after a period of restructuring and rearranging the state apparatus. Accordingly, the current organizational structure of the Tax Department is implementing a model of 20 regional Tax Branches and 350 district-level Tax Teams (replacing the 63 Tax Departments and affiliated Tax Branches previously).

Director of the Tax Department Mai Xuan Thanh emphasized that units in the entire tax sector must pay special attention to data conversion and tax management applications to ensure absolute safety, and are determined that immediately after the conversion, operations will be deployed smoothly to serve people and businesses conducting transactions in the electronic tax environment.
