This could help shorten time to complete customs procedures for import-export activities to the average level of ASEAN-4 countries following the Government’s instructions.
Enterprises can access the website https://epayment.customs.gov.vn/epaymentportal/login to pay tax.
Firms only need certificate authority (CA) to transfer money and authorise banks to pay taxes through their accounts without fees.
Banks participating in e-tax payment are required to upgrade their e-payment portal.
Previously, the e-tax payment agreement was signed with five banks - Vietcombank, VietinBank, BIDV, MB and Techcombank - on October 23.
So far, about 1,500 successful transactions have been processed through the website with a tax payment of VND200 billion (US$8.8 million).
