E-tax system resumes full operations after temporary suspension
Vietnam’s electronic tax system has resumed full operations starting at 8am on March 17, after a temporary suspension for system upgrades and data restructuring, the tax authority announced.
The suspension, which lasted from 5pm on March 12 until 8am on March 17, was necessary to enhance tax management and implement structural changes.
During this period, certain services such as electronic tax payment (eTax), eTax Mobile and tax applications for individuals were temporarily halted, while other functions remained accessible.
Foreign businesses operating in Vietnam can now fully access the e-portal for foreign suppliers, which remained operational but may have experienced minor delays in processing transactions during the upgrade.
Director of the Department of Taxation Mai Xuan Thanh instructed tax departments to ensure secure data migration and a smooth transition, allowing businesses and individuals to resume using the e-tax system without disruption.
Flexible tax policy to propel Vietnam's economic growth in 2025
In a significant move to support businesses during challenging times, the Vietnamese government has extended and enhanced various tax relief programmes for 2025, with reductions and deferral measures aimed at stimulating economic growth.
