In addition, localities continue to implement solutions to support, promote, and strengthen the management and use of electronic invoices initiated from cash registers, improve the efficiency of tax management for goods sales and service provision directly to consumers according to the Prime Minister's direction in Official Dispatch No. 88/CD-TTg dated June 12, 2025.
In addition, the Ministry of Finance requests localities to continue to promote solutions and tasks in Official Dispatch No. 17142/BTC-CT dated November 4, 2025 of the Ministry of Finance on requesting the People's Committees of provinces and cities to coordinate and direct the management of household and individual business tax when abolishing fixed tax from January 1, 2026, in which special attention is paid to propaganda and support for business households in the transition process.

The exchange and exploitation of information to serve tax management is carried out in accordance with the provisions of law on tax management and information security.
The synchronous and drastic involvement of the entire political system, especially the authorities at all levels, is a guarantee for the successful completion of the task of collecting state budget revenue, as well as the task of creating and developing the private economy in 2026 assigned by the Central Government, the National Assembly, and the Government.
