According to the report, regarding the law enforcement situation in tax management for e-commerce activities, Can Tho City Tax Department coordinated with the Department of Industry and Trade to classify the list in the e-commerce field, with 155 personal accounts, 24 organizational accounts, 714 merchant accounts, 439 sales notification websites, and 2 sales application notifications.
The City Tax Department coordinated with the Market Management Department to provide a list of information on e-commerce websites with violations, and at the same time transferred a list of violations of 18 organizations and individuals with activities in the field of e-commerce in the area from January 1, 2021 to May 23, 2022.
Review and compare tax declarations and payments of organizations with e-commerce activities and direct the Ninh Kieu District Tax Department to inspect Nguyen Vu Technology Investment Joint Stock Company for signs of violating tax laws and transfer it to the Investigation Police Agency for handling according to regulations.
In the period of 2022 - 2023, the whole industry handled 4 administrative violations related to e-commerce business activities with fines and arrears of 78,635 million VND.
According to the People's Committee of Can Tho City, tax management for e-commerce activities still faces many difficulties and obstacles. The biggest difficulty currently is exploiting information and sales data on digital platforms.
The reason is that buying and selling activities take place through electronic devices connected to the internet, social network accounts are often anonymous, using accounts with non-owner information for transactions. Payment methods are diverse through intermediaries such as banks, e-wallets... leading to many difficulties in identifying e-commerce business subjects.
In general, the legal framework for managing e-commerce activities is still incomplete, so tax authorities are still quite confused in processing and receiving information.
Taxpayers often find ways to avoid taxes such as not registering their business, not declaring their revenue, not disclosing or incorrectly disclosing their transaction accounts, and paying mainly in cash without invoices.
The information provided by the trading floors is incomplete, they are granted tax codes by the Tax Department but the business registration address on the floor is under the management of another Tax Department or the business address is "virtual", so the tax authority encounters many difficulties in the management process...
