On June 24, at the seminar "Tax Leadership in the New Era - Global Perspective and Reality in Vietnam", the Tax Department first introduced the Vietnam Tax White Paper 2026 to the business community and investors.
The publication provides an overview of the current tax policy system, and updates Vietnam's tax reform orientations to 2030. According to experts, this is an important reference source to help businesses and investors have more basis to assess the investment and business environment as well as tax policy management trends in the coming time.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Pham Van Thinh - General Director of Deloitte Vietnam - said that the management agency's introduction of the Vietnam Tax White Paper 2026 demonstrates the spirit of dialogue between tax authorities and the business community, contributing to improving the transparency of the investment environment.
According to recent messages from the tax industry, the relationship between tax authorities and taxpayers is being oriented towards companionship, putting taxpayers at the center, associated with the digitalization process and administrative procedure reform.
At the seminar, speakers also analyzed the changes taking place in the tax sector globally. According to Deloitte's 2025 Global Tax Policy Survey, current prominent trends include increased transparency, promotion of tax returns and the application of digital technology in tax management.
Many opinions believe that in the context of increasingly fierce competition to attract investment capital, investors are not only interested in tax rates but also focus on stability, predictability and consistency of the tax policy system.
Mr. Michael Fiore - Leader of Deloitte Southeast Asia Tax and Legal Consulting Services - said that the ability to forecast long-term policy orientations is becoming one of the important criteria when multinational corporations assess a country's investment environment.
Speakers also said that the role of the tax department in businesses is undergoing significant changes. If previously taxes were mainly considered compliance activities, now issues related to tax risk management, information transparency and tax data are increasingly impacting investment decisions and business strategies of enterprises.
The introduction of the Vietnam Tax White Paper 2026 is expected to contribute to enhancing the transparency of the policy environment, while supporting businesses and investors to have a fuller access to tax reform orientations in the coming period.
