The Ministry of Finance said that tax management for e-commerce is being tightened with many synchronous measures. Along with perfecting the policy, the tax authority has deployed an electronic information portal dedicated to households and individuals doing e-commerce business, increasing data collection and coordinating with ministries and branches to monitor more closely.
E-commerce Tax Declaration Portal records more than 258 billion VND paid to the budget
To support e-commerce traders to fulfill their tax obligations, from December 19, 2024, the Electronic Information Portal for households and individuals doing e-commerce business will officially operate. As of February 27, 2025, 41,500 households and individuals have registered for tax, declared and paid taxes, contributing more than 258 billion VND to the state budget.
In addition, the tax authority also actively collects data from major e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Tiki, Lazada, Sendo, TikTok, Grab. To date, after 9 periods of providing information, the tax authority has collected data from 439 e-commerce platforms, recording 40 billion transactions with a total value of 366 trillion VND.
Nearly 1,400 billion VND collected from violations
In 2024, the tax authority handled 33,003 violations, including 736 enterprises and 32,267 individuals, with a total tax collection and fines of nearly VND1,400 billion. At the same time, the tax sector coordinated with the Ministry of Industry and Trade to share data from 929 websites and 284 e-commerce applications, helping to closely manage business activities on digital platforms.
Solutions to tighten e-commerce tax management in the coming time
In order to continue to improve the effectiveness of tax management for e-commerce, the Ministry of Finance proposes a series of measures:
Amend the Law on Tax Administration and the Law on e-commerce to require logistics service providers and e-commerce platforms to provide information about individuals and business organizations.
Develop a decree guiding the responsibility of e-commerce platforms in deducting and paying taxes on behalf of business households.
Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to process big data, warning of tax evasion risks.
Strengthen inspection and examination of e-commerce activities to detect violations.
Closely coordinate with ministries and branches to share data, improve the effectiveness of tax management on digital platforms.
With the above solutions, the Ministry of Finance hopes to tighten e-commerce tax management, ensure fairness in tax obligations, and contribute to effectively increasing state budget revenue.
