According to Resolution 08-NQ/UBTC in 2025 issued by the Party Committee of the Ministry of Finance, 20 Regional Tax Departments and State Treasury will be reorganized into 34 provincial-level agencies, to ensure the management model matches the new administrative unit.
Accordingly, existing branches will be merged or re-divided according to new administrative boundaries, converting the operating model from inter-district to provincial level. At the same time, district-level tax teams will become grassroots tax authorities under provincial and municipal taxes, responsible for tax management at the commune level. Similarly, the provincial State Treasury will rearrange transaction offices to ensure management by commune.
This is an important step in the process of streamlining the apparatus, increasing operational efficiency and synchronizing the organizational system according to the Resolution of the Central Committee on the arrangement of administrative units at all levels.
Speaking at the recent Conference on collecting opinions on legal documents organized by the Ministry of Finance, Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang affirmed that in the process of implementing the two-level local government model, the Ministry of Finance has proactively reviewed and proposed plans to reorganize units under the local financial sector.
In the coming time, when implementing the merger of provinces, the treasury, tax and customs system will all have adjustments in accordance with the new administrative boundaries, the Minister emphasized.
Accordingly, the arrangement will be carried out based on the principle of thorough decentralization, giving authority to localities, ensuring that those who do well are given the right to do it, while avoiding the situation of decentralization and dispersation of resources. This not only helps improve management efficiency but also saves operating costs, streamlines the apparatus and improves coordination efficiency between local financial institutions.
