For reader's question: From July 1, the personal identification code will replace the business household tax code. So, do I need to register for changes or the system will update itself?
A representative of the Tax Department said:
According to Circular No. 86/2024 of the Ministry of Finance, if business households, households, and individuals are eligible to use personal identification numbers instead of tax codes as prescribed and have been granted tax codes before July 1, 2025 and the tax registration information is consistent with the information in the National Population Database, you are eligible to use personal identification numbers instead of tax codes starting from July 1, 2025. At the same time, the tax authority monitors and manages all data of business households, households, individuals, and data on registration for family deductions of dependents using personal identification numbers.
If a business household, household or individual has been granted a tax code before July 1, 2025 but the tax registration information does not match the information stored in the National Population Database or is incomplete, the tax authority will update the tax code status of the business household, household or individual to status 10 "Tax code waiting for update of personal identification information". Taxpayers must carry out the procedure for changing tax registration information with the tax authority according to the provisions of Circular No. 86/2024.
Thus, taxpayers should proactively check their tax registration information on the Tax Industry Electronic Information Portal and the eTax Mobile application, compare it with identification information according to the national database on population to update registration information according to the above regulations.
