Last year, these foreign suppliers paid nearly 3,500 billion VND in tax, including 1,850 billion VND declared and paid directly through the portal and nearly 1,630 billion VND deducted and paid by Vietnamese parties.

In addition, the tax industry said that the tax revenue from e-commerce in the first 5 months of this year reached 246 billion dongs, equal to 34% of the revenue of the whole year last year. This tax revenue in 2022 and 2021 is VND 716 billion and VND 261 billion, respectively.

The General Department of Taxation said that it is developing a regulation on exploiting information from e-commerce platforms' databases to manage taxes more effectively.

This agency checks and compares information for many taxpayers who are e-commerce platform owners, payment intermediaries, foreign partner companies in Vietnam and a number of foreign suppliers who do not have a fixed business establishment in Vietnam.

Up to now, the General Department of Taxation has inspected 15 enterprises and handled, fined and arrears taxes and fees of VND 129 billion, reducing loss of VND 986 billion, reducing value-added tax deduction of VND 114 billion.
