Detecting tax evasion using AI, Big Data

At the question and answer session this morning (November 6), delegate Nguyen Dai Thang (Hung Yen National Assembly delegation) raised the issue of solutions to prevent the situation of selling goods without invoices to avoid tax losses.

Questioning the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the State Bank, delegate Nguyen Dai Thang said that in reality, in recent times, the practice of selling goods without invoices has been common, especially in restaurants, hotels, and shopping malls, with the reason that buyers do not request it.

"This not only causes the State to lose tax revenue but also creates conditions for poor quality goods to reach consumers and unintentionally helps businesses evade taxes," the delegate emphasized.

Delegate Nguyen Dai Thang asked the Minister what solutions to take in the coming time to prevent the above situation and avoid tax losses to the State budget?

According to Minister Ho Duc Phoc, up to now, over 50% of supermarkets, restaurants and 100% of Petrolimex's gas stations have connected with tax authorities.

"The Ministry of Finance connects tax data with the Population Database. The Ministry also has solutions to encourage people to get invoices," Minister Ho Duc Phoc emphasized.

"Every month, the Ministry still carries out this lottery program to encourage people, and at the same time strictly manages non-cash payments to increase budget revenue and avoid revenue loss," said Minister Ho Duc Phoc.
