Implementing the goal of "National digital transformation program to 2025, orientation to 2030" and "Project on developing non-cash payments in Nghe An for the period 2021 - 2025", in order to facilitate people in fulfilling non-agricultural tax obligations in the coming time, Nghe An Provincial Tax Department has researched and innovated the collection method for this type of tax, through coordination with the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam BIDV - Nghe An Branch to implement non-agricultural tax collection by transfer through the authorized collection account of the People's Committee of the ward or commune opened at the bank.

The first locality to pilot the method was Vinh Tan ward (Vinh city), which received positive response and high appreciation from the people for the benefits of this new method.

Mr. Nguyen Duy, residing in Vinh Tan ward, shared after paying taxes that before paying taxes on the digital platform, he had to take a day off work to go to the ward to pay taxes. The amount was not much but it took time. Now, with smartphones and easy-to-use software, paying taxes is quick and convenient.

“Personally, I think this form should be widely deployed and replicated for many people to use in order to save time. Controlling the completion of annual non-agricultural land tax obligations will be faster,” Mr. Duy expressed.

Nghe An Tax Department affirmed that paying taxes via bank transfer has minimized administrative procedures, limited errors, saved costs and travel time. In particular, taxpayer information is safe and secure.

After piloting in Vinh Tan ward, Nghe An Tax Department will soon apply this form throughout the province.
