Among these cases, businesses and business households under status 06 account for the majority, at 63.1 percent. Tax Office No. 2, which oversees the area formerly administered by the former city of Thu Duc, has the largest number of taxpayers classified under statuses 03 and 06, at more than 71,000.
Other areas with large numbers include Tax Office No. 16, which oversees the area formerly administered by the former Tan Binh District, with nearly 59,000 cases.
Tax Office No. 7, covering the area formerly administered by the former District 7; Tax Office No. 17, covering the area formerly administered by the former Tan Phu District; and Tax Office No. 12, covering the area formerly administered by the former District 12, each has more than 43,000 businesses and business households classified under statuses 03 and 06.
By contrast, Tax Office No. 20, covering the area formerly administered by the former Can Gio District, has only 1,029 cases.
The publication of information on taxpayers under statuses 03 and 06 is part of the tax sector’s “Tax Identification Number Cleansing – Removing Bottlenecks in Business Operations” campaign.
The detailed lists include names, tax identification numbers, addresses, and the responsible tax authorities. They have been posted on the tax sector’s website, displayed at tax offices, and sent to the People’s Committees of wards and communes. Tax authorities have asked those named on the lists to proactively contact them for guidance on completing the required procedures.
During the campaign, many businesses and business households classified under statuses 03 and 06 have encountered difficulties and obstacles while going through procedures to terminate their tax identification numbers, creating a significant financial burden.
In response to feedback from the business community, associations, and consulting organizations, the General Department of Taxation said it would study and propose that the Ministry of Finance, the Government and the National Assembly develop legal documents to address difficulties and obstacles faced by taxpayers whose tax identification numbers are classified under statuses 03 and 06.
