The Tax sector standardizes personal tax code data to unify the use of the citizen identification number as tax code.

According to the General Department of Taxation, the sector is assigned to achieve the goal of using citizen identification numbers as tax code following the provisions of Clause 7 Article 35 of the Law on Tax Administration and ensuring the transformation of information of taxpayers in the database of the Tax sector.

Accordingly, the taxpayer's information managed by the national population database must be linked to the tax system, including full name, date/month/year of birth, and citizen identification number for querying into the Ministry of Public Security database.

The General Department of Taxation has used two services to connect with the national population database of the Ministry of Public Security and actively analyzed and predicted tax registration data of taxpayers. The country's top tax regulator realizes it is necessary to review and standardize personal tax code data to identify taxpayers' identification numbers.

The General Department of Taxation needs a roadmap to review the database of 78 million individual tax codes to ensure the connection of the tax database with the national population database and use citizen identification numbers as tax codes in 2023.

The General Department of Taxation requests the local tax department to expedite the dissemination of this policy of using the citizen identification number as tax code; closely coordinate and instruct taxpayers in changing tax registration information.
