Is it mandatory to change tax registration information when renewing citizen ID cards in Vietnam?

According to the provisions of Article 36 of the Law on Tax Administration 2019, the content is as follows:

Notification of changes to taxpayer registration information

1. Upon any change to taxpayer registration information, taxpayers who combine taxpayer registration with business registration shall notify the changes to taxpayer registration information together with changes to business registration information as prescribed by law.

In case taxpayers' change of address leads to change of supervisory tax authorities, taxpayers must complete tax procedures with supervisory tax authorities as prescribed in this Law before registering with business registration authorities for change of information.

2. When there is any change to taxpayer registration information, taxpayers directly registered with tax authorities must notify their supervisory tax authorities within 10 working days starting from the date of changes to information.

3. In case individuals authorizing their income payers to register changes to taxpayer registration information for themselves and their dependants, they must notify the income payers in no later than 10 working days starting from the date of changes to information; the income payers shall be responsible for notifying tax authorities of the changes in no later than 10 working days starting from the date of authorization from taxpayers.

Thus, when an individual renews their citizen ID card, they must change their tax registration information.
