In recent times, the General Department of Taxation of Vietnam has received reports of a center/group allegedly affiliated with the General Department of Taxation of Vietnam sending notifications stating: “By March 31, 2023, enterprises must complete the procedures for updating the chip-based citizen ID card for the legal representative on the Business Registration” and charging fees ranging from hundreds to millions of VND.

Content of the fraudulent email sent to taxpayers

The General Department of Taxation of Vietnam confirms that there is no policy, nor have they sent any emails or notifications to taxpayers regarding the aforementioned matter. The notification “By March 31, 2023, enterprises must complete the procedures for updating the chip-based citizen ID card for the legal representative on the Business Registration” is a fraudulent and counterfeit notification purportedly from the General Department of Taxation of Vietnam; this is an illegal act that exploits the name of the tax authority for personal gain, deceives businesses, and damages the reputation and image of the Tax sector.

The mandatory regulation for changing information on the Enterprise Registration Certificate is stipulated in the Law on Enterprises No. 68/2014/QH13, which took effect on July 1, 2015. When there is a change in the legal document number of the individual representative, the enterprise must register with the Business Registration Authority within 10 days from the date of change.

Taxpayers are advised to remain vigilant and promptly provide information and report fraudulent activities to the Police or the managing Tax Authority in their locality.

Additionally, taxpayers can access officially published information and support on the Tax Sector Information Portal https://gdt.gov.vn.

The General Department of Taxation of Vietnam notifies this to taxpayers for awareness, prevention, and cooperation in handling.

We sincerely thank taxpayers for their cooperation.
