The Ministry of Finance said that in the first three months of the year, tax revenue from organizations and individuals engaged in e-commerce business activities was 34.5 trillion VND, an increase of 19% over the same period.

In the last 3 years, the tax collection from organizations and individuals with e-commerce business activities was 296 trillion VND. In order to support households and individuals doing e-commerce business to have more channels to fulfill tax obligations, from December 19, 2024, the tax authority has operated the Electronic Information Portal for households and individuals doing business to register, declare, and pay taxes from e-commerce and business on digital platforms.

As a result, as of March 19, 2025, the E-commerce Portal has supported more than 55,000 households and business individuals to register for tax, declare tax, and pay tax on the E-commerce Portal with a total payment to the state budget of nearly 410 billion VND. Of which, the 5 provinces and cities with the highest direct tax payment on the portal are: Hanoi 261 billion VND; Ho Chi Minh City 71 billion VND; Nam Dinh 7.1 billion VND; Bac Ninh 5.4 billion VND.

The Ministry of Finance also said: Since the implementation of the Electronic Information Portal for foreign suppliers, 135 foreign suppliers have declared and paid taxes with a total tax amount of nearly 23 trillion VND.

Sharing about tax management for e-commerce business activities at a recent press conference of the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Mai Son, Deputy Director of the Tax Department, said that according to the law, from April 1, e-commerce platforms must pay taxes on behalf of individuals doing business on the platform.

In the process of developing these regulations, the Tax Department has organized many working sessions with e-commerce associations and online trading floors. The goal is to create favorable conditions for businesses and individuals to fulfill their tax obligations, while saving costs for society.

“Allowing businesses to pay taxes on behalf of individuals with cash flow on the trading floor is considered a positive solution, not only helping to reduce costs but also ensuring transparency in tax management,” said Mr. Mai Son.

The agency has shared data with the Ministry of Industry and Trade to obtain accurate information on e-commerce revenue, which helps tax authorities better manage online business activities. In addition, the tax authority is also closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to support and better manage the implementation of tax obligations of individuals doing e-commerce business.

Tax administration data in the last 3 years recorded tax collection results from organizations and individuals with e-commerce business activities of 296 trillion VND. In the first 3 months of 2025 alone, the amount of tax paid was 34.5 trillion VND, an increase of 19% over the same period last year.
