Recently, the General Department of Taxation is speeding up the implementation of online tax refunds on a national scale, a part of the tax reform effort, to create favourable conditions for businesses. A pilot implementation of online tax refunds was implemented in 13 provinces and cities, which were expected to be expanded nationwide in the first quarter of 2017.

The tax authorities aimed at making at least 90% of tax filing submissions online. The general department for taxes is also pushing online tax filing and payment.
