Vietnam tax code cleanup campaign

Entities: Hanoi Tax Department · Nguyen Tiến Minh

Overview

In July 2026 the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance intensified a nationwide “Clean Tax Code – Remove Business Obstacles” initiative. On 20 July, the Nghe An provincial tax office published a list of 397 inactive taxpayers, citing recent tax‑management legislation, a new decree, and a directive urging local authorities to cooperate with the campaign.

Five days later, the Hanoi tax department disclosed a far larger set of inactive entities—58,153 taxpayers with pending terminations and 92,308 at non‑operational addresses—while noting that over 600,000 enterprises nationwide are under tax‑code scrutiny. Hanoi called for self‑audits, highlighted extensive outreach, training, and the near‑universal adoption of electronic filing to improve transparency and curb fraud.
