Usually, the house renter has to declare and pay personal income tax and VAT on quarterly rental income. Thus, the deployment of tax declaration service for this group will result in many savings.

Specifically, taxpayers can access the website of the General Department of Taxation (gdt.gov.vn), follow the instructions, and complete the form including phone number, email etc Then the authentication code will be sent to taxpayers via mobile phone. Taxpayers enter the code into the website. After that, the tax office will send a notification about the transaction account to the registered email address. So that taxpayers will use their transaction account for online tax declaration.

Furthermore, the tax office will deploy online the tax payment registration fee. Currently, Railway and Road Traffic Police Department has made an agreement about the transmission method for online tax payment of the registration fees for car and motorcycle as well as developing exchange information method between two agencies.

Regarding the online tax refund, the Ministry of Finance will issue a circular for VAT refund and complete online tax refund process to be deployed in 2016.
