Promoting electronic payments toward a cashless society is an inevitable development trend in the context of the industrial revolution 4.0, creating a dual impact of both promoting economic growth and supporting the implementation of financial inclusion strategy through banking and financial services. In addition, the application of information technology plays a vital role in electronic tax collection and payment, reforming administrative procedures on tax collection and payment.

Implementing the projects allowed taxpayers to make tax declarations and payment documents directly on the electronic system anytime, anywhere, on any device connected to the internet.
