Review accounts for more than 3,500 enterprises
From July to now, Saigon Port zone 1 Customs Branch drastically implemented many measures to recover outstanding debts. Instead of verifying a few bank accounts of enterprises owing taxes registered with the tax agency, the tax management unit listed all accounts for verification at 79 banks based in Vietnam.
Due to the large number of enterprises for verification, to facilitate the searching and providing information of banks, Saigon Port zone 1 Customs Branch contacted banks and sent a list of enterprises for verification, so banks could immediately look up the results on their software. Therefore, the feedback was timely and highly accurate.

From verification results for bank accounts of enterprises owing taxes, Saigon Port zone 1 Customs Branchissued 166 enforcement decisionswith the revenue to the State budget of more than VND 3 billion.

In addition to the above measures, the Saigon port zone 1 Customs Branch carried out many measures of verification and enforcement combined with guidance and dissemination to tax debtors, spreading tax obligations to the State to the business community. Many enterprises voluntarily paid tax debts. For example, T.A Joint Stock Company with tax debt from 2007 and 2008 of more than VND 370 million VND, the branchimplemented many coercive measures but failed to collect the above debts. At the end of July 2020, the branch issued a decision on enforcing a deduction from the company’s deposit account of nearly VND 35 million and sent a written request to the bank to notify the company of fulfilling its tax obligation. In September, this company voluntarily paid the remaining tax debt of VND 336 million.
Or the case of more than 3.8 billion tax debt of C.H.T. DV Company Limited from 2016, the company contacted Customs to ask for multiple tax payments when it knew that Saigon Port zone 1 Customs Branch drastically implemented coercive measures.
As soon as the Circular No. 79/2020 / TT-BCA dated July 14, 2020 of the Ministry of Public Security guiding the implementation of temporary suspension of exit and entry come into force, Sai Port zone 1 Customs Branch issued a decision to suspend exit for the legal representatives of three companies delaying tax payment including: Tan Thuan Thai Trading Co., Ltd.
