Step 2 (from August 1 to October 1), the department will summarise feedback, complete and submit authorities to issue official guidelines on: data standards providing information; connectivity solutions; the process of providing information and exploiting the tax authority's database to serve the tax administration.

Step 3 (from October 1, 2021 to before January 1, 2022), the General Department of Taxation and e-commerce platforms must upgrade the application to provide information according to the standard format.

Steps 4 (from January 1, 2022), e-commerce platforms will provide information with the tax man under data standards.

The General Department of Taxation has proposed the Vietnam-Ecommerce Association to give opinions from e-commerce floors.
