Businesses benefit from 24/7 electronic tax payment

Previously, to complete tax obligations, businesses had to spend 1-2 days, depending on bank working hours, but now with just a few online steps, businesses can pay taxes at any time, even on holidays. In particular, expanding payment methods through third parties helps overcome system congestion during peak hours, ensuring a smooth tax payment process.

After just over a month of implementation, over 99% of businesses have implemented electronic customs tax payments, directly connected to the commercial banking system and intermediary organizations, and processed continuously 24/7. This solution not only shortens customs clearance time, but also makes tax payments transparent, minimizing cash transactions.

Towards a digital Customs model

The implementation of e-customs tax is an important step in the digital transformation roadmap of the Customs sector.

Modern, transparent and professional electronic customs

The goal is to build a modern, transparent, professional e-Customs that meets the requirements of international integration.

E-customs tax not only helps businesses save time and costs but also contributes to improving competitiveness in import and export. More importantly, this is an inevitable step on the path of digital transformation of the Customs sector, towards a modern, transparent management system, accompanying the development of the business community.
