American International School owes more than 100 billion VND in taxes, proposed to revoke its establishment license

On August 28, the Tax Department of District 7 - Nha Be District sent a document requesting the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to revoke the license to establish the American International School (AISVN).

According to the Tax Department of District 7, Nha Be District, AIS International Education Joint Stock Company - the investor of AISVN, owes more than 100 billion VND in taxes. The tax authority has applied many coercive measures such as withdrawing bank accounts, stopping the use of invoices, and temporarily suspending the exit of the head, but to no avail.

Previously, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training decided to suspend the American International School for 12 months, starting from July 1, due to failing to ensure teaching conditions. However, the school has repeatedly informed parents that it is improving its operating conditions and will reopen soon.

During a meeting with the American International School on August 20, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City Nguyen Bao Quoc affirmed that AISVN has not yet met the conditions to resume operations. At the same time, the school is required not to organize any educational activities as prescribed during the suspension period. It is not allowed to conduct surveys to determine whether students will continue to study at the school or not.

American International School

According to the report of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the number of teachers at the American International School is now only 28, while it was 400 before, and the school lacks a principal. The American International Education Corporation AIS has not yet provided documents proving sufficient financial resources as required to ensure the maintenance and development of educational activities.

As of August 24, more than 300 students of the school had confirmed their transfer online but had not yet taken the admission steps, while about 700 students had not yet confirmed their transfer.

This afternoon, the HCM City Department of Education and Training will hold a meeting with parents of the American International School to continue providing guidance on school transfers in time for the new school year.

The leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training have asked parents to quickly transfer their children to schools to ensure their education is not interrupted before the new school year. The city's public school system will create all conditions to accept students regardless of financial difficulties or procedural problems.

This afternoon, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City instructed parents of the American International School on school transfer. For elementary school students of the American International School, the location for instruction for parents on school transfer will be organized by the Department of Education and Training at Trang Tan Khuong Elementary School (36 Nguyen Van Tao Street, Long Thoi, Nha Be District).

For middle and high school students of American International School, the location for parent transfer guidance is held at Long Thoi High School (280 Nguyen Van Tao Street, Long Thoi, Nha Be District).
