In order to support businesses that use sales software, accounting software and issue invoices to easily transfer information to the information technology system of the GDT, the GDT and Vinasa agreed to sign an agreement on cooperation in building electronic tax transaction data standards. Vinasa is a professional agency membered by more than 300 software and IT services businesses in Vietnam, accounting for more than 70 per cent of the sector’s revenue in Vietnam. Therefore, the cooperation with Vinasa is supported by Vinasa members. When standards are deployed to enterprises, Vinasa will be a support channel for the GDT to provide information, guidance and support for software enterprises to make timely updates.
Mr Le Xuan Hoa, Vice Chairman of Vinasa, said, tax services have great impacts on society. Facilitating IT firms to use data standards and electronic tax transaction information to design and build software applications to ensure easy connectivity of the information technology platform with the GDT to carry out electronic tax transactions is very necessary.
