Hanoi, 23 October 2017 – BIDV and General Department of Vietnam Customs signed a cooperation agreement on collecting state budget, tax guarantees for imports and exports, regulators’ fees and charges electronically.

 

​Under the agreement, BIDV is one of the first commercial banks to cooperate with the General Department of Vietnam Customs in providing a new 24/7 e-customs tax payment service, deployed at the portal of the general department.

The cooperation between the General Department of Vietnam Customs and BIDV is an action aimed at implementing the customs sector’s project of “e-tax payment via banks and 24/7 customs clearance”. This is a breakthrough in the administrative reforms of the customs sector, aiming to best serve the interests of enterprises in import and export procedures.

The “24/7 e-customs tax payment” service assists businesses in paying tax through the customs electronic payment portal any time (including holidays and weekends) and anywhere with internet connection. Through this simple and convenient service, an enterprise's tax payment result will immediately be confirmed by BIDV with assistance from customs officers who will ensure the goods are cleared quickly, thereby shortening both time and costs in tax payment and goods clearance.

In addition to these advantages, when registering for the 24/7 e-customs tax payment service with BIDV, enterprises can also look up and print the entire history of their tax payment transactions, as well as receiving other incentives from the bank.

Mr. Nguyen Duong Thai, deputy director general of Vietnam Customs said, “The “e-tax payment via banks and 24/7 customs clearance” is a key project of the General Department of Vietnam Customs in 2017, designed to create the best conditions for taxpayers, shorten time for customs procedures for imports and exports to reach the medium level of that of the ASEAN-4 according to the Government’s direction”.

Addressing the signing ceremony, Mr. Le Ngoc Lam, senior executive vice president of BIDV affirmed, “With a view to serving and facilitating enterprises, BIDV is committed to creating the best conditions in terms of human resources and technology to implement the e-tax collection and tax guarantees effectively under the agreement.”
