From July 1, 2025, taxpayers, tax authorities, agencies, organizations, and individuals related to the use of tax codes as prescribed in Article 35 of the Law on Tax Administration shall use personal identification numbers instead of tax codes.

Regarding the use of personal identification numbers in place of tax codes, Clause 1, Point b, and Clause 5, Article 5 of Circular No. 86/2024/TT-BTC provide additional guidance:

– The tax code for households, business households, and individuals is the tax code issued by the tax authority and the personal identification number issued by the Ministry of Public Security in accordance with the law on personal identification.

– The personal identification number of Vietnamese citizens, which is a sequence of 12 natural numbers, shall be used instead of the tax code for taxpayers and their dependents.
