The Tax Department has launched an Experience Portal for business households and individual business owners to familiarize themselves with the new model before its implementation on January 1, 2026. This initiative aims to streamline tax declaration and payment processes for these entities. Through the eTax mobile app, users can explore the interface, practice tax declaration, and simulate tax filing.
To access these features, taxpayers should update their eTax Mobile app to the latest version. The experience feature will appear directly on the home screen, with clear instructions guiding users through the process. The Tax Department of Hanoi encourages business households to actively practice tax declaration on the Experience Portal to minimize errors during official filings.
