Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has highlighted the necessity of implementing specific tasks to address challenges in e-commerce development, as reported by the Government Office.
On July 12, the office released the Prime Minister’s conclusions from a conference reviewing the first year of the government’s directives on the project focused on developing resident data, electronic identification, and authentication applications. This project aims to support national digital transformation from 2022 to 2025, with a vision extending to 2030 (Project 06), and to enhance data connectivity and sharing for e-commerce and tax management.
Ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, the General Director of Vietnam Social Security, and the chairpersons of the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities were instructed to review the implementation of essential public services to ensure timely completion. They were also directed to focus resources on accelerating the digitization of records and the processing of administrative procedures at all levels.
The Ministry of Public Security was tasked with continuing to provide 13 utilities on VNelD, including the pilot issuance of criminal record cards in Hanoi and the central province of Thua Thien – Hue, with plans to expand this nationwide by the end of the month.
The Ministry of Finance was urged to enhance tax management, continue offering e-tax services, and implement e-invoice solutions for e-commerce activities and livestream sales on digital platforms.
The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Industry and Trade to collaborate with relevant agencies to research and propose solutions for managing and sustainably developing domestic and cross-border e-commerce platforms. This includes supplementing regulations related to stakeholders in e-commerce and livestreaming activities.
Localities were encouraged to promote digital transformation and provide support in terms of human resources and funding to implement these tax management solutions. Additionally, they were advised to deploy e-invoices to monitor the retail sector and strengthen inspections and enforcement against non-compliant business establishments.
