HCM CITY — The HCM City Department of Taxation is set to open an office dedicated to serving household businesses and newly established companies in the first week of April.

Trần Ngọc Tâm, the department’s director, told Tuổi Trẻ (Youth) newspaper, “The office will be located on the second floor of the tax department.”

It will have several TVs with tutorial clips running about things like completing the tax formalities needed to set up new businesses.

Newly registered companies will be offered free assistance for one year in areas like accounting, tax declaration and business management.

The department will set up a new website with links to websites of business groups for enterprises to send queries related to business policies.

“District-level tax offices will set up teams to answer queries from new companies,” Tâm said.

“The aim is that every household business … will get assistance from tax agencies.”

The city has 245,000 household businesses.

At a meeting with department officials earlier this month, many household businesses complained about facing difficulties in filing tax returns. – VNS
