Gia Lai Province has intensified efforts to transition household businesses from the fixed tax regime to a declaration-based system, as the locality races to meet national requirements ahead of the full abolition of fixed tax rules on 1 January 2026.

The Provincial Tax Department is conducting a 60-day campaign, running from 1 November to 31 December 2025, to expedite the transition. The initiative aims to strengthen financial transparency, reinforce business credibility, and align household businesses with modern accounting practices.

A provincial review identified 17,015 household businesses (HKDs) applying the fixed tax method with annual revenue between 200 million VND and under 1 billion VND (approximately USD 8,200 to USD 41,000), and 2,561 HKDs generating 1 billion VND (about USD 41,000) or more that require immediate support. The campaign’s priority is assisting the higher-revenue group to adopt declaration-based tax filing.

Despite disruptions caused by storms and floods, tax teams established consultation points across communes and wards to help businesses complete required procedures.

Nguyễn Quốc Tuấn, Head of Base Tax Office 1, said officials set up eight consultation stations in the wards of Quy Nhơn, Quy Nhơn Đông, Quy Nhơn Nam, and Quy Nhơn Bắc, and even visited businesses directly. By 20 November, all 455 HKDs earning 1 billion VND or more under Base Tax Office 1 had switched to the declaration method, reaching full compliance.

Direct support from tax offices and e-invoice service providers has accelerated the shift. Ms. P.T.H.H, owner of an auto parts trading and repair shop in Quy Nhơn Nam ward, said comprehensive record-keeping strengthens business planning, improves transparency, and enhances credibility while reducing legal and tax-related risks.

According to Trần Quang Thành, Deputy Head of the Provincial Tax Department, 10 out of 11 base tax offices completed their assigned targets between 1 and 20 November by supporting 2,559 out of 2,561 high-revenue HKDs to adopt the new tax regime. Two remaining HKDs are still being guided by Base Tax Office 8 due to objective obstacles.

The transition aligns with Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW issued on 4 May 2025, which mandates abolishing the fixed tax method for household and individual businesses from 1 January 2026. Following this, the Provincial People’s Committee released Official Dispatch No. 6531/UBND-KTTH on 15 November 2025, urging government bodies to strengthen coordination in tax management during the phaseout.

Trần Quang Thành said the tax sector will continue expanding communications on the purpose and benefits of the new regime. The Provincial Tax Department has also signed cooperation agreements with BIDV Bình Định and several private enterprises to provide affordable e-invoice packages for household businesses. Subordinate units are instructed to regularly update tax policies and maintain consultation points.

BIDV Bình Định Director Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Quỳnh said the bank will provide competitive credit packages and offer free use of the MyShop Pro sales management application, integrated into the BIDV SmartBanking platform. The tool enables users to manage orders, cash flow, e-invoices, and digital signatures—supporting household businesses as they shift from fixed taxation to declaration-based filing.
