Tax Department announces temporary suspension of information technology systems
The Tax Department has just issued Notice No. 237/TB-CT dated May 14, 2025 on the temporary suspension of the Tax sector's information technology (IT) systems to serve the work of converting the Data Center.
This is a necessary activity to upgrade the technical infrastructure, ensuring the system operates more stably and effectively in the future. According to the plan, the system suspension will take place in two phases.
Phase 1 starts at 6:00 p.m. on May 23, 2025 (Friday) and ends at 4:00 p.m. on May 25, 2025 (Sunday). Phase 2 will take place from 6:00 p.m. on June 13, 2025 (Friday) to 4:00 p.m. on June 15, 2025 (Sunday).
In particular, the Electronic Invoice service will have its own suspension time for each period, specifically from 0:00 to 04:00 on May 24, 2025 (period 1) and from 0:00 to 04:00 on June 14, 2025 (period 2).
The leader of the Tax Department of Region X said: During the suspension period, many important systems will be affected, including: electronic tax service systems such as eTax, iCanhan, eTax Mobile; electronic invoice system; e-commerce portal and platform for foreign suppliers (NCCNN); transmission axes connecting with T-VAN, banks and affiliated organizations; as well as gateways connecting with the National Public Service, the Ministry of Finance and local authorities.
This disruption may affect tax declaration, payment and use of electronic invoices by people and businesses.
Therefore, the Tax Department recommends that taxpayers proactively back up data and fulfill tax obligations early, to avoid system suspension causing disruption or affecting important financial and administrative transactions.
The Tax Department is committed to completing the upgrade process on schedule, ensuring data security and quickly bringing the systems back to normal operation. Detailed information is updated on the General Department of Taxation's Electronic Information Portal:www.gdt.gov.vnPeople and businesses are encouraged to monitor regularly to promptly grasp support instructions during the system suspension.
