Tax debt check is a vital step for individuals and businesses to control financial obligations, avoid penalties and ensure credibility in transactions. By checking online using tax codes and leveraging Hoang Quan Appraisal’s property valuation for tax support, you can file transparent, legal and optimized tax declarations.
What is tax debt checking and why is it important?
Tax debt checking means verifying whether an individual or business owes taxes to the State. Common types include:
-
VAT, Corporate Income Tax, Personal Income Tax
-
Fees, charges, and penalty fines
-
Late payment interest (0.03% per day, as per 2019 Tax Administration Law)
For instance, a VND 100 million tax debt overdue by 30 days incurs VND 900,000 in penalties. Without regular checks, small debts can grow into serious issues.
Benefits of regular tax debt checking:
-
Transparent Transactions: Prevent license suspension or tax ID freeze due to unpaid taxes
-
Loan/visa application support: Ensure clean tax status for banking and international processes
-
Due diligence for transfers/mergers: Avoid disputes in business partnerships
-
Better cash flow management: Stay proactive in financial planning
Thanks to the General Department of Taxation’s portal and eTax system, users can now check tax debts easily anytime, anywhere.
