Up to 99.5% of the enterprises in the city submit electronic tax declarations, over 99.1% of the businesses pay taxes electronically, and all the tax refund records are processed electronically.

Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh said that the city's administrative reform has made many positive changes.
He said the city's administrative reform index is always in the top ten best performers in the country. In 2022, Hanoi ranked 3rd out of the country's 63 provinces and centally-run cities, jumping seven places from the position in 2021.
Hanoi's provincial Digital Transformation Index jumped 16 places in 2021.
Thanh thanked leaders, heads of units, and localities for having the right awareness of administrative reform, digital transformation, and Project 06.
He said in the coming time, the city will take drastic directions and measures to achieve breakthroughs in the implementation of administrative reform, digital transformation, and Project 06.
Departments and agencies were asked to focus on reviewing, reducing, and simplifying regulations and administrative procedures related to investment, production, and business activities.
“The city will continue to improve the efficiency of online public services, creating the most favourable conditions for people and businesses, better connecting with national databases, further sharing data with ministries and agencies, and ensuring safety for information systems and personal data," he said./.
