Illustrative image (Source: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam has made encouraging achievements in improving the local business climate and national competitiveness since the issuance of Resolution No.19 in 2014, as heard at a seminar held in Hanoi on November 2.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Director of the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM) Nguyen Dinh Cung said the issuance of the resolution affirms the Vietnamese Government’s determination in the effort.
Vietnam ranked 69th in the 2019 Doing Business Report.
Among the ten sectors that the report covered, Vietnam earned higher scores in seven indicators, including getting electricity (up by 9.25 points) and starting a business (up by 2.80 points).
The Advisory Council of Administrative Procedures Reform announced in its 2018 report that business registration ranks second of eight in the index for the lowest administrative procedure compliance costs.
Director of the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MoPI)’s Department of Business Registration Tran Thi Hong Minh urged the MoPI to speed up the process of business registration applications to within three days, instead of the current five days, in line with the Corporate Law.
The Ministry of Finance needs to reduce the waiting time for purchasing and printing VAT invoices to four days from the current 10 days for the business startup process, she said.
Deputy head of the Department of Reform and Modernisation from the Ministry of Finance’s General Department of Taxation Hoang Thi Lan Anh also suggested supplementing the Law on Tax Management and relevant policies.
Anh proposed that the finance ministry should amend accounting rules for micro-sized enterprises and launch e-tax services.
Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Tax Consultants’ Association Nguyen Dinh Cu stressed the need to develop accounting software for businesses, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Minh called for considering a plan to connect business, labour, and social insurance registration procedures online, thus laying an important foundation to build e-government and improve the efficiency of State management of business operations.–VNA
