1. IMPORTANCE OF TAXES
Taxes have a very important position and role in
socio-economic life. Specifically, the role of taxes
in socio-economic development is shown as
follows:
- Taxes help stabilize the market and regulate the
economy. Taxes involved in regulating the
economy have two sides: stimulus and restriction.
Through taxes, the state has flexibly adjusted tax
policies in certain periods, in order to influence
supply and demand to help adjust the economic
cycle - an inherent feature of a market economy.
- Taxes ensure the economic structure, helping to
develop in accordance with the state's stable and
long-term orientation. Tax is a tool that
contributes to the adjustment of macroeconomic
objectives: Contributes to the performance of the
functions of inventory, control, management,
guidance and encouragement for production
development, expansion of circulation for all
economic parts in the direction of development
according to the state plan, actively contributing
to the correction of major imbalances in the
national economy.
- Tax generates revenue for the State Budget.
Taxes are considered the most important revenue,
with long-term stability and as the economy
develops, this revenue increases. In addition, tax
revenue to the state budget is only used to meet
the needs of the State's public spending, not for
personal purposes. Part of the revenue from tax is
used for the operation of the State apparatus; the
rest is spent on development investment, culture,
information, healthcare, education, physical
training and sports, and financial resources. Social
support, scientific research... Specifically, when
individuals or companies have income, they will
pay a part of tax into the state budget. When roads
and sewers need to be repaired, the money will be
used to repair them, etc.
- Taxes also help to ensure social justice. Through
taxes, the state will regulate the income gap
between the rich and the poor, by subsidizing or
providing public goods.
2. INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN TAX
MANAGEMENT
2.1. Korea's experience
In Korea, since 2008, the tax authority of this
country has set up a working group to research
and deploy e-invoices. By 2011, all businesses
with legal status were required to use e-invoices.
2012 marked a new development, when the
Korean Government stipulated that business
individuals with large revenue (1,000,000
Won/year) are required to issue electronic
invoices. In 2014, the mandatory use of e-invoices
also applied to individuals with revenue greater
than 300,000 Won/year. In order to improve the
ability to inspect, examine and fight against illegal
e-commerce enterprises, Korea has a high-tech
anti-tax evasion center under the Seoul Regional
Tax Department, to investigate cases of tax
evasion with regard to tax evasion. The center has
30 staff members, of which 15 are highly qualified
information technology staff. The remaining
regional Tax Departments have 8 full-time IT staff
