Vietnam is preparing to implement a major change to its tax identification system for employees. Starting July 1, 2025, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam will officially replace traditional Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) with Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) for all employees.
New Tax ID System in Vietnam: What’s Changing?
Under this new regulation, every employee in Vietnam will be required to use their government-issued personal identification number for tax filing and payment procedures, replacing the current system that uses separate tax ID numbers.
The change is part of the government's broader effort to consolidate identity and financial records, reduce administrative burdens, and prevent tax-related fraud.
Implications for Vietnamese Employers
Employers operating in Vietnam must update internal payroll and tax reporting systems. This includes:
Collecting PINs from employees and updating employee records.
Ensuring all tax documentation submitted to authorities reflects the new identification system from July 1, 2025 onward.
Coordinating with local HR and finance teams to communicate the transition clearly to employees.
Reviewing system integrations (such as HRIS or payroll platforms) to ensure compatibility with PIN-based tax reporting.
