Abstract

This research focuses on solutions to prevent tax loss from e-commerce activities in Vietnam. The study identifies challenges faced by tax authorities, such as identification issues and difficulties in monitoring transactions. The proposed solutions include enhancing awareness and education, simplifying tax regulations, strengthening monitoring and enforcement, promoting collaboration and international cooperation, and encouraging digital payment systems. Implementing these solutions can mitigate tax loss, foster compliance, and create a conducive environment for the growth of the e-commerce sector in Vietnam while contributing to tax revenue.
