Secretary of the Hai Phong Party Committee Le Tien Chau attended a meeting held by the city Tax Office on the afternoon of September 4 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s taxation sector (September 10, 1945 – 2025).

Participants in the meeting reviewed the 80-year history of Vietnam’s taxation sector, which has gradually improved its legal framework, constantly carried out reforms, modernized tax management, and become one of the key pillars of the national finance.

Together with the national taxation system, on October 1, 1990, the Taxation Departments of Hai Phong city and Hai Duong province were established. On July 1, 2025, the Ministry of Finance decided to establish the Hai Phong Tax Office under a new, streamlined, and effective model after the merger of Hai Phong and Hai Duong.
