The same day, the department also activated a portal to assist startups at http://www.hcmtax.gov.vn/. 

Head of the department Tran Ngoc Tam said the moves aim to implement Government Resolution No.35/NQ-CP issued on May 16, 2016, on supporting and developing businesses.

The programme aims to provide startup businesses with tax information while creating a channel to ease concerns about tax policies and procedures and ensuring effective State tax management. 

It also aims to save time and money for businesses, mitigate troubles for tax payers and reduce tax violations. 

The portal provides documents on tax and administrative procedures, making it easier for enterprises to conduct e-tax declaration and payment. 

The municipal Department of Planning and Investment along with the Business Association, tax and certificate services agencies pledged to put forth practical policies to support startup businesses with free tax declaration services, tax declaration software, social insurance, accounting and corporate administration, among others. 

Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Su Ngoc Anh said non-State businesses are a financial force to boost the city’s economic growth. 

Therefore, the department was committed to simplifying administrative procedures for business establishment.
