The time for notification of changes is within 10 working days from the date on which the changed information arises.

Accordingly, when changing information due to change of ID card or CCCD, taxpayers must notify the agency to update data in personal tax management in two ways. Specifically:

Firstly, taxpayers change information directly with the agency.

Second, it applies to the case where the taxpayer and the income-paying agency are managed by the same agency. In this way, the taxpayer can change the information through the income paying agency. Thus, individuals send photocopies of documents related to information change to the income payment agency. The income-paying agency shall make a declaration form No. 05-DK-TH-TCT according to Circular 105/2020/BTC. On the declaration, check the box "change in tax registration information" and write the changed tax registration information. After that, the income-paying agency sends it to the agency managing the unit.

Within 2 working days from the date of receipt of complete dossiers of taxpayers, the agency directly managing taxpayers is responsible for updating changed information into the tax registration application system.

Cases that are "not sanctioned" if the tax registration information is changed late when renewing the citizen's identity with a chip

In this regard, the General Department of Taxation said that in order to create favorable conditions for taxpayers in this change of CCCD with chip, in Clause 6, Article 11 of Decree 125/2020/ND-CP, the following cases are mentioned: Non-business individuals who have been granted personal income tax codes are slow to change information about their ID cards when they are issued CCCD cards; Income-paying agencies that are late in notifying changes to their ID card information when individual income taxpayers who authorize personal income tax finalization are granted CCCD cards will not be penalized.
