Reorganization of 20 regional tax and state treasury sub-departments into 34 provincial-level departments

Resolution No. 08/NQ-DUBTC requires continued restructuring of the Ministry’s vertical units in localities to align with the organization of administrative units at all levels. Specifically:

(1) For tax and state treasury authorities:

• Restructure the regional tax sub-departments and regional state treasury sub-departments in accordance with provincial-level administrative units. Specifically, reorganize 20 regional tax and state treasury sub-departments into 34 provincial-level tax departments and provincial-level state treasuries under centrally run cities and provinces.

• Convert district-level tax teams into grassroots-level tax offices under the management of provincial-level tax departments, which will administer tax affairs in certain commune-level administrative units.

• Reallocate the transaction offices of provincial-level state treasuries to align with the territories of certain commune-level administrative units.

(2) For statistical and social insurance agencies:

• Restructure provincial-level statistical sub-departments and regional social insurance agencies to align with provincial-level administrative units. Specifically, reorganize 63 statistical sub-departments into 34 provincial-level statistical offices, and reorganize 35 regional social insurance agencies into 34 provincial-level social insurance offices.

• Discontinue district-level statistical and social insurance offices. Convert district-level statistical teams into grassroots-level statistical units under provincial-level statistical offices, and convert district-level social insurance offices into grassroots-level social insurance units under provincial-level social insurance offices, which will manage commune-level administrative units.

(3) For customs and state reserve authorities:

• Maintain the existing 20 regional customs sub-departments and 15 regional state reserve sub-departments. However, adjust their administrative jurisdictions to match the restructuring of provincial-level administrative units.

• Rename the regional customs sub-departments and regional state reserve sub-departments as regional customs offices and regional state reserve offices, respectively, to directly manage warehouse locations.
