Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Bank for Social Policy Bui Van Son said that, at the end of August, the municipal Bank for Social Policy sent an official dispatch to the local Department of Labour - Invalids and Social Affairs asking the department to advise and submit to the HCM City People's Committee a package of interest-free consumer support loans for citizens.

Specifically, the program is expected to be implemented in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. However, there has been no response. In 2022, the HCM City Bank for Social Policies said it will continue to pursue this recommendation.

If approved, the loans will be given to people from poor and near-poor households so they can meet their needs in buying food, daily-life items, medical examinations and treatment, and means of transportation. The interest rate applied to the program is zero and the debt is collected monthly.

Mr. Luu Duc Huy, Director of Tax Policy Department (General Department of Taxation), said that although there were problems in the early stages related to transmission lines and software solutions, both tax authorities and supply organizations have been providing solutions, connecting organizations, regularly updating their applications, and answering questions from businesses to ensure that electronic invoices sent to tax authorities for code issuance are done quickly.

According to a plan from the Ministry of Finance, by June 30, 2022, 100% of enterprises in Vietnam are expected to have used e-invoices.
