In 2026, the process of paying into the State Budget will continue to be strongly modernized in line with the national digital transformation orientation.

The payer needs to provide payment documents or requests from competent authorities, and after verification, the collection agency will collect the money and issue a receipt confirming the transaction.

In addition to the above method, customers can visit the nearest bank branch to pay state budget taxes.
