Summary
Taxes are considered the main source of the state’s budget revenues. Taxation is an important tool for the state to regulate the macro economy, promote investments, control inflation, protect domestic production, conduct production and consumption, and redistribute wealth and income in the society. In Vietnam, the Government is always concerned about the tax administration, especially tax obligations of enterprises, because taxes are the most important revenues and contribute the most to the total state budget revenues. Hung Yen gained the total state budget revenue of 16,250 billion VND, reached 109.3% of the plan, increased 1.27% (Hung Yen Provincial People’s Committee, 2020a) in 2020, and the main sources of revenues were from taxes and fees. There are some revenues and taxes accounting for a large proportion of the total state budget revenues have not been completed as planned (Hung Yen Provincial People’s Committee, 2020b). This study gives some implications to increasing tax compliance of SMEs in Hung Yen province, Vietnam
