The personal income tax management system is the first centralized processing system of the General Department of Taxation. The system should be powerful, highly responsive and reliable to meet specific requirements of the taxation. It comprises an operating center and a backup and disaster prevention center built on technological platforms provided by world’s leading vendors such as IBM, SAP, Oracle, Cisco, Checkpoint and F5 and, most notably, a system of 46 state-of-the-art IBM Power Servers.

On behalf of the project team, Mr. Ngo Tuan Khiem presented about implementation plan, organizational structure and cooperation among related parties to ensure project’s success.

Ms. Truong Hai Duong, on behalf of the GDT, made a speech to officially start the project.
