Abstract. Tax compliance is the concern of many researchers and tax managers. Based on secondary data  
from tax authorities and primary data collected from 362 small and medium enterprises (SMEs), we assess  
the tax compliance of small and medium enterprises. Descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of  
variance are used to analyse the data. The results show that SMEs receive various types of support to  
enhance their tax compliance. Further, both secondary and primary data indicate that SMEs have an  
adequate level of tax compliance. However, there are differences among sectors concerning tax declaration  
assessment. Based on these results, we discuss and propose several managerial and policy measures to  
improve SMEstax compliance.

Introduction  
Tax compliance has attracted the attention of tax managers and researchers in recent years.  
Most countries have developed general compliance strategies for managing tax effectively and  
efficiently. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) believes  
that the private sector plays a critical role in economic growth and development [22, 28].  
However, tax evasion and tax non-compliance still exist and cause some risks for tax  
administration and the state budget. Therefore, domestic and international tax authorities need  
to spend considerable resources to ensure fairness. One of the biggest challenges for tax  
compliance is high compliance cost, even though numerous enterprises want to comply [27].  
This challenge comes from a flawed tax system and an inadequate understanding of the tax  
system. Therefore, it is urgent to create a favourable environment and modern and  
straightforward tax management to facilitate small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to  
carry out production and business.  
By the end of 2019, Thua Thien Hue province had 6,500 enterprises, of which 4,568 were  
SMEs. SMEs contributed VND 1,094 billion to the state budget revenue from enterprises  
(equivalent to 27.32%) [3] and created over 36,986 jobs (equivalent to 41.01%) of the total  
number of employees working in enterprises. The present reality shows that enterprises have

difficulties understanding and complying with tax policies, mainly due to the lack of legal  
knowledge [7]. Besides, businesses often face challenges in implementing tax policies and  
administrative procedures. Although various enterprises want to comply voluntarily, they do  
not have enough information to conform to regulatory procedures [26]. The inspection and  
examination from tax authorities reveal that the number of enterprises that declare tax rates,  
withhold and pay tax incorrectly increases annually. Such violation includes late tax payment  
and no tax payment, which lead to a large amount of tax arrears, administrative penalties for  
tax and late fines payment [1012]. Indeed, although tax authorities in recent years have offered  
tax service programs to support businesses to implement tax compliance [34, 35], the  
improvement in tax compliance of enterprises is insignificant in terms of tax fines.  
In recent years, there have been numerous studies focusing on tax compliance of  
individuals [1], tax costs [5], taxpayer characteristics [29, 31, 32], tax audits [13], and the  
complexity of tax policy [31]. However, a few enterprisestax compliance studies have been  
conducted [5, 6]. Moreover, these studies focused only on a particular type of tax (e.g., income  
tax) or concentrated on influencing factors of tax compliance. To the best of our knowledge, no  
research explores the support activities to enhance SMEstax compliance and assesses SMEs’  
tax compliance from both objective and subjective perspectives. This study, therefore, seeks to  
answer the following two questions.  
1. What are the primary support activities to enhance SMEstax compliance?  
2. What is the level of tax compliance among SMEs in Thua Thien Hue? Are there any  
differences in the level of tax compliance among SME categories?

Literature review  
2.1  
Tax compliance  
Tax compliance is an essential topic for numerous tax authorities to convince taxpayers to do  
their duty. Song and Yarbrough [33] indicate that tax compliance is taxpayersability and  
willingness to comply with tax policies, which is determined by ethics, legal environment, and  
other situational factors at a specific time and place. Andreoni et al. [2] state that tax compliance  
must be defined as taxpayerswillingness to comply with tax laws to achieve a countrys  
economic equilibrium. Kirchler [16] provides a more straightforward definition that tax  
compliance refers to taxpayerswillingness to pay their taxes.  
The OECD [23] considers tax compliance as tax policy enforcements practice based on  
four pillars: tax registration, tax declaration, tax payment, and tax report. Later studies (e.g.,  
Rusdi et al. [30]) apply these pillars to assess taxpayerstax compliance. Tax compliance is to  
comply with the tax responsibility completely, voluntarily and on time [6], completely comply  
with statutory tax responsibility, including tax registration and tax registration activities, tax  
18

declaration, tax calculation, and tax payment [20]. Other research on taxpayerscompliance  
behaviour shows that individual standards and tax policy strongly affect tax compliance,  
increasing tax compliance intention [8, 18]. This is consistent with the provisions of the Law on  
Tax Administration, which follows the mechanism of self-declaration, self-calculation, and self-  
responsibility for payable tax amounts and duration.  
Vietnam has applied the OECD [23] tax compliance criteria to the regulation of tax risk  
management [21]. Several authoritys tax compliance criteria have been issued regarding the  
submitted/required ratio or on-time/submitted ratio in the declaration. The higher the ratios, the  
better the tax compliance is.  
2.2  
Tax service activities to inhance tax compliance for enterprises  
Tax Services from the tax authorities include communication and support for taxpayers under  
the Law on Tax Administration and information on tax policies through different channels to  
guide taxpayers to comply with tax regulations [15]. Supports by means of software and  
telephone at tax authorities have been implemented to diversify the types of communication for  
taxpayers [19, 14]. Modern tax administration trends see taxpayers as customers rather than  
guilty entities and have service orientation for taxpayers [9]. Besides, building a tax service  
process, a one-stop electronic system with available services, a call centre, upgrading facilities  
and equipment, and improving the quality of human resources are necessary activities to  
improve tax service quality [3]. In addition, the trend of voluntary tax compliance that is based  
on belief and tax service environment is applied by several countries around the world, thus  
strengthening tax services and improving taxpayerstax compliance [4].

Methods  
3.1  
Secondary data collection  
The secondary data related to tax administration for SMEs from 2017 to 2019, such as the state  
budget collection, propaganda and support, tax declaration, tax debt, and SME tax report, were  
collected from Thua Thien Hue Department of Taxation.  
3.2  
Primary data collection  
Sampling  
Based on Krejcie and Morgans general formula [17] and the population of 4,624 enterprises, we  
decided that the minimum sample size for this study is 355. However, to ensure sample size  
requirement, we surveyed 450 enterprises. To meet the representativeness, we used Probability  
sampling techniques based on the following attributes: size (7.7% of medium enterprises, 41.7%  
of small enterprises, and 50.6% of micro-enterprises), sectors (49.2% of Trade/Services, 25.1% of  
Construction, 5.2% of Industry/Manufacturing, 5.2% of Agriculture/Forestry/fisheries, and  
15.2% of other businesses), type (65.7% of Limited Liability Companies, 18.8% of Joint Stock  
Companies, 13.5% of Private Enterprises, and 2% of Other), and location (34.5% of Hue City,  
26.8% of Department Office, 8.3% of Huong Tra, 8.3% of Huong Thuy, 5.5% of Phong Dien,  
5.5% of Quang Dien, 5.5% of Phu Vang, 2.8% of Nam Dong, and 2.8% of A Luoi). Besides the  
administrative area, the tax administration of the tax authorities depends on the  
decentralisation of the district and provincial budgets (according to the tax administration  
area). Thus, the Tax Department is the tax authority at the provincial level, which primarily  
manages large-scale and medium-scale enterprises. We obtained 362 valid questionnaires for  
further analysis.  
Data analysis  
Descriptive statistics were used to describe the essential characteristics of the data collected  
from empirical research in different ways. These statistics provide simple summaries of the  
samples metrics and describe the sample groups attributes by region and by type of business.  
To compare tax compliance level between groups of enterprises, we used one-way  
analysis of variance (ANOVA). If the condition of homogeneous variance does not meet the  
Levene test, the Welch test is applied. If there exists a statistically significant difference, we use  
ANOVA (Post-hoc) in-depth analysis to point out the differences in assessing tax compliance  
level among those groups of enterprises.

Tax compliance through secondary data  
Tax compliance in tax registration  
According to the tax registration data from the Thua Thien Hue Department of Planning and  
Investment and the Tax Department, the number of newly registered enterprises increases  
annually. Compared with 2018 and 2017, this number of 2019 increases by 11.3% and 16.3%.  
This increase concentrates mainly on the Tax Department of Hue city, which records more than  
50% of the total number of new registrations in TT Hue province every year. On the other hand,  
Nam Dong and A Luoi districts register only around ten enterprises annually (Table 1).  
Tax compliance in tax declaration  
SMEs tax declaration is made monthly or quarterly for each tax under the Law on tax management.  
Because reminding the SMEs to submit tax declaration files is a secondary task, tax authorities do  
not do it frequently. However, to limit late-submission rates, the tax declaration division regularly  
assigns the staff to phone or email the enterprises monthly or quarterly. If a tax declaration is not  
submitted on time after a reminder, a monetary or a non-monetary fine is applied.  
Table 1 shows that the total number of tax declaration files increases annually. The ratio  
of submitted tax declaration over the required submission increases from 93.12% in 2017 to  
95.94% in 2018 and 96.87% in 2019. The ratio of on-time declarations over the number of  
submitted tax declaration files also rises from 2017 to 2019.

Tax compliance in tax payment  
The amount of tax payable and tax paid from the SMEs in Thua Thien Hue province increases  
from 2017 to 2019, with a slight difference in the growth rate. In 2018, the amount of tax payable  
increases by 14.0%, from 1,180,442 to 1,420,309 million VND, while the amount of tax paid  
increases by just 8.3%, from 905,287 to 979,987 million VND. In contrast, 2019 witnesses a  
slower growth of 10.9% in tax payable, while the amount of tax paid increases by 11.6%.  
Therefore, the tax debt ratio increases to 23.45% in 2018 then decreases to 22.97%. However, this  
ratio is not considered appropriate because the required tax debt ratio from the tax authorities is  
only 5%, much lower than that in Thua Thien Hue province.  
Tax compliance in tax reports  
SMEs tax reports include reports on the use of tax invoices. The tax invoices associated with the  
business are VAT invoices and sales invoices. The information on the use of invoices and  
vouchers is required to be submitted quarterly or monthly.  
22  
Jos.hueuni.edu.vn  
Vol. 130, No. 5B, 2021  
In general, the submitted ratio and on-time ratio increase over the years. In particular, the  
submitted ratio increases from 93.2% in 2017 to 95.9% in 2018, and then up to 96.5% in 2019. The  
on-time ratio also increases from 91.2% in 2017 to 94.6% in 2018 but decreases slightly to 94.2%.

Tax compliance through survey data  
Sample characteristics  
Out of the 450 enterprises participating in the survey, 362 valid questionnaires were obtained.  
Table 2 describes the collected sample characteristics in terms of type, sector, duration, and  
working capital.  
As for the type of enterprise, Limited Liability Companies make up the most significant  
proportion with 238 enterprises (65.7%), followed by Joint Stock Companies with 68 enterprises  
(18.8%), and Private Enterprises with 49 enterprises (13.5%). Partnerships have the lowest  
proportion: only two enterprises, and five enterprises did not leave information.  
Regarding sector, Trade/Service accounts for 49.2%; Construction accounts for 25.1%.  
Industry/Manufacturing and Agriculture/Forestry/Fisheries sectors have the same proportion of  
5.2%. The remaining proportion belongs to Extractive and other sectors.  
In terms of duration, the SMEs operating over ten years account for 34%, and from 1 to 5  
years accounts for 29.8%. Concerning working capital, the SMEs with Under 20 billion VND  
accounts for 86.7%, of which Under 3 billion VND accounts for more than 50%.

Characteristics of tax compliance at tax authorities  
Participation in tax compliance enhancement activities  
Table 3 describes the participation of SMEs in tax supporting services from the tax authorities to  
enhance tax compliance. To access tax information, 280 enterprises (77.3%) report that they  
attend training at tax authorities, and 207 others (57.2%) use tax authoritiesweb portals.  
Meanwhile, the percentage of enterprises accessing information from documents from the tax  
authorities is just 41.4%, and those getting advice from newspapers, television and radio are  
very limited (16.6%).  
Most enterprises decide to visit the tax office (72.9%) and call directly (68.0%) to receive  
support and answers from the tax authorities. The less common forms are participating in the  
dialogue (co-)organised by tax authorities (49.4%), researching documents (33.1%), and sending  
official letters (16.6%).

Tax compliance status through survey  
Table 4 describes the number and percentage of enterprises that tend to agree (i.e., if their  
answer is either “agreeor totally agree) with specific tax compliance statements.  
(1) Enterprises always register and supply tax registration information on time: Regarding this  
statement, 343 enterprises (94.8%) tend to agree, and 84.6% of them totally agree with this  
statement. Meanwhile, only one enterprise shows their total disagreement, and only four  
enterprises show their disagreement with the statement.  
(2) Enterprises always declare tax fully and on time (necessary information, such as tax declaration  
papers, financial statements, change of information, etc.): 349 enterprises (96.5%) tend to agree with  
the second statement. In particular, a very high percentage (88.2%) of enterprises totally agree,  
and only one enterprise totally disagrees with this statement.  
(3) Enterprises always pay taxes fully and on time: 327 enterprises (90.8%) tend to agree with this  
statement. While 76.5% of enterprises show their complete agreement, only two enterprises  
indicate their complete disagreement with the third statement.  
(4) Enterprises always report their tax obligations accurately and completely (according to the content of  
arising economic operations): Nearly 94% of enterprises tend to agree, and only 1.1% of enterprises  
indicate their disagreement or complete disagreement with this statement.

Differences in tax compliance level  
The test results in Table 5 show no significant difference in tax compliance among groups of  
enterprises in terms of duration, type, working capital, number of employees, and revenue, and  
significant differences between enterprises in different tax assessment fields. Specifically, the  
average level of compliance with tax declaration in the construction sector is higher than that of  
enterprises in industry/manufacturing, trade/service, etc.

Conclusions and implications  
Based on data in Thua Thien Hue, we explored the support activities for SEMstax compliance  
and evaluated SMEstax compliance objectively and subjectively. The research shows that  
training and web portals are the most popular channels for SMEs to access tax information.  
Visiting or calling the tax authorities is the most popular activity to receive support and  
answered questions. Further, secondary data from the tax authorities indicate that the number  
of new registrations has increased over the years. All ratios related to tax declaration and tax  
reports have an increasing trend. However, the debt ratio in tax payment is still high compared  
with the limitation regulated by the tax authorities. The survey data also show a similar pattern  
of SMEstax compliance. The percentage of enterprises that agree that they comply adequately  
with tax registration, tax declaration, and tax reports is relatively high. Meanwhile, the rate of  
SMEs deciding that they always pay taxes fully and on time is slightly lower. There is no  
significant difference in tax compliance self-evaluation among groups of enterprises except a  
slightly higher difference from enterprises in the construction sector in evaluating the tax  
declaration.  
Based on these results, we proposed managerial and policy implications in improving tax  
compliance of small and medium enterprises.  
5.1  
Implications for tax authorities in tax management  
First, in terms of tax service models, the global trend of improving tax compliance for SMEs is  
based on tax authoritiessupport and guide forms. Therefore, tax authorities need to consider  
enhancing support activities for SMEs. Accordingly, tax authorities should provide complete  
tax information, quickly solve businessesproblems, and meet businessesrequirements to  
improve their tax compliance. In addition, tax authorities need to promptly deploy electronic  
tax services, such as tax declaration, tax payment, and tax reporting.  
Second, tax officers should be ready to provide tax services with early warnings to solve  
businessesproblems. Further, tax officers in internal functional departments of tax authorities  
should coordinate with external agencies, such as treasury and bank, to provide timely dossiers,  
quick guidance, and support and solve businesses’ problems.  
5.2  
Implications for SMEs to enhance tax compliance  
First, tax accountants of enterprises need to regularly update official tax service channels of tax  
authorities to minimise tax errors and tax risks leading to penalties for tax administrative  
violations. Tax guidance from tax authorities is considered the official information that provides  
various tax supports and new tax policies, including policies for SEMs. SMEs, therefore, need to  
proactively update their tax policies and request guidance from tax authorities to enhance their  
tax compliance.

Second, SMEs should regularly update tax declaration versions and electronic tax  
applications of tax authorities to implement tax compliance well. Besides, SMEs should  
periodically update information and change equipment to meet the digital transformation  
required by tax authorities.  
Finally, improving tax accountantscompetencies is a crucial requirement for SMEs to  
enhance tax compliance, thus minimising the risk of tax issues. Therefore, SMEs need to focus  
on building quality human resources for their tax accountants.
