As a result of the evaluation of the Provincial ISO Implementation Steering Committee chaired by the Department of Science and Technology in October, the provincial Tax Department was ranked as excellent in maintaining, applying and improving the quality management system according to the ISO standards.

However, there are still some administrative units of medium and weak quality. In these agencies and at some commune and ward levels, the maintenance of the quality management system according to ISO standards is not regular; The organization of internal assessment and process review is still formal and not guaranteed to be of good quality, the leadership's implementation direction is incomplete and not serious...

 In order to closely monitor and improve the application and maintenance of ISO in state agencies, and improve the efficiency of administrative reform, the Department of Science and Technology will regularly urge, periodically inspect and evaluate these agencies; propaganda to raise awareness and sense of responsibility of leaders, officials and civil servants in complying with ISO processes; promptly disseminate relevant documents, foster and train skills for cadres, civil servants and public employees. Instructing units to proactively develop and implement annual implementation plans, regularly self-check maintenance and application to promptly overcome difficulties and limitations; promptly update, amend and supplement the set of procedures currently applied to ensure quality, in line with the set of administrative procedures to handle the work of each agency according to its functions and tasks. Associate the maintenance and application of ISO with the application of information technology to accelerate the digital transformation process in state administrative agencies.
