2\. The date of tax payment is determined as the day when the tax is deposited into the Treasury according to the receipt (if paid directly in cash) or the day when the bank has processed the transfer of funds from the enterprise's account to the Customs authority (if paid through a bank).
3\. Processing exemption from late payment penalties: The local Customs authority shall base its decision on the amount of overdue tax debt paid, the date of payment, and the request of the enterprise to exempt late payment penalties.
4\. In cases where an enterprise falls under the category eligible for exemption from late payment penalties as stipulated in Circular No. 1302/CP-KTTH dated December 10, 1999 issued by the Government but has already paid the late payment penalty into the State budget since December 10, 1999, such payments will be refunded.
5\. Handling violations: As of January 1, 2000, if an enterprise still owes taxes, it shall be handled according to Article 1, Point 5 of Law Amending and Supplementing Certain Provisions of the Export Tax and Import Tax Law No. 04/1998/QH10 and related guiding documents.
6\. Handling penalties for delayed payment of special consumption tax and value-added tax on imported goods shall also be carried out in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this circular.
