The Ministry of Finance responded to a question about whether an individual whose only activity is property rental (using tax declaration form 01/BDS) must notify the tax authority of their bank account number (form 01/BK-STK), pursuant to Article 13(4) of Decree 68/2026/ND-CP and Article 4(1)(d) of Circular 18/2026/TT-BTC. Based on the Ministry of Finance's written response shown in the official image: The MoF cited Article 13(4) of Decree 68/2026/ND-CP and Article 4 of Circular 18/2026/TT-BTC to indicate that the bank account notification requirement applies to household businesses and individual traders using form 01/CNKD. Individuals whose only activity is property rental and who use form 01/BDS fall under a different category; they should refer specifically to the guidance in Circular 18/2026/TT-BTC and contact the local Tax Department for specific guidance.
