Vietnam has made it easier for foreign suppliers to pay taxes online. In H1 2026, 259 suppliers paid over VND 12.5 trillion through its tax portal.
Despite this progress, an analysis on Vietnam’s government portal highlights three challenges: establishing actual turnover across domestic and foreign platforms, tracing cross-border transactions and payments, and ensuring sellers register and meet their tax obligations.
Imagine how much more of the tax already due could be collected if authorities could independently verify reported turnover against transaction records in real time.

In talks with the @IMFNews and @WorldBankGroup, Yurii Koniushenko emphasized Ukraine’s goal of stable, predictable budget revenues.
N-Soft’s independent transaction supervision has helped authorities in several countries verify declared revenues and narrow tax compliance gaps. Collecting more of the tax already due at existing rates could give Ukraine a steadier flow of receipts and more certainty when planning public spending.

South Africa’s proposed 20% online gambling tax highlights a practical challenge: setting a rate must go hand in hand with ensuring accurate reporting and effective collection. This requires access to transaction data and independent revenue verification to establish taxes due.

Behind every measurable result is a team combining technical expertise, local knowledge, and experience gained across markets.
From Sierra Leone to Cameroon, our teams turn technology into impact by adapting their expertise to each country's challenges.
Our Chairman, Roger Zini, highlights the people who make it possible.
Technology doesn't deliver results on its own. People do.
From Sierra Leone to Cameroon, N-Soft's impact reflects the expertise of teams working across countries and sectors.
What makes the difference? Sharing knowledge, understanding local challenges, and turning technology into measurable results.

An audit in North Macedonia found no supervisory system to monitor stakes, payouts, turnover, and revenues from electronic games of chance.
GovTech can help by combining officials’ understanding of legal and supervisory requirements with technology teams’ ability to build effective tools.
Real-time visibility into operator revenues, supporting greater confidence in taxes due, is a tangible outcome we can work towards together.

There’s a fine line between maximizing gambling tax revenue and achieving the opposite.
With 77% of Africa’s online gambling GGR outside the regulated market, higher taxes may push players offshore.

What would a tax stamp look like in the digital economy?
Tax stamps help prevent revenue leakage on physical goods. Digital services require a different mechanism, but governments still need independent visibility into transactions and taxes due to secure public revenues.
▶ Watch our video to see why we call N-Soft the digital equivalent of a tax stamp.

Digital reporting alone does not ensure revenue visibility. Our CEO, Roger Zini, shares why independent verification matters for mobilizing revenues under existing tax rules.
When considering how to raise public revenues, I start with the untapped potential under existing rules.
An analysis on @ADB_HQ's @DevelopmentAsia platform estimates that sustained tax administration reforms can generate an additional 2–3 percentage points of GDP.
Within that effort, I prioritize independent verification. Electronic filing simplifies reporting but does not necessarily provide visibility into actual economic activity. Reliable transaction data can strengthen revenue transparency and support collection of the taxes already due. That is where I see the opportunity to turn tax policy into measurable revenue.

We’ve just returned from Bangkok, with fresh perspectives and valuable connections from the @IMFNews & @WorldBankGroup Annual Meetings.
Representing N-Soft, our Vice President, Arik Zenouda, spent the week attending key sessions and exchanging views with government officials, revenue authority leaders and representatives of international institutions from around the world.
These conversations brought global fiscal priorities into a practical context: the challenges institutions face in mobilizing revenues and the role GovTech can play in addressing them.
Our October newsletter brings together highlights from Arik’s exchanges, photos from the week and insights from the discussions on tax administration and digital public finance.

What is the link between tax collection and development?
We hand-collected new data on the cost of tax collection across 100 countries, historically, and across subnational states.
💡There is a strong positive correlation between efficiency of tax collection and development 1/
Closing tax compliance gaps is possible. Our CEO, Roger Zini, reflects on what it takes.
Why are governments still struggling to collect taxes already due?
The @IMFNews estimates that low-income countries’ VAT compliance gap averages 41% of potential VAT revenue, equivalent to approximately 3 percentage points of GDP. In some countries, it approaches 60%.
Encouragingly, gaps narrowed by an average of 4.5 percentage points in low-income developing economies between 2010 and 2023. Countries are making greater progress with combined risk management, digitalization, and better use of data.
Digitalization is an important step, but it doesn't automatically translate into better tax collection. GovTech can help independently establish actual revenues from transaction records.
I remain optimistic. Governments have increasingly powerful tools at their disposal. The next challenge is ensuring that better visibility translates into measurable revenue collection.

At #IAGR2026 in Lima, the concept of a “single point of truth” emphasized the importance of bringing regulatory data together into one consistent, reliable source. This gives authorities a clearer basis for identifying risks, checking compliance, and supervising gaming operators.
N-Soft’s Gambling Management System (GMS) contributes to this goal through independent, real-time monitoring of online gambling transactions, helping regulators verify operators’ reported activity and accurately assess taxes due.

GovTech should deliver measurable impact.
N-Soft helps governments strengthen revenue mobilization through fast implementation, real-time revenue visibility, and end-to-end support-delivering initial results within an average of 13 weeks.
Technology that works. Results that matter.

That's a wrap! 🌍
N-Soft participated in the @IMFNews & @WorldBankGroup Annual Meetings for the third time, this year in Bangkok, Thailand.
Our Vice President, Arik Zenouda, attended key sessions, including Kristalina Georgieva's Global Policy Agenda briefing, and exchanged perspectives with government officials and international institutions.
These conversations brought N-Soft’s practical GovTech approach to domestic revenue mobilization into focus: helping governments collect revenues due without raising tax rates.
77% of Africa’s online gambling market remains unregulated, representing $17.8B in GGR and an estimated $3.55B in lost tax revenue.
In Burundi, N-Soft’s technology has already contributed to a 552% increase in gambling excise revenue in just 6 months. That is one example of how digital transparency can help unlock more public revenue across Africa.
