Recent lending operations for revenue administrations in Vietnam have led to some rethinking of these calculations. This Note shares their findings and it also provides some pointers that may be useful in estimating the economic benefits of revenue reform projects. Earlier estimates and their shortcomings are closely looked at, as well as customs administration and tax administration. This guidance can also assist in preparation of the technical annex of the financial and economic analysis of individual projects as required by World Bank guidelines.CC BY 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE COSTSCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH FLOWCOMPETITIVENESSCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCUSTOMSCUSTOMS MODERNIZATIONDEBTDEBT FINANCINGDOMESTIC PRODUCERSECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC RATE OF RETURNEUROPEAN UNIONEXPORTEXPORT GROWTHEXPORTSFISCAL MANAGEMENTGDPGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTINCOMEINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVENTORYINVESTMENT PROJECTSPORT OF ENTRYPORTS OF ENTRYPOTENTIAL BENEFITSPRESENT VALUEREVENUE MOBILIZATIONSOCIAL WELFARETAXTAX AUDITSTAX LIABILITYTAX PAYERTAX POLICYTAX REVENUETAX REVENUESTAXATIONTAXPAYERTAXPAYERSTRADE BARRIERTRADE BARRIERSTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRANSPORTWELFARE ECONOMICSWorld Bank10.1596/11169
