Land price list needs to clearly distinguish the collection rates for non-agricultural land and service land.

There are 25 provinces and cities that have adjusted and issued new land price lists according to market principles, but the grouping of non-agricultural land that is not residential land or commercial and service land into one group for land fee collection is making it difficult for people and businesses.

According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the number of localities adjusting and issuing new land price lists will continue to increase in the coming time.

Clearly define the collection rate for each type of land.

Ms. Vu Lan Anh - Deputy General Director of CEO Group - said that according to the provisions of the 2024 Land Law, commercial and service land is land for building commercial and service establishments and other works serving business, trade and services, including tourism and resort works and facilities such as hotels, tourist villas and tourist apartments.

"The 2024 Land Law also stipulates that the construction of land price lists based on market principles must be carried out according to the principle of harmonizing interests between the State, land users, investors and practical application.

But in reality, localities often collect one-time land rent for commercial service land at high levels.

High prices for commercial and service land do not encourage investment in tourism and resort projects on commercial and service land. To harmonize the interests between the State and investors, it is necessary to consider determining the price of commercial and service land at about 20% - 40% compared to the price of residential land," Ms. Vu Lan Anh suggested.

Discussing this issue, Mr. Le Hoang Chau - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association - stated: Clause 4, Article 5, Decree 102 of 2024 of the Government guiding the implementation of the 2024 Land Law stipulates that land for construction of public works is divided into many types such as: land for construction of cultural works, social facilities, health care, education, sports...

In addition, non-agricultural production and business land is also divided into types: industrial park land, industrial clusters, commercial service land, non-agricultural production facility land and land used for mineral activities.

Mr. Chau added: "This shows the need for specific regulations on land use fees corresponding to each type of land, especially land used for educational, medical and sports purposes.

But currently, many localities have not yet fully issued these regulations, and provincial regulations have not been completed, causing difficulties in implementing the law synchronously and effectively."

It is not correct to group into one group.

Sharing about the construction of local land price lists in recent times, Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Cuong, member of the National Assembly's Finance and Budget Committee, said that the Land Law aims to determine specific land prices for each plot of land, so some localities grouping non-agricultural land other than residential land with commercial and service land into one group to determine a common price in the price list is incorrect, even careless. The law and decree do not stipulate this.

According to Mr. Cuong, valuation must be based on the specific land use purpose of each type of land. On the other hand, the Land Law has delegated power to localities not only in land valuation but also in land finance regulation.

"Regarding land leasing, if the land price in the land price list increases, affecting businesses and attracting investment, the locality can completely apply a lower land rental price, at least 0.25% (according to Decree 103/2024/ND-CP of the Government) in necessary cases. Projects that need to prioritize economic development will collect a low rate, projects that do not have a priority will collect a higher rate," Mr. Cuong emphasized.

According to Mr. Le Van Binh - Deputy Director of the Department of Land, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the 2024 Land Law removes the land price framework so that localities can issue price lists. Accordingly, the 2024 Land Law stipulates that the provincial People's Committee is responsible for submitting the land price list to the People's Council for decision. This shows that the regulations are becoming more and more professional, clearly defining the responsibilities of each agency.

"Land valuation of real estate projects (housing, resort real estate) does not apply the land price list but is determined according to specific land prices. For projects such as industrial parks that pay annual land rent, the annual price list is applied, other cases will be auctioned and bid.

For businesses that rent land and pay land rent annually, when the land price increases, their costs will increase. However, Clause 2, Article 153 of the 2024 Land Law has stipulated stable land rent for cases of land rent with annual payment. Accordingly, the adjustment to increase land rent will not exceed the rate prescribed by the Government in each period," Mr. Binh added.
