Speaking at the workshop, journalist Le Trong Minh, Editor-in-Chief of Investment Newspaper, said that any changes in taxes are always of special interest to the business community and the whole society. Tax increases or decreases not only directly impact the State budget because taxes are the main source of revenue, but also create effects that promote or inhibit certain business sectors due to the role of taxes in managing and regulating the macro economy.

“The workshop aims to create forums for policy makers to listen, exchange and discuss with experts, researchers and especially an important subject of the economy, which is businesses, so that when tax policies are planned, there will be more feedback channels from reality, thereby achieving harmony of interests including mobilizing more sources of state budget revenue, regulating production, consumption and income according to the actual situation but still ensuring a stable investment and business environment, promoting production and business activities, creating new tax revenue areas in line with international practices”, the Editor-in- Chief of Investment Newspaper shared.
At the workshop, the discussion focused on a special tax related to the beer - alcohol - beverage industry, estimated to contribute about 60 trillion VND, equivalent to about 3.4% of the State budget revenue in 2023. Delegates also commented on the draft Law on Special Consumption Tax, which is expected to be commented on by the 15th National Assembly at the 8th session (October 2024) and approved at the 9th session (May 2025) to regulate the amount of use and limit alcohol/beer abuse.
Some delegates shared about the appropriate tax increase roadmap to ensure the goals of regulating consumption, reducing the negative impacts of alcoholic beverages on human health; ensuring stable and sustainable revenue for the state budget; and ensuring fairness of tax policies for society and businesses, protecting the domestic beverage industry.
The workshop contributed to the analysis and interpretation from the representatives of the participating parties, providing more scientific arguments and profound practical experiences, making reasonable and practical proposals for policy makers to create a reasonable tax, achieve the set goals, harmonize the interests of the state, enterprises and society, and stabilize the investment and business environment.
