Minister Dang Quoc Khanh said that the first land price list for construction will take a lot of effort and time, but the subsequent annual adjustments will be smooth.
Explaining some issues that delegates were interested in regarding the draft Land Law (amended) on the afternoon of June 21, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Dang Quoc Khanh said that the annual land price list will be developed for the first time, expected to be completed before December 31, 2025.
However, he admitted that the process of building the price list will be the most difficult, and it is necessary to apply methods to have "close and correct" land prices and submit them to the Provincial People's Council for approval. "In fact, we only build the land price list for the first time, and then every year we will update changes to the price list. But the construction process will take a lot of effort and time," said Mr. Khanh.

The draft proposes four methods of land valuation, including direct comparison; income; deduction and adjustment data. Many delegates said that too many valuation methods would lead to difficulties in management and easily lead to corruption and negativity.
Explaining this content, Minister Khanh said that one method is not enough to calculate land prices in all cases in practice. For example, the direct comparison method will be consistent with market principles and closest to market prices under the condition that input data is accurate.
Meanwhile, the deduction method is applied to land plots with assets attached to the land, using the same comparison method to determine land prices. The income method will be suitable for ethnic minority areas, disadvantaged areas, agricultural areas, and areas without land transactions. The adjustment coefficient method will be applied based on the annual land price list in places and areas with few transactions and relatively stable land prices.
The provincial People's Committee will decide which method to use based on the characteristics and conditions of the locality. Mr. Khanh said that the land price list will help ensure the correct calculation of taxes and fees payable for each real estate transaction, ensuring the harmony of interests of both buyers and sellers, especially avoiding losses for the State.
Commenting on the previous draft law, Standing member of the Committee for Science, Technology and Environment Tran Van Khai said that to determine land prices approaching market prices, it is necessary to have reliable and synchronous market data.
If applying the 4 methods as in the draft to the same plot of land, there will be 4 different results. Mr. Khai suggested that the drafting agency should add more specific regulations on methods and principles for determining land prices so that the National Assembly can discuss and give opinions to help clarify.
He suggested that it is possible to build a very simple land price method to quickly calculate land use rights value, avoiding the current situation of having to analyze and choose many methods.
Sharing the same view, delegate Phan Thi My Dung (Director of the Department of Justice of Long An province) proposed clarifying and making transparent the "market principle" in valuation to ensure the harmony of interests of the State, land users and investors.
Maintaining a reasonable level of land-related costs will create favorable conditions for sustainable business development, thereby creating jobs and income for workers, and sustainable revenue for the budget.
Delegate Tran Dinh Gia (Secretary of the Ky Anh District Party Committee, Ha Tinh Province) stated that the process of implementing planning, principles, procedures and methods for determining land prices still have many contradictions and are unreasonable. Land valuation is still qualitative, and land prices cannot be separated by land type of the same type. Similar socio-economic infrastructure conditions can have different prices.
He proposed classifying land into two types in the valuation process, including goods and means of production. Accordingly, land is a commodity that needs to be calculated according to the market mechanism. Land is a means of production that needs to be calculated according to the land price framework to ensure stability and fairness.
As planned, the revised Land Law will be considered for approval at the session at the end of 2023.
