Notably, Hai Ha Petro was "named and shamed" for tax debt not long after the Thai Binh Provincial Tax Department sent a notice to the Immigration Department - Ministry of Public Security requesting a temporary suspension of exit for Ms. Tran Tuyet Mai, the legal representative of Hai Ha Petro.

The reason for the temporary suspension of exit is that this enterprise is being forced to execute an administrative decision on tax management and has not yet fulfilled its tax obligations. The temporary suspension of exit is from August 30, 2023 until Hai Ha Petro fulfills its tax obligations.
