Accordingly, from April 1, 2025, Resolution No. 170/2024 of the National Assembly on specific mechanisms and policies to remove difficulties and obstacles for projects and land in the inspection and examination conclusions in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Khanh Hoa province officially takes effect. In which, two projects of Novaland Group in Ho Chi Minh City will be removed after many years of waiting.
According to this Resolution, the problems related to land use fees at Novaland's Lakeview City project (Thu Duc City) will be officially resolved. Another project is the 30.224ha area of Binh Khanh Ward (Thu Duc City) which is the land that Novaland was compensated for when the state reclaimed the 30.224ha land area of Binh Khanh Ward for a resettlement project.
For these two projects, Resolution No. 170/2024 of the National Assembly clearly states the plan to determine land prices as the basis for collecting land use fees. Accordingly, the total land rent and land use fees payable for the Lakeview City project is nearly VND 5,176 billion based on the tax authority's announcement on January 8, 2021, which will be re-determined.
For the area of land exchanged corresponding to the amount of money the investor has invested in the 30.224ha land plot in Binh Khanh ward up to 2008 (compensation, support, and construction investment costs have been audited and appraised), the time to determine the land price is the time of completion of land recovery and compensation for the 30.224ha land plot in Binh Khanh ward (2008).
For the land area for which land use fees have not been paid, the time for determining land price is the time when the competent state agency issues a decision to allocate land for the 30.106ha Nam Rach Chiec land area (2017).

Thus, with this decision, from April 1, 2025, Ho Chi Minh City departments and branches will organize implementation according to procedures to thoroughly handle and remove difficulties and obstacles for the Lakeview City project. When the land rent and land use fees of the Lakeview City project are specifically determined, Novaland will have a basis to fulfill the financial obligations of this project, as a basis for issuing certificates to project residents as soon as possible.
In particular, the provision of VND 4,358 billion for the Lakeview City project for Novaland's 2024 semi-annual financial report, according to the auditor's own opinion, will be adjusted and reversed when eligible in 2025. This is the basis for Novaland to have a strong source of cash to implement upcoming business plans, as well as ensure the fulfillment of obligations to related parties.
According to a leader of Novaland Group, the removal of the Lakeview City project is the result of the direction of the Government and ministries, departments and branches, a legal boost, creating confidence for the business community in the general policy of the Government in directing drastic removal of legal problems for projects that are still stuck. At the same time, it is a launching pad for Novaland to recover and accelerate after a challenging period. This result also reflects Novaland's efforts and determination in removing legal problems of the project. Currently, most of Novaland's key projects have reached important legal milestones, moving towards legal completion, restoring implementation, construction and handover activities.
