Focus on bringing tax policy into life

The provincial Tax Department is focusing on implementing the State's support policies to ensure maximum benefits for taxpayers, contributing to reducing financial pressures, helping them maintain and develop production and business, voluntarily fulfill their tax obligations and nurture revenue sources.

Actively advise and guide taxpayers

On social networking platforms such as Zalo, the tax industry's Fanpage, it is easy to follow many interactions between organizations, individuals, businesses and tax authorities. Here, many questions related to the State's support policies in the tax field have been answered, consulted and guided promptly by the tax authorities.

According to the Tax Department of Region XIII, many tax policies will take effect in 2025, notably a 2% reduction in value added tax (VAT); a 50% reduction in environmental protection tax on gasoline and oil; a 50% reduction in registration fees for domestically produced and assembled cars. In addition, there is a policy to extend the deadline for paying VAT, personal income tax, corporate income tax and land rent; and refund personal income tax and VAT for businesses.

Actively implementing tax reduction policies will reduce the provincial budget revenue by about VND 750 billion, but in return, it will help taxpayers overcome difficulties, maintain and develop production and business. This is also a way for taxpayers to have more confidence in the State's commitment to actively support enterprises. Thereby, fulfilling tax obligations well, helping tax authorities complete the budget revenue target for 2025 and creating sustainable revenue sources. Therefore, the whole industry has focused on human resources and promoted the ecosystem of information technology applications to quickly bring support policies into life, ensuring maximum benefits for taxpayers.

In that spirit, the tax authorities promptly reviewed and classified each beneficiary as soon as the draft support policies were available; at the same time, they anticipated difficulties and obstacles when the policies were applied, especially new and noteworthy points, thereby quickly connecting and transmitting information for taxpayers to know early. When the policies took effect, the entire industry widely and fully disseminated the content of each policy to taxpayers, helping taxpayers access and clearly understand the scope, subjects, deadlines, procedures and implementation procedures. Along with that, direct and online dialogue conferences were organized to provide specific advice and guidance on issues related to support policies.

Mr. Nguyen Duong Han, Deputy Head of Business Support Management Department No. 1 (Tax Department of Region XIII), said: In the first quarter of 2025, we received and directly consulted 781 taxpayers and answered and guided hundreds of taxpayers via Zalo and Fanpage, helping them complete many tax-related issues anytime, anywhere with an internet connection.

Ensure maximum benefits for taxpayers

Mr. Nguyen Danh Nhan, Director of Co.opmart in Binh Dinh, said: Applying the policy of reducing 2% VAT not only ensures the rights of consumers but also stimulates the consumer market, creating motivation for Co.opmart in Binh Dinh to develop business. We have used sales software to support invoice issuance, so the classification and identification of business items in the list of goods and services eligible for VAT reduction is very fast and accurate. Currently, there are dozens of groups of goods of the Co.opmart system in Binh Dinh that have reduced 2% VAT in accordance with regulations.

Along with concretizing tax reduction policies, the tax authority also actively extended the tax payment and refund deadline by electronic means, ensuring legitimate rights for enterprises, creating conditions for enterprises to have more capital to reinvest in production and business. In the first quarter of 2025, the tax authority received and promptly processed 94 tax refund dossiers for enterprises with an amount of more than 442.7 billion VND, with no late dossiers.

In the list of enterprises receiving tax refunds in the first quarter of 2025, Phu Tai Bioenergy Joint Stock Company (Phu Tai Industrial Park, Quy Nhon City) ranked first in both the number of times and the amount of tax refunds (over 72.3 billion VND). According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong, General Director of the Company, depending on the amount of tax refund, enterprises request tax authorities to flexibly refund taxes monthly or quarterly. Particularly, Phu Tai Bioenergy Joint Stock Company often requests tax authorities to refund taxes monthly. Tax refund procedures are carried out electronically, smoothly and quickly, helping enterprises quickly recover capital for continued reinvestment.

Many other enterprises also appreciate the proactive way of consulting and timely support of the tax sector. Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Deputy Head of the Tax Department of Region XIII, said: There are some policies that affect taxpayers, but there are also policies that have a strong and direct impact on a certain group of subjects. In addition, the time for implementing the policy is short, if delayed, it will cause disadvantages to beneficiaries, so the Department will continue to wholeheartedly accompany taxpayers to provide timely and accurate support, so that the State's support policies reach each beneficiary, ensuring maximum benefits for taxpayers.
