According to the Department of Finance, the estimated budget revenue in the first quarter of 2025 in the province is 5,575 billion VND, reaching 27% of the central budget estimate and 22% of the local budget estimate; of which domestic revenue is estimated at 5,175 billion VND, reaching 27% of the central budget estimate and 21% of the local budget estimate; import and export tax revenue is estimated at 400 billion VND, reaching 25% of the central and local budget estimates. In particular, in the first quarter, revenue from taxes, fees and charges achieved high results, estimated at 4,170 billion VND, reaching 45% of the central and local budget estimates; land use fee revenue is estimated at 1,000 billion VND, reaching 10% of the central budget estimate.

To achieve the above results, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee have directed the entire political system to focus on implementing solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles, creating a favorable environment for investment, production and business activities. Functional departments, branches and localities have been proactive in advising local Party committees and authorities on solutions to collect state budget in the area. Revenues from taxes, fees and charges have increased because functional branches have actively coordinated with businesses, removed difficulties for production and business, urged outstanding collections, promoted production development, and resolutely handled businesses and business households with long-term budget arrears. With the above approach, many localities have achieved high results in collecting state budget from the local economy, contributing to improving the efficiency of budget revenue sources.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hang, Head of the Thanh Liem - Binh Luc Tax Team, said: In the first quarter of 2025, the total domestic revenue in Thanh Liem and Binh Luc districts managed by the tax sector was more than 719,858 million VND, reaching 28% of the district's plan and 31% of the plan assigned by the tax sector. Of the above total revenue, the total revenue from land use fees was more than 325 billion VND, reaching 39.8% of the plan assigned by the tax sector. This is a favorable condition for Thanh Liem and Binh Luc districts to strive to complete the annual budget collection plan. In the second quarter, the Thanh Liem - Binh Luc Tax Department continued to guide enterprises in completing tax exemption and reduction procedures according to regulations; focused on removing difficulties and obstacles for enterprises; strengthened management of revenue from enterprises, ensuring correct and sufficient collection, and no tax arrears; Organize strict control over tax declaration, deduction, exemption, tax payment extension and urge budget collection according to regulations, strive to complete the set plan.

In addition to the achieved results, the budget revenue in the first quarter of 2025 in the province still has limitations. Specifically, some revenue targets have not reached the estimate such as: revenue from granting mineral exploitation rights; non-agricultural land use tax, other revenue and land use fee. The reason is that some revenue from granting mineral exploitation rights and non-agricultural land use tax are collected according to the annual periodic deadline, because the payment deadline has not yet come, there has not been any revenue to the budget. Another reason is that the sluggishness of the real estate market also affects land use fee revenue...

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga, Head of the General Department (Department of Finance), the whole province strives to achieve a state budget balance of VND 13,560 billion in the first 6 months of 2025, reaching 65% of the central estimate and 52% of the local estimate. Of the total revenue, domestic revenue strives to reach VND 12,760 billion (of which, revenue from taxes and fees is VND 7,751 billion; land use fees are VND 5,000 billion - PV); import-export tax revenue is VND 800 billion. To soon complete the above plan, the Department of Finance continues to advise the Provincial People's Committee to direct sectors and localities to focus on removing difficulties for production and business; speed up the construction progress, complete procedures for land use rights auction areas, quickly hand over clean land to investors; urge businesses to pay the budget according to regulations. Specialized agencies coordinate with enterprises to closely monitor each subject with long-term budget arrears, promptly disseminate, remind and take resolute measures against organizations and individuals who deliberately delay paying the budget according to regulations, gradually limiting the situation of long-term budget arrears.

In addition to the above solutions, all levels and sectors should pay attention to further improving the effectiveness of propaganda work, effectively disseminating tax policies to people and taxpayers; thereby raising the awareness of self-compliance with tax obligations of economic sectors, especially regulations on the use of invoices and new tax policies. In addition, tax authorities coordinate with local specialized agencies to promote the prevention and combat of trade fraud, combat revenue loss and strictly control state budget revenue, especially in the fields of trade and services... striving to complete and exceed the state budget revenue plan in the second quarter of 2025 in accordance with the direction of the province.
