Difficulty on top of difficulty
Right from the beginning of the year, all levels, sectors, units and localities, especially the tax sector, have proactively implemented budget collection solutions such as: organizing meetings of the Provincial State Budget Collection Steering Committee, on that basis, proposing collection solutions for each field, region, enterprise, locality, production and business household; effectively implementing the one-stop mechanism with the Provincial Public Administration Service Center and departments and sectors to create the most favorable conditions for taxpayers; actively propagating and supporting taxpayers; promoting the application of information technology in implementing tax administrative procedures; focusing on tax inspection and examination; strengthening the management of collection of temporary construction tax, e-commerce tax, propagating taxpayers to implement electronic invoices generated from cash registers... However, the budget collection results in the first months of the year were low. Of the 16 revenue targets managed by the tax sector, most were lower than the estimate, such as: environmental protection tax collected VND147 billion, reaching 4.45% of the estimate; revenue from granting mineral exploitation rights was only over VND5 billion, reaching 13.16% of the estimate; land use fee collection reached nearly VND787 billion, reaching 31.48% of the estimate; revenue from the non-state economic sector reached VND803 billion, reaching 38.2% of the estimate; registration fee collection was over VND154 billion, reaching 39.9% of the estimate.
Mr. Do Hong Nam, Director of the Provincial Tax Department, said: The reason for the low budget revenue in the first months of the year is that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine caused fuel prices to increase, affecting the production and business activities of enterprises, reducing the tax revenue by an estimated 200 billion VND; the real estate market is sluggish, and real estate investment loans are restricted, so some projects were not successfully implemented when auctioned, some projects had auction results but investors did not have a source to pay the budget. Along with that, the Government's policy of reducing and extending tax payments to support people and businesses to recover and grow the economy has greatly affected the revenue generated locally. Specifically, the policy of reducing 30% of land rent in 2022 with an amount of more than 51 billion VND of 967 records, it is expected to continue to reduce 30% of land rent in 2023 with an estimated amount of more than 51 billion VND; Resolution No. 30/2022/UBTVQH15 reducing environmental protection tax by 50% has caused the tax revenue generated in the first 4 months of 2023 to decrease by VND 781 billion compared to the same period in 2022. In addition, some revenue items have been low so far because the payment deadline has not yet come, including collection of mineral exploitation rights fees, collection of sea area fees, recovery of after-tax profits...
