In 2021, the People’s Council resolution set state budget
collection target in the province at 5.070 billion VND, an increase by 711,6
billion VND from estimates allocated by the Prime Minister (PM), including
domestic revenues of 4.820 billion VND, import-export tax revenues of 250
billion VND. The set target is by all means a hard task given the complex
COVID-19 pandemic creating widespread disruptions. The revenue collection was
also impacted by the implementation of Decree No. 52/2021/ND-CP on tax payment
and land rental deferrals. Moreover, the water levels of Hoa Binh Reservoir
plummeted, leading to drastic drops in power generation, meaning massive
decreases in budget revenues.
Early grasp of challenges as well as clarity in determining
state budget collection as the core political tasks steered the provincial
Party and People’s Committees to promulgate Resolution No. 02-NQ/TU on May 31
2021 to set guidelines for the revenues creation and collection during
2021-2025 period. Departments, sectors, localities are directed to collaborate
closely with tax authorities in state budget collection.
By the end of November, import-export tax revenue alone
reached over 380 billion VND, 190% of assigned estimates by the PM. Domestic
revenues reached 3.570,8 billion, or 86% of estimates by the Government.
Compared to targets set by the provincial authorities, 11 out of 17 categories
of revenues boasted higher than average collection rates, some impressive
increases.
The
Provincial Tax Department is boosting efforts and solutions, including
increased crackdowns trade frauds and smugglings, to outperform the set targets
of state budget collection in the remaining days of the year.
