(HBĐT) – The provincial tax department, on January 5, held a conference to review its 2021 performance and deploy tasks for 2022. Attending the event were Quach Tat Liem, Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee; and Dang Ngoc Minh, Deputy General Director of the General Department of Taxation.
Quach Tat Liem, Vice
Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee, presents the committee’s
certificates of merit to organisations and individuals with outstanding
performances in the taxation sector.
In 2021, given COVID-19-induced difficulties,
the provincial department decided to focus on tackling obstacles facing tax
payers. As a result, the local total state budget revenue reached 5.168
trillion VND (227.5 million USD), 24.3 percent higher than Government estimate
and up 35.4 percent annually.
Implementing the Government’s tax support
policies for people and businesses affected by COVID-19 last year, the
department extended the deadline for the payment of tax and land rent worth
about 179 billion VND, while reporting 45 billion VND worth of tax exemption
and reduction.
In 2022, the province is assigned to collect a
budget revenue of 3.582 trillion VND by the Government and the Ministry of
Finance; and of 6.095 trillion VND by the provincial Party Committee, People's
Council, and People's Committee. The tax department has set out four key task
and four groups of solutions to reach the goals.
Addressing the function, Minh and Liem requested
the entire sector to closely follow directions of the General Department of
Taxation and local authorities as well as the local socio-economic development
in fulfilling their assigned tasks.
Liem noted that it is necessary to capitalise on
the province’s potentials for boosting investment attraction and creating
sustainable incomes.
Increasing inspection and examination works is
also needed to prevent revenue loss, reduce tax-related debts, and meet the
targets, he added./.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
