Many businesspeople and business representatives have been recommended by the Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department to the competent authorities for temporary or permanent travel bans due to tax evasion and failure to pay taxes.
Another measure that the Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department has repeatedly implemented is to publicly disclose the list of business owners and business representatives who are late in paying taxes through the media.
These measures were hoped to influence the sense of responsibility and self-respect of the subjects. However, these seemingly strong measures have not yet had an effect, and the number of businesses operating in Thanh Hoa province that are late in paying taxes continues to increase significantly, reaching nearly 850 billion VND as of May 31, 2024.
To strengthen tax collection efforts, the Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department recently implemented coercive measures to suspend the use of invoices for 688 organizations and individuals who still owe taxes and other payments to the State budget. This list includes businesses with very large tax debts, such as FLC Group Joint Stock Company, owing over 244.3 billion VND. Other businesses have outstanding tax debts amounting to tens of billions of VND, including Hancorp.2 Construction Joint Stock Company; Phuong Anh Saigon Joint Stock Company; Ba Lan - Bim Son Production and Trading Joint Stock Company (30 billion VND); and Construction Company No. 5...
Enforcing tax debt recovery by suspending the use of invoices is one of the seven tax debt recovery enforcement measures specifically stipulated in Clause 1, Article 125 of the Law on Tax Administration No. 38/2019/QH14, effective from December 5, 2020.
According to regulations, during the period of invoice enforcement, if a business intentionally continues to use the enforced invoices and still conducts transactions using them, these invoices will be considered illegal.
Enforcing tax debt collection by suspending the use of invoices is a professional measure of the tax authorities, but it is widely supported by the public because taxes are a crucial source of revenue for the national budget. Everyone must fairly and promptly fulfill their tax obligations; no group or individual should be negligent. Late tax payments risk causing financial shortages that negatively impact the state's budget management.
