Strong measures to ensure revenue

Many businessmen and business representatives have been asked by the Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department to be temporarily banned from leaving the country or temporarily suspended from leaving the country due to procrastination, late tax payment, and evasion of tax payment obligations.

Another measure that the Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department has taken many times is to publicize the list of businessmen and business representatives who are late in paying taxes in the media.

These measures are expected to impact the responsibility and self-esteem of the subjects. However, these seemingly strong measures have not yet been effective, the number of enterprises operating in production and business in Thanh Hoa province that are late in paying taxes continues to increase in large numbers, reaching nearly 850 billion VND as of May 31, 2024.

To strengthen collection measures, Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department has recently applied the measure of forcing the suspension of invoice use for 688 tax-paying organizations and individuals who still owe taxes and other revenues to the State budget. In this list, there are enterprises with huge tax debts such as FLC Group Corporation with a debt of more than 244.3 billion VND. Some other enterprises have tax debts of up to tens of billions of VND such as Hancorp.2 Construction Corporation; Phuong Anh Saigon Corporation; Poland - Bim Son Production and Trading Corporation with 30 billion VND; Construction Corporation No. 5...

Compulsory tax debt collection by suspending the use of invoices is one of the seven measures for compulsory tax debt collection that can be specifically regulated 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 forced invoice collection, if the enterprise still intentionally uses the forced invoice and still has sales transactions using the invoice, these invoices are considered illegal invoices.

Compulsory tax debt collection by stopping the use of invoices is a professional measure of the tax authority, but public opinion is very supportive, because tax is an important source of revenue for the national budget, everyone must be fair and timely in fulfilling their tax obligations, no group or individual can be lazy. Late tax payment will cause the risk of financial shortage, negatively affecting the management of the State budget.
