Conference delegates.

In recent years, the exploitation and processing of natural resources has contributed to accelerating the construction progress of key projects in the province, creating momentum for economic growth, contributing to increasing the State budget revenue.

The state budget revenue from enterprises engaged in natural resource exploitation activities accounts for a large proportion of the total annual state budget revenue. In 2024, the province will have 306 enterprises engaged in natural resource exploitation activities, contributing nearly 1,900 billion VND to the state budget.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tho, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, Chairman of Thanh Hoa Stone Association spoke at the conference.

In addition to the achieved results, the work of tax management and prevention of tax losses for natural resource exploitation activities at units under the Provincial Tax Department in the past time still has some shortcomings and limitations. Specifically, there is still a situation where natural resource exploitation enterprises have not strictly complied with the provisions of tax law in declaring and paying taxes. Acts of false declaration, under-declaration, incorrect declaration of resource types, and untimely declaration of actual natural resource exploitation output to calculate taxes and fees are still common; many cases of declaring the price for calculating natural resource tax are not according to the selling price on the invoice, declaring a price lower than the price for calculating natural resource tax as prescribed by the Provincial People's Committee. In addition, there is also a situation of determining the wrong fee level; using illegal invoices, illegal invoices to cheat and evade taxes and fees.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thuy, Head of Thanh Hoa Province Tax Department, spoke at the conference.

At the conference, businesses raised difficulties in declaring and paying natural resource tax. At the same time, Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department representatives discussed and specifically answered the difficulties and problems of businesses; as well as disseminated and propagated a number of legal regulations related to natural resource exploitation activities.

Comrade Nguyen Van Thi, Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee delivered a speech at the conference.

"Thanh Hoa province will direct strict handling in accordance with the provisions of the law, with no exceptions for cases of intentional violations, tax evasion, tax avoidance, causing loss of state budget revenue."
