Unlocking land resources contributes to increased budget revenue.

Việt Nam•16/04/2024

Land is a crucial resource in socio-economic development; therefore, resolving difficulties and obstacles related to land to create breakthroughs, thereby increasing state budget revenue from land and contributing to the province's economic growth, has always been identified by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (TN&MT) as a key priority task to focus on.

Looking back at 2023, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment advised the Provincial People's Committee to issue the Plan for collecting land use fees for the provincial budget in 2023 and approved specific land prices for calculating land use fees and land lease fees when allocating land, leasing land, changing land use purposes, and auctioning land use rights for a number of new urban area projects, tourism projects, and BT projects. Based on that, in 2023, 216.57 billion VND was collected, reaching 108.3% of the provincial budget's land use fee collection plan (200 billion VND).

Projects implemented in Phan Rang - Thap Cham City contribute to increasing budget revenue.

To strive to complete the collection of land use fees for the provincial budget in 2024, achieving and exceeding the target of 632.5 billion VND set by the Provincial People's Council and People's Committee, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment will coordinate with relevant units from the beginning of 2024 to review and identify projects that will collect land use fees for the provincial budget in 2024. This will allow them to advise the Provincial People's Committee on issuing an implementation plan. Based on this, the focus will be on land valuation and land use fee collection to ensure the target is met and exceeded. Besides carrying over to 2024 the projects identified in the 2023 land use fee collection plan but not yet completed, new revenue sources for 2024 will focus on new urban areas and residential areas that are currently underway or preparing for implementation, such as: Dinh Riverbank New Urban Area, Khanh Hai New Urban Area, North Ong River New Urban Area, Northwest New Urban Area, Northeast New Urban Area (K3 Area),... to supplement the 2024 land use fee collection plan and ensure feasibility.

Direct the Provincial Land Development Center to continue organizing auctions for the allocation of land with land use fees or land leases for land areas managed by the State. In particular, auction the land use rights for the Khanh Hai New Urban Area - the Khanh Hai Stadium land area.

Strengthen, improve, and update knowledge through various forms of training to further enhance the capacity of officials and civil servants working in land valuation, ensuring they meet the requirements of the assigned tasks. Drawing on lessons learned from recent projects in the area, resolutely refuse to allocate land based on the progress of compensation and site clearance. Land allocation for projects will only be carried out according to the land use progress of the project and must ensure the entire plot is allocated and meets all conditions for land valuation.

Continue to coordinate with the construction sector and localities to review and fully update residential and urban area projects according to the zoning plan and detailed construction plan into the land use plan and schedule to serve as a basis for organizing investment attraction through bidding and auctioning and implementing land use conversion; coordinate with the People's Committees of districts and cities to review and advise the Provincial People's Committee to submit to the Provincial People's Council for approval the list of projects requiring land acquisition and conversion of land use from rice cultivation and forest land to build annual land use plans at the district level, serving as a basis for organizing land acquisition, land allocation, land leasing, and land use conversion.

Publicly disclose and effectively implement land use plans and schemes. Strengthen inspection and supervision of the implementation of land use plans and schemes; promptly detect and handle violations of land use and illegal land use conversion; resolutely reclaim land in case of violations or inefficient land use for auction or reallocation to other units for more efficient land use. Strengthen construction planning management to promptly detect and handle the collection of land use fees in cases where land users adjust detailed construction plans resulting in changes to the land use coefficient.

The Department of Natural Resources and Environment also requested that the People's Committees at the district level be responsible for reviewing and publicly announcing the list of small and narrow land plots directly managed by the State; and implementing land allocation with land use fees or auctioning for land allocation and leasing according to Decision No. 04/2022/QD-UBND dated January 11, 2022, of the Provincial People's Committee. An assessment of the results of the land use plan implementation in localities in 2023 showed that the rate of land use purpose conversion by households and individuals in 2023 was low because people had registered in the 2023 land use plan but were hindered by the new rural planning that had not been adjusted in a timely manner by the localities in the planning year. Therefore, the People's Committees of districts and cities need to accelerate the progress of adjusting the new rural construction planning of communes to address the land use conversion needs of people in the area in 2024.
