Proposal to adjust land use fee calculation method, digitize pink book issuance

According to the Institute of Natural Resources and Environment Economics , to make it more convenient for people and better for the State to manage land systematically, it is advisable to orient digital transformation by identifying land plots and maps integrated into the owner's ID card number.

This helps the State management agency to manage planning, construction and collect real estate tax when transferring and even avoid falsifying land use right certificates. This proposal is in accordance with the provisions of the 2024 Land Law on the national land information system.

In addition, the Institute of Natural Resources and Environmental Economics proposed adjusting a number of provisions in Decree 103/2024 of the Government on regulations on land use fees and land rents.

Specifically, in the process of drafting Decree 103/2024, the Ministry of Finance requested the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (now the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) to provide data for drafting with the goal of not causing a sudden increase in land use fees in localities.

However, the calculation of land use fees when changing land use purposes for households and individuals in Article 8 of Decree 103/2024 has increased dozens of times compared to before the Land Law took effect. Currently, very few people across the country complete procedures to change the purpose to residential land because the land use fee for changing the purpose is too high, in some localities it is nearly 20 times higher than the 2013 Land Law.

Practical research experience shows that, in the process of drafting Article 8 of Decree 103/2024, the percentage multiplication (%) calculation was forgotten, which is the scientific calculation in the coefficient "K" or coefficient "K...n" leading to inconsistency between Article 8 and Article 9 of Decree 103/2024.

Therefore, the Institute of Natural Resources and Environmental Economics recommends that the Government review and objectively reassess the existing consequences due to the impact of Decree 103/2024 such as not being able to collect money for land use conversion in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

This also greatly affects the country's double-digit growth target, affects efforts to develop the private economy according to Resolution 68 and the country's real estate market due to high land prices.
