Raising awareness and responsibility for tax compliance of enterprises producing and trading products from planted forests

On the morning of November 7, Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department held a conference to update tax policies and dialogue with enterprises producing and trading products from planted forests. The conference was attended by nearly 140 enterprises producing and trading products from planted forests.

Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department Head Nguyen Van Thuy spoke at the conference.

Currently, Thanh Hoa province has 135 enterprises and 40 business households operating in the field of production, processing and trading of products from planted forests. Many enterprises are deeply involved in the supply chain from production and processing to trade and export.

Through the review of tax authorities, the revenue growth rate of this sector is increasing but the amount paid to the state budget tends to decrease.

The reason is that some taxpayers have issued invoices and declared taxes that are not consistent with the nature of economic transactions. Revenue from 2023 to August 2025 reached over VND 57,679 billion; total budget payment to localities during this period reached VND 755 billion; total tax debt as of October 31, 2025 was nearly VND 41 billion, concentrated in the group of export enterprises.

To improve the effectiveness of tax management in the field of production, processing and trading of products from planted forests, Thanh Hoa tax sector has synchronously deployed many support and risk prevention solutions with the goal of both ensuring correct and sufficient collection of state budget and creating favorable conditions for businesses to operate stably and develop sustainably.

Thanh Hoa Provincial Tax Department requires taxpayers producing and trading products from planted forest wood to strictly comply with tax laws.

The tax authority is committed to strengthening guidance and support for businesses in updating tax laws. At the same time, it will conduct specialized inspections, in-depth reviews of the chain of activities and strengthen inter-sectoral and inter-provincial coordination in management and handling of violations, ensuring transparency and fairness in fulfilling obligations to the state budget.
