(PLVN) - The remaining time of 2024 is not long, therefore, the entire Customs sector will make great efforts and determination to successfully complete the tasks of the whole year, including the very important task of collecting the state budget.
Many notable results
According to assessments, in recent times, in the world , the work of fighting inflation still has many uncertain factors, especially the impact of monetary policies of major countries. In the country, sudden and unexpected factors still have hidden risks and are difficult to predict; epidemics, climate change, and natural disasters have developed abnormally, affecting production and business activities. Most recently, the severe impact of Typhoon Yagi has been causing consequences for industrial production, trade, and import and export (XNK).
Faced with that situation, closely following the plans and directions of all levels, the General Department of Customs has focused on implementing synchronously, drastically, promptly, effectively, and concretizing with practical solutions. In particular, it has implemented fiscal policies related to tax exemption, reduction, and refund, in order to facilitate trade and remove difficulties for businesses.
The Customs Department has implemented publicity, transparency, promptly resolved arising problems under its authority related to customs procedures, tax policies, tax management, accounting regime, tax refund and tax exemption regime, removed difficulties and created favorable conditions for enterprises to participate in import and export activities.
The General Department of Customs has issued a list of import and export goods with value risks; organized a review on the GTT02 system to promptly direct cases of improper implementation of regulations on customs value.
Implementing fiscal policies, applying value-added tax (VAT) reduction to support people and businesses according to National Assembly Resolutions No. 43/2022/QH15; 101/2023/QH15; 110/2023/QH15; 142/2024/QH15; from February 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, the Customs authority has reduced the VAT amount for businesses by more than VND 19,258 billion; from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, it reduced more than VND 8,844 billion; from January 1, 2024 to August 31, 2024, it reduced more than VND 12,466 billion. These figures show the determination of the Customs authorities in implementing fiscal policies to support people and businesses in the face of consecutive difficulties and natural disasters.
Although the economic situation still faces many challenges, the results of the implementation of the state budget revenue estimate as of October 15, 2024 of the entire Customs sector have reached more than 325.3 trillion VND, equal to 86.7% of the assigned estimate, up 14.7% over the same period in 2023. The estimated state budget revenue for the first 10 months of 2024 of the sector reached nearly 342 trillion VND, equal to 91.19% of the estimate, up 13.08% over the same period.
According to the representative of the Import-Export Tax Department, the total import-export turnover of the whole country in the first 10 months of 2024 reached 610.6 billion USD, an increase of 12.5% (equivalent to an increase of 67.8 billion USD) over the same period in 2023. Of which, export turnover reached 315.9 billion USD, an increase of 8.2% and import turnover reached 294.7 billion USD, an increase of 17.5% over the same period in 2023.
Continue to strive, high determination
Despite many achievements, in the process of implementing the VAT reduction policy for enterprises, the Customs authority has encountered some difficulties. Specifically, in Decrees 15/2022/ND-CP, 44/2023/ND-CP, 94/2023/ND-CP, 72/2024/ND-CP of the Government stipulating tax exemption and reduction policies according to Resolutions 43/2022/QH15, 101/2023/QH15, 110/2023/QH15, 142/2024/QH15 of the National Assembly on fiscal and monetary policies to support the Socio-economic Recovery and Development Program; does not stipulate VAT reduction for all goods; but applies the exclusion of tax reduction for a number of goods and services according to the appendix attached to the Decrees.
Meanwhile, the appendices issued with the Decree are built on the basis of the List of Vietnamese product industry systems issued with Decision 43/2018/QD-TTg dated November 1, 2018 of the Prime Minister (this list is built on the basis of opinions of ministries and branches). However, the description of goods in the List of Vietnamese product industry systems does not correspond to the description of goods in the List of Vietnamese import-export goods. This leads to difficulties for the Customs authority when determining HS codes for imported goods in the appendices, especially for goods lines with the description "goods... not classified elsewhere"...
Speaking at the conclusion of the recent online conference on the results of the third quarter's work and the implementation of the fourth quarter's work program of 2024 of the General Department of Customs, Director General of the General Department of Customs Nguyen Van Tho emphasized that the remaining time of 2024 is not long, therefore, the whole industry needs to make great efforts and determination to successfully complete the tasks of the whole year.
General Director Nguyen Van Tho requested that units in the whole industry focus on reviewing the targets and progress of each unit; tax debt collection results, striving to reduce tax debt; focusing on tax exemption, reduction and refund.
