Implement decisive measures to increase domestic budget revenue.

With many synchronized solutions to increase revenue and combat budget losses, in the first 10 months of 2024, the total state budget revenue in the province reached VND 43,895 billion, equivalent to 79% of the provincial target. However, due to the sluggish real estate market and difficulties caused by storms and floods, domestic budget revenue only reached VND 28,531 billion, equivalent to 67% of the annual target. Therefore, the province is continuing to direct relevant departments and localities to focus on implementing decisive measures to boost domestic budget revenue in the last two months of the year.

Officials from the Uong Bi - Quang Yen Regional Tax Office inspect and review the tax declarations and payments of businesses.

In 2024, Uong Bi City was assigned a budget revenue target of 796 billion VND. By the end of October, the total state budget revenue in the city was estimated at 694 billion VND, equivalent to 87% of the annual target and 124% compared to the same period last year.

To achieve this result, from the beginning of 2024 until now, Uong Bi City has focused on promoting investment, supporting, accompanying, and resolving difficulties for businesses, especially after the severe impact of typhoon No. 3. At the same time, it has closely monitored the progress of tax collection, evaluated and analyzed each area and region specifically, focusing on economic sectors and basic tax categories to manage tax collection promptly each month and quarter. In addition, departments and localities in the city have proactively directed and managed to closely monitor the tax declaration and payment situation of businesses to implement timely collection measures that closely match the tax declarations of taxpayers.

However, due to the sluggish real estate market, the city's revenue from land use fees has not yet met the set target, with revenue for the first 10 months reaching only 142/280 billion VND, equivalent to 51% of the annual forecast.

Mr. Phung The Dung, Head of the Uong Bi - Quang Yen Regional Tax Department, said: The department is continuing to coordinate with relevant units to strengthen inspections of real estate business activities of investment projects, working with investors to closely monitor the progress and implementation plans of projects to gather information and assess land revenue accurately... In addition, assigning and directing each unit, tax officer and tax teams to coordinate with the People's Committees of communes and wards to review and thoroughly collect all outstanding revenue...

Along with the review process, tax officials in Quang Ninh are also continuing to support and work alongside businesses.

Along with Uong Bi City, in the first 10 months of 2024, following the province's directives, the localities and tax branches have strengthened coordination to effectively implement the work of exploiting and increasing revenue collection and combating revenue loss for the state budget in the area.

Despite numerous efforts, at the end of the first 10 months, domestic budget revenue in the province reached VND 28,531 billion, equivalent to 67% of the annual forecast, a decrease of 7% compared to the same period last year. Specifically: Land use fee revenue reached VND 1,932 billion, equivalent to 24% of the forecast, a decrease of 36% compared to the same period last year; revenue from taxes and fees reached VND 26,599 billion, equivalent to 77% of the forecast, a decrease of 8% compared to the same period last year. Ten out of 16 revenue items achieved the average collection rate (83%); six out of 16 revenue items did not meet the average collection rate.

Despite facing many difficulties, with the determination of the entire political system of the province to maintain double-digit growth in 2024 and a total state budget revenue of no less than 55,600 billion VND, Quang Ninh province is continuing to direct sectors and localities, especially the Tax Department, to closely monitor factors affecting revenue collection progress, while focusing on exploiting remaining revenue sources to compensate for the decrease in revenue.

Mr. Ha Van Truong, Director of the Provincial Tax Department, stated: The Tax Department is continuing to direct its units to leverage the role of the Task Force, urging and resolving difficulties and obstacles, and boosting state budget revenue collection in 2024. They are reviewing revenue sources and items with remaining potential, striving to maximize domestic tax and fee collection to compensate for the revenue affected by Typhoon No. 3; and actively recovering outstanding tax debts. They are monitoring and implementing collection efforts, especially from key enterprises; focusing on taxes with good collection progress. They are concentrating on decisive measures to collect land lease fees from projects, organizations, and individuals whose leases have expired but have not been renewed, and cases where land users have not paid land lease fees. They are also urging and definitively recovering tax debts and land-related revenues from projects that have been pending for many years.
