Working scene. |
At the survey, representatives of the leaders of 12 communes and wards including: Son Dong, Tay Yen Tu, Yen Dinh, Van Son, Luc Ngan, Bien Son, Chu, Phuong Son, Luc Nam, Nghia Phuong, Bac Lung and Bao Dai reported on the current situation of budget management and operation after the administrative unit merger. Localities reflected that the implementation of the commune-level budget revenue and expenditure tasks still encountered many difficulties.
Currently, some localities are facing many difficulties in terms of infrastructure and human resources. The working headquarters are cramped and degraded, while the scale of the area is large but the number of specialized staff in the fields of land management, finance, and accounting is still lacking and weak. Many communes still have outstanding debts for basic construction, creating great pressure on the budget. It is recommended that the province consider a support plan so that localities can gradually handle and pay off debts, creating conditions for financial stability and effectively implementing socio-economic development tasks.
Highland communes and ethnic minority communities such as Luc Ngan, Bien Son, Van Son, Tay Yen Tu, Yen Dinh... proposed that there should be a mechanism to prioritize budget allocation for specific areas where revenue sources are limited, mainly relying on support from higher levels, while the need for spending on new rural construction, social security, and infrastructure maintenance is increasing. Some localities in rapidly urbanizing areas such as Chu and Phuong Son wards proposed to adjust the budget allocation norms in a flexible manner, in accordance with the population growth rate and the need for investment in infrastructure, education , health, and the environment.

Comrade Lam Thi Huong Thanh concluded the conference. |
According to the report of the Department of Finance, the total budget revenue in the communes after the merger basically met the set progress, but the collection from land use fees and some decentralized revenues still faced difficulties, while budget expenditures were under great pressure from regular expenditure tasks.
The representative of the Provincial Tax Department said that the Tax sector is coordinating with localities to strengthen guidance, professional support, and digital transformation application in management and budget collection, helping communes and wards to grasp local revenue sources and limit revenue loss. The two units agreed to propose the Provincial People's Council to consider and adjust the revenue sharing ratio and regular expenditure norms to ensure fairness, suitability with the characteristics of each region, increase the initiative of the commune level and ensure the overall balance of the provincial budget.
In her concluding remarks, Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council Lam Thi Huong Thanh emphasized that this survey aimed to collect practical information to complete the draft Resolution regulating the decentralization of revenue sources, expenditure tasks and the percentage (%) of revenue division between the provincial and commune budgets, along with the draft Resolution regulating the allocation norms of the 2026 regular state budget expenditure estimates of local authorities in Bac Ninh province. These are two important drafts, which are fundamental for budget management in the coming period, ensuring reasonable allocation of resources, improving the efficiency of budget use, serving the goal of equitable and sustainable development among localities.

Leaders of Phuong Son Ward People's Committee expressed their opinions on difficulties in personnel work and public investment. |
He suggested that communes and wards continue to restructure revenue sources in the direction of effectively exploiting local potential and strengths, strictly and economically managing budget expenditures, focusing on key tasks that are practical for people's lives. The finance and tax sector needs to study and supplement priority support mechanisms for mountainous communes, disadvantaged areas and areas with special spending needs, ensuring the principles of fairness and transparency in budget allocation.
The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council affirmed that the completion of the two draft Resolutions this time not only has technical financial significance but also clearly demonstrates the development orientation of the province, aiming to increase the initiative of the grassroots, linking responsibility with the effectiveness of management and use of the state budget, contributing to the successful implementation of socio-economic development goals and improving people's lives.
