More than 750 billion VND in land use debt

According to the Department of Finance, the total tax debt in the area is currently over 3,630 billion VND, accounting for 14% of the total state budget revenue. Land use fee debt of households and individuals alone is nearly 760 billion VND.

There are many reasons for land use fee debt. First of all, in some resettlement areas in the area, many households that were allocated land still have financial difficulties and cannot pay. Many cases have drawn lots to receive resettlement land but have not paid the land use fee.

Nam Gia Nghia Ward is a locality where many households still owe land use fees, with about more than 130 households. The locality is urging, propagating, and mobilizing households to complete their documents and pay land use fees.

According to the People's Committee of Nam Gia Nghia Ward, to increase debt collection, the locality has proactively exploited citizen identification data and population data. The purpose is to contact, propagate, and urge people to promptly carry out procedures for granting land use right certificates and financial obligations according to regulations. The People's Committee of the ward has requested specialized units to make a specific list of cases that have drawn lots to receive resettlement land but have not paid land use fees. "We are reviewing cases where the land use fee registration deadline has expired but have not yet been paid. The locality's viewpoint is to prioritize propaganda and mobilize people to fulfill their tax obligations. If people deliberately do not comply, the agencies will propose sanctions to strictly handle violations," the leader of the People's Committee of the ward shared.

In Kien Duc commune, in order to increase land use revenue, in addition to debt collection, the locality has recently established working groups to support people with procedures when converting land use purposes. The groups have stepped up screening and propaganda, helping people access land administrative procedures more quickly.

The working group has organized propaganda and guided households and individuals who need to change land use purposes to carry out the procedures and processes for changing land use purposes according to the provisions of the Land Law. During the working process at the grassroots level, questions and recommendations from households and individuals related to land use purpose conversion procedures were promptly answered. "People have a high need to change land use purposes, but are still hesitant because they do not fully understand the procedures and processes. Based on this reality, the locality has established working groups to support and guide people to change land use purposes in accordance with regulations, ensuring compliance with land use planning and plans", said Ms. Vo Thi Kieu Linh - Chairman of Kien Duc Commune People's Committee.
