Focus on collecting import taxes on coal from Laos.

During the meeting, the Provincial Tax Department highlighted difficulties and obstacles encountered in the implementation of its tasks. In the process of developing the 2024 state budget revenue forecast, the Tax Department coordinated with relevant departments and agencies to review the projected revenue from land use fees in the province, including projects such as: the residential area in Ward 1, Dong Ha City; the T&T Group's tourism and resort area; the Cua Tung brackish water shrimp farming project; Sgo Resort Cua Tung; and the Quang Tri Industrial Park. Currently, only the Quang Tri Industrial Park project has received a notice of deduction totaling VND 47.966 billion; the remaining projects have not yet been implemented. Furthermore, the Provincial Tax Department also faces difficulties in resolving cases eligible for land lease and land use fee exemptions for socialized projects; managing taxes on e-commerce activities; and handling tax declarations and payments by businesses importing coal from Laos.

Given the above difficulties, the Provincial Tax Department recommends that the Provincial People's Council direct relevant departments and agencies to expedite the implementation of procedures for land use fee and land lease fee collection projects expected to arise in 2024. It also recommends that the Provincial People's Committee provide guidance on the retroactive collection of land lease fees for socialized projects; direct relevant departments, agencies, and district People's Committees to actively cooperate with the tax authorities in the implementation of electronic invoices and tax management for e-commerce and private transportation businesses; and direct relevant departments and agencies to urge and encourage businesses importing coal from Laos to declare taxes through units registered with the Provincial Tax Department in the third quarter of 2024.

In his concluding remarks, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Nguyen Dang Quang, requested the Provincial People's Council to create all favorable conditions, and the Provincial People's Committee to direct relevant departments, agencies, and units to actively coordinate with the Provincial Tax Department to effectively carry out the task of tax management and state budget revenue collection in the province. This includes strengthening the implementation of electronic invoices; focusing on managing and collecting taxes from businesses importing coal from Laos, and units and individual households engaged in tourism services. Following this meeting, the Provincial Tax Department needs to research and review its proposals and recommendations to the Provincial People's Council with more specific and detailed solutions aimed at exceeding the assigned state budget revenue target. Based on this, the Provincial People's Council will have policies and resolutions appropriate to the actual situation.
