Notice of exit suspension for 28 directors

Not only issuing enforcement decision on domestic tax debt at the request of the Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department, the Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department has applied many enforcement measures for tax debtors. According to information from the Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department, in early October 2023, the Saigon Port Area 1 Customs Branch issued 28 notices of exit suspension for 28 business directors with tax debts. Accordingly, the exit suspension period is from the date of signing the notice (October 4, 2023) until the taxpayer completes the tax obligation into the state budget. These Notices have been sent to the Immigration Department, Ministry of Public Security and sent to the business directors.

According to the leader of the Tax Management Team under Saigon Port Area 1 Customs Branch, most of the above businesses owe tax debt for many years. Among them, there are some business directors who are hired as directors and know nothing about import-export activities, as well as the tax debt of their companies of which they are directors.

Also according to the Saigon Port Area 1 Customs Branch, the exit suspension for legal representatives of businesses with tax debt has been efficient. Previously, in the eight months of 2023, the Saigon Port Area 1 Customs Branch issued over 200 notices of exit suspension for business directors with tax debt. As a result, the branch collected more than VND12 billion.

Moreover, border gate Customs branches under Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department has applied various enforcement measures, such as: stopping customs procedures for exported and imported goods; requesting revocation of business registration license; deducting money from the business's account.

According to Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department, the total amount of overdue tax debt as of September 15, 2023 is over VND1,953 billion, down more than VDN457 billion compared to December 31, 2022. Of which, the total overdue debts of VND678 billion arising before 2023 is recovered and handled. Along with that, the Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department advised the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to issue 86 decisions to cancel irrecoverable debts worth over VND11 billion; issued 42 debt freezing decisions, with the total debt frozen over VND 28 billion.

From now until the end of 2023, Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department directs units to continue reviewing and classifying debts to apply effective tax debt collection measures and prevent state budget revenue loss.
