According to HCM City Customs Department, in 2020, a number of manufacturing, trading, and import-export sectors have negative growth.The business community hassuffered from difficulties, so import turnover in 2020 decreases (about 6.5% to 7%) compared to 2019. Most production and service industries decreased, ofwhich some industries have stagnated or blocked such as commerce, services, tourism, catering, accommodation and entertainment. Total import and export turnover in the first 10 months of 2020 topped USD 93,498 million, down 3.56% year-on-year. The turnover of major import commodity groups saw a deep fall, including iron and steel of US$ 1,402.65 million, decreasing by 26.64% year-on-year; cars of US$ 752.93 million, declining by 31.54% andpetroleum products of US$ 1,251.63 million, falling 42.08%.
HCM City Customs Department forecasts the total import and export turnover in 2020 reached US$ 114,500 million, a decrease of 4% year-on-year. The revenue in 2020 is estimated at VND 101,000 billion or more, reaching 87.8% of the estimate and 83.5% of the desired target and falling 14.9% year-on-year. The leader of HCM City Customs Department directed subordinate units to focus on revenue collection, ensuring sufficient and accurate revenue, and creating all favorable conditions for the business community for quick customs clearance; strengthen the prevention of smuggling and trade fraud, striving to achieve the highest revenue.
According to HCM City Customs Department, the reduction in State budget revenue was due to tariff cut roadmaps under FTAs to which Vietnam is acceded. Revenue reduces by VND 3,000 billion per year under FTA tariffs. In addition, the reduction in State budget revenue was due to the reduction in turnover. Import turnover from goods subject to hightax rates, special consumption tax and safeguard tax saw a deep fall by the pandemic compared to 2019, leading to a reduction in tax revenue. Specifically, import tax revenue decreased by VND 3,500 billion; special consumption tax revenue reduced by VND 5,520 billion; and VAT reduced by VND 7,052 billion. |
