Many taxes continue to be reduced and exempted
Amid difficulties due to the impact of disease, the budget balance, budget deficit and public debt in 2020 are facing great pressure.
State revenue has decreased significantly due to the impact of four main factors: economic growth is lower than the target; crude oil has plummeted; policies have been adjusted to remove difficulties for production and business; the arrangement and equitisation of enterprises are slow.
Budget spending must be strengthened for pandemic prevention and control activities, ensuring social security and safety as well as sufficient resources for development investment expenditure to maintain the growth momentum of the economy.
Therefore, managing budget balance is a big challenge and a key but difficult task of the Government at all levels and sectors this year.
The gradual recovery of activities based on easing social distancing is also a strong impetus for the development and this is the new phase of the implementation of the double task that is continuing to combat pandemic and carryout socio-economic recovery.
To help businesses and people restore and stabilise production and business activities, and grasp development opportunities, the Ministry of Finance will focus on implementing the following 10 solutions:
Firstly, continue to closely follow tax contents that have been reported by the Government to the National Assembly and the National Assembly Standing Committee for early promulgation and effective performance immediately after being promulgated. Those are policies: Exemption and reduction of corporate income tax for small and micro enterprises; increase in family circumstance deduction level when calculating personal income tax; and continue to exempt agricultural land use tax until the end of 2025.
Secondly, the Ministry of Finance has submitted to the Government an amendment to the Export Tariff and the Preferential Import Tariff, including the proposal of tax rate reduction for 24 commodity groups; duty exemption for all raw materials, components and supplies for manufacturing of mechanical engineering, supporting industries and automotive industries; for processing and production of export products. In addition, regulations in the draft have removed difficulties for businesses operating in footwear, textiles, processing of agricultural, forestry and fishery products.
Thirdly, soon submit to the Government the reduction of land lease fees for production and business establishments which have stopped business due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fourth, coordinate closely with ministries, branches and localities to review and cut fees and charges to reduce costs for businesses and people.
Fifthly, promote implementation of issued solutions for enterprises and people to quickly enjoy support in the most favorable manner, at the same time continue to closely monitor the actual situation, research, review and assess to propose appropriate solutions on taxes, fees and charges, and report to authorities for consideration.
Sixth, reduce late payment interest for manufacturing enterprises which directly import goods to create fixed assets that are imposed VAT by Customs.
