Covid-19 pandemic seriously affects budget revenue

The report of the People's Committee of Quang Tri said that, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the performance results of the State financial - budget task in the province are still positive thanks to proper assessment of the situation, proactive development of plans and timely and synchronous solutions and the focus on the implementation of dual goals.

Many revenues did not meet the estimated progress and decreased compared to estimates of the same period in 2019, especially revenue from state-owned enterprises, from non-state economic sector, from lottery activities and from import and export activities.

Many domestic revenues, including some revenues accounting for a large proportion, did not ensure the progress and fell sharply compared to the same period in 2019. The implementation of policies to support businesses to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic also reduced the domestic revenue in the first six months.

The total budget revenue in the first six months reached more than VND1,500 billion, equaling 44% of the estimate assigned by the locality and 54% of the estimate assigned by the Central Government, of which, the domestic revenue reached more than VND1,300 billion, reaching 45% of the local estimate and 54% of the Central estimate.

In the domestic revenue structure, there are six of 17 basic revenues ensuring the estimated progress, reaching over 48% of the local estimate. In particular, there are many good revenues such as revenue from the foreign-invested sector (reaching 87%), from personal income tax (64%), and from land use fees (reaching 52%).

The spending tasks are still ensured according to the estimates and progress of investors, budget-using units and promptly respond to urgent tasks arising and social security.

In the first six months, competent inspected and handled 850 cases; fined administrative violations in 654 cases with the fine of administrative violations, tax arrears and liquidation of over VND10 billion. Notably, Quang Tri border guards worked with the Security Department of Savannakhet Province in Laos to successfully handle the QT620L case, arresting four Laos offenders and seizing 419,000 synthetic drugs.
