According to the Ministry of Finance, Resolution No. 94 requires debt settlement to ensure compliance with the provisions of the law, the right subjects, the right authority, ensure the conditions, documents, processes and procedures and responsibility of the individual concerned.

The Ministry of Finance has issued Circular No. 69/2020/TT-BTC stipulating dossiers, order and procedures for debt settlement. Accordingly, for most cases, there must be a written confirmation from the People's Committee of the commune, ward or township where the taxpayer registered the business address that the taxpayer no longer conducts production and business activities at the registered address.

Therefore, tax administration agencies take a long time to collect, search, supplement and complete dossiers according to regulations.

Debt settlement time is prolonged due to the impact of the pandemic

According to the Government, the debt settlement was carried out during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic (2020 - 2022), and social distancing nationwide, so tax authorities had difficulty in collecting, verifying information and making a record certified by the People's Committee of the commune, ward or township where the taxpayer has registered the business address on the fact that the taxpayer no longer conducts production and business activities at the registered address. Therefore, it took a long time to settle the debts.

According to the Government, as of December 31, 2022, the tax administration agency had completed 100% of the settlement of debt rescheduling compared to the expected settlement. The handling of debt cancellation for late payment fines and late payment interest reached 61% of the expected amount of debt settlement by localities.

During the implementation of the Resolution, tax administration agencies at all levels received the synchronous and close coordination of the People's Committees at all levels as well as of local authorities such as the police, business registration agencies, courts, information and communication agencies.

To ensure the debt settlement according to the time specified in Resolution 94, the Government said that tax administration agencies at all levels would continue to focus on reviewing and identifying the right subjects to be handled according to the provisions of Resolution 94, collecting, supplementing, completing and compiling a complete dossier of debt settlement according to the guidance in Circular No. 69/2020/TT-BTC; handling tax arrears, debt cancellation of late payment fines and late payment interest, ensuring the right subjects and the right competence; documents, strict procedures according to regulations.
