That is the impact of objective factors on the State budget revenues of the whole Customs. However, in order to achieve this result, Customs strengthened trade facilitation in parallel with strict customs management, in which, focused on recovering outstanding debts, managing tax debt recoveries. anti-fraud trade, enhancing post-clearance inspection.

Specifically, from the early days of 2017, Customs has stepped up the management of revenue collection, revenue exploitation, anti-loss through price consultation, determination of valuation, determination of tax code; Post-clearance inspection, strengthening the mechanism of inter-sectoral coordination to prevent, inspect, and detect trade fraud acts through the origin of goods, determining goods with unusual revenue signs, and goods with high tax rates.

In order to manage the revenue collection tightly, the General Department of Customs asked provincial Customs Departments to evaluate the regular State budget collection monthly, in which to analyze clearly the causes of increase or decrease compared to the same period last month, estimate the State budget collection for the following month, at the same time, report and analysis the tax debts situation, supervision, recovery, and handling for tax debts, and implementation solutions.

The units also focus on reviewing and penetrating the situation of tax debts in the units; Classify the debt group that can be collected, and debt group that cannot, each debt group is assessed particularly under each declaration, each debt company, the actual situation of each company, reasons for not recovering debts; and take appropriate debt handling measures. So, by March 21, 2007, the number of outstanding debts for the Customs clearance derations was 5,495 billion VND, down 77 billion VND compared with debts of December 2016 (5,572 billion VND), equivalent to a decrease of 1.38%.

Customs offices at all levels have also promoted the post-CFustoms clearance inspection in accordance with legal regulations, limited exploitation of loopholes in pre-Customs clearance and Customs clearance for tax fraud and evasion. They have concentrated on inspecting enterprises, sectors, and key goods with high risks; Reviewed tax debts because of tax assessment under the decisions on post-Customs clearance inspection, the inspection decisions of the General Department of Customs and the provincial Customs Departments on the basis of law provisions to carry out debt recovery.

One of the factors contributing to the State budget revenue of Customs in the first quarter was the result of anti-smuggling and anti-trade fraud. From December 15th 2016 to March 15th 2017, Customs coordinated, detected and arrested 3,147 violation cases, 66.131 million VND of the estimated value of violation goods, collected 33,49 billion VND for the State budget revenue (up 13.7% over the same period of 2016).

Therefore, continuing to be patient with the proposed solutions and trade facilitation is an effective way for Customs to succeed with the State budget revenue target of 2017.

In the first quarter, some Customs Departments of provinces and cities achieved over 30% of State budget revenue, such as: Gia Lai - Kon Tum (82%); Nghe An (40%); Ha Nam Ninh (40%); Quang Ninh (37%); Dak Lak (37%); Khanh Hoa (32%).
