Hai Duong tax sector takes strong action against budget loss

Recently, Hai Duong newspaper reported that in February 2024 alone, the Provincial Tax Department sent a document to the Immigration Department (Ministry of Public Security) requesting to temporarily suspend the exit of 28 businessmen with tax debts.

On the website of the Provincial Tax Department, at haiduong.gdt.gov.vn, from the beginning of March 2024 until now, this unit has sent dozens of other documents to the Immigration Department requesting temporary suspension of exit for dozens of individuals who are legal representatives of many businesses operating in Hai Duong.

Previously, in another news report of Hai Duong newspaper, Chi Linh City Tax Department publicly announced the names, addresses, and debt amounts of 114 organizations and enterprises that owe taxes and other revenues to the state budget.

It can be said that in Hai Duong, this is the first time the tax authority has implemented measures to urge budget collection in this form. The previous announcement on the Hai Duong Tax Department's website only publicly announced tax debtors over 90 days.

Detailed information, from the business name, tax code, address, tax debt to each individual who is the legal representative who is temporarily suspended from leaving the country, has strongly affected the psychology of Hai Duong businesses. A series of other newspapers quoted the above information from Hai Duong Newspaper, or hundreds of interactions, comments, and shares on Hai Duong Newspaper's Fanpage, enough to show the level of people's interest in this issue.

In fact, the "roll call" of businessmen who have been asked to temporarily suspend their exit from the country is not a new story. It is not difficult to find this information on the internet from around the end of 2023 until now. However, in Hai Duong, this has demonstrated the high determination of the tax sector in preventing loss of state budget revenue.

Everyone understands that businesses are an important part of the economy. Accompanying, creating conditions, and the most open and favorable business environment for the business community to develop is not only the viewpoint of Hai Duong provincial leaders, but also the task of departments, branches and sectors. And in fact, the business environment in Hai Duong is increasingly attractive, clearly demonstrated through each figure of attracting domestic and foreign investment, becoming the destination of many large domestic and international investors and enterprises.

On the business side, despite difficulties and challenges in production and business, Vietnam in general and Hai Duong in particular are still affected by global economic fluctuations. However, in that context, the majority of enterprises in the province still operate effectively in production and business, creating jobs for tens of thousands of people and contributing greatly to the state budget.

Only a few businessmen are recommended to be temporarily suspended from leaving the country. Through this, they also need to review from financial management to fulfilling their obligations to the State.

On the other hand, by publicizing the names of businessmen who are proposed to be temporarily suspended from leaving the country, it is even possible to detect cases of falsifying business establishment records, or changing directors when tax debts arise, in order to have appropriate handling measures. Therefore, if a business encounters difficulties in managing revenue, it is necessary to coordinate with functional agencies, including tax authorities. Businesses need to proactively comply with legal regulations to avoid damage to reputation and economy.

In cases where enterprises are being forced to execute administrative decisions on tax management, their departure from the country may affect the interests of the State because some people may "default" on debt, avoid obligations, leading to tax losses.

The measures that Hai Duong tax sector has taken in recent times are necessary.
