Mr. Vu Anh Tuan : The Tran Yen - Van Yen Inter-district Tax Team was established on the basis of merging two tax branches, the Tran Yen District Tax Branch and the Van Yen District Tax Branch. In March 2020, it was named the Tran Yen - Van Yen Regional Tax Branch. From April 1, 2025, it was renamed the Tran Yen - Van Yen Inter-district Tax Team. The Tax Team is organized according to the subject management model, including 5 teams.

Currently, the Team is managing 99,184 taxpayers (NNT) with production and business activities (SXKD) in the area. Of which, Tran Yen district has 40,241 subjects, Van Yen district has 58,943 subjects. Specifically, households, individuals using non- agricultural land and salaried workers: 93,243 cases; households, individuals doing business: 5,000 subjects; enterprises, cooperatives (HTX): 683 units; administrative and career units: 258 units.

Mr. Vu Anh Tuan : In 2025, the Tran Yen - Van Yen Inter-District Tax Team is responsible for advising and organizing the collection of state budget according to the provincial estimate of 565 billion VND. Specifically: Tran Yen district is 245 billion VND, Van Yen district is 320 billion VND.

In Decision No. 187/QD-UBND dated February 4, 2025 of the People's Committee of Yen Bai province on approving the state budget collection scenario in 2025, Tran Yen and Van Yen districts are responsible for collecting 740 billion VND (Tran Yen: 350 billion VND, Van Yen: 390 billion VND).

Although the lives of people and businesses in the two districts faced many difficulties and many businesses temporarily suspended operations, by the end of April 30, 2025, the entire Team still collected 131.7 billion VND, equal to 90% compared to the same period last year. Specifically, Tran Yen district collected 56.3 billion VND, equal to 23% of the provincial estimate, equal to 16% of the collection scenario according to Decision 187, equal to 90% compared to the same period; Van Yen district collected 75.4 billion VND, equal to 24% of the provincial estimate, equal to 19% of the collection scenario according to Decision 187.

Mr. Vu Anh Tuan - Captain of the Tran Yen - Van Yen Inter-district Tax Team.

Reporter : What are the difficulties of local people and businesses in fulfilling their obligations to pay the state budget, sir?

Mr. Vu Anh Tuan: The state budget revenue in the two districts mainly comes from the production and business activities, processing of agricultural and forestry products of the people and enterprises. However, in recent times, production and business activities have been unstable, the selling prices of some key agricultural products such as cassava and cinnamon bark have decreased sharply compared to the same period. The market and purchasing sources have narrowed, customers often delay payment, leading to financial difficulties for enterprises. The real estate market is quiet, with low liquidity.

The termination of the district police's activities led to a sharp decrease in fines in the field of security, order and traffic safety in the two districts (53%), while in 2025, the two districts were assigned 11 billion VND of this revenue, accounting for over 3% of the total estimated revenue balance of the two districts.

On the other hand, in 2024, many enterprises in the two districts paid in advance the tax arising in 2025 (Tran Yen district: 3.7 billion VND; Van Yen district: 17.9 billion VND). Along with that, the Government 's policies on extending the deadline for payment of value added tax, corporate income tax, personal income tax and land rent for a number of groups of industries, enterprises and individual business households have been implemented. Accordingly, it is expected that the amount of extended tax in the first 6 months of the year in the two districts will decrease by 10 billion VND.

PV : In addition to difficulties in mechanisms and policies, can you tell us some other reasons in the implementation of the Team's task of collecting state budget revenue?

Mr. Vu Anh Tuan: Some revenue sources and taxes in the first quarter had lower tax rates than the same period, such as: personal income tax from real estate transfer activities decreased by 13%; registration fee decreased by 6.3%; wood processing industry decreased by 25%, mineral exploitation industry decreased by 35%. In Tran Yen district, 4/6 enterprises had iron ore mining licenses but temporarily stopped operating, and 2/6 enterprises were operating but owed taxes. Because the budget payment of the mineral exploitation industry always accounts for a large proportion in the balanced revenue structure in the area, the fact that enterprises operate unstably and do not pay all taxes as declared greatly affects the budget collection results of the Team.

Reporter : Could you please tell us the solutions for the Tran Yen - Van Yen Inter-district Tax Team to complete the 2025 state budget collection plan?

Mr. Vu Anh Tuan: In addition to performing well the management tasks according to the function, the unit continues to promote the propaganda, implementation, and monitoring of electronic invoices from cash registers; review and standardize personal and organizational tax codes according to the direction of the industry, propagate and guide individual taxpayers to install and use the eTax Mobile application in tax declaration; continue to coordinate with local authorities to inspect, review, and survey the actual business scale, collect information on the capacity and business performance of individual households in the area, promptly handle cases of taxpayers who have dishonest declarations or declarations that do not match actual revenue to limit the loss of revenue for households and individual businesses.

At the same time, coordinate with sectors to closely monitor the budget collection progress, analyze, evaluate, and specifically classify each tax, each sector, each field, and each subject to have appropriate collection management measures, ensure the collection progress is on schedule, and collect arising amounts in accordance with regulations. In particular, the Team focuses on supporting businesses to overcome difficulties, fully implementing business support policies, especially tax exemption and reduction policies...
