While localities still apply the old price list and method of calculating financial obligations, Ho Chi Minh City quickly asked for comments on the draft adjusted land price list. The price in the land price list is expected to increase very high compared to the old land price list, the increase in many places is from 10 to 30 times, in some places it is increased 51 times.
This makes people worried . People heard that land prices had increased so they took the opportunity to submit documents and get receipts to enjoy the old tax rate. Even though the application has been submitted, the Tax Department temporarily stops tax calculation for applications submitted after July 31 to wait for instructions, only processing applications before August 1.
Up to now, more than 10 days have passed since the 2024 Land Law took effect, tax authorities in Ho Chi Minh City are temporarily suspending the processing of land documents received after August 1. Branches of land registration offices in districts and Thu Duc City stopped accepting documents, because they were afraid that the documents had not been resolved. If they were received, the processing time would be delayed compared to regulations.
Building a new land price list is necessary but must be cautious. That is the view being given by many experts.
At the social criticism conference on the draft to build a new land price list deciding to replace Decision 02/2020/QD-UBND of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Fatherland Front Committee on August 12, LS. Nguyen Van Hau - Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association - said that the draft to build a new replacement land price list is not really consistent with the actual situation, creating great financial pressure, especially for people. . Because, in the districts in the area, there is a large need to change the purpose of land use from agriculture to residential land, land for children to build houses and settle down.
A sharp increase in land prices after just such a short period of time as above can cause negative reactions in the community, especially for households and individuals living in suburban areas, city suburbs and urban areas. In places where there are plans and real estate projects, Lawyer Nguyen Van Hau expressed his opinion.
Many opinions also say that, in the current situation, land prices have not been increased because it is not necessary as prescribed by law, but for now, the current land price list will be applied until December 31, 2025. During this process, it is necessary to survey carefully to have an accurate land price list.
Mr. Le Hoang Chau - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association - suggested that the drafting agency should put itself in the situation of the people to see more clearly why at the present time a land price list should not be issued, but rather comply with the land price list regulations issued by the Provincial People's Committee according to the provisions of the 2013 Land Law, which will continue to apply until December 31, 2025 and should focus on building the first land price list for publication. and applies from January 1, 2026.
The Association requested the drafting agency to pay attention to cases of individuals wishing to have residential land use rights recognized, including 13,035 plots of land where land users have not yet been granted a Certificate for the first time or applied for a contract. Legalize residential land use rights for agricultural land and non-agricultural land located interspersed in urban areas and rural residential areas attached to houses.
Especially in the case of individuals and households with real estate located in suspended planning areas or suspended projects. A typical example is the Binh Quoi Thanh Da Project. For many years, people have had their land user rights suspended. If the suspension is here, they will continue to be disadvantaged and lose a second time when they have to pay Land use fees are very high according to the draft adjusted land price list.
