On the morning of June 17, the National Assembly discussed in the hall the socio-economic development plan, the state budget, the practice of thrift, combating waste in 2024 and many other important contents.
National Assembly delegate Ha Sy Dong (Quang Tri delegation) said that the Resolution on mechanisms and policies for private economic development has decided to abolish contract tax for business households from January 1, 2026, receiving many supportive opinions from experts. Because this regulation opens up opportunities to elevate business households to enterprises.
However, besides that, some businesses are confused, have reactions such as not accepting transfers, only accepting cash, etc.
From this reality, delegate Ha Sy Dong suggested that it is necessary to increase communication so that people have a correct and complete understanding of this new policy. Along with that, it is necessary to support business households in procedures, especially tax declaration until they can do it, instead of "every time the policy comes into effect, checking, if the household does not receive it, they will be fined".
"I heard a voter who is a small business report that it will be 1-2 days late and will be sent up and down, so they asked to withdraw from the business to the business household. The way of organizing and implementing it needs to be extremely necessary and important, especially people and businesses are having to adapt to policy changes as quickly and as much as at this time" the delegate stated the reality.
Mr. Dong said that currently, the Party and the State have had many resolutions, such as Resolution 57, Resolution 66, especially Resolution 68 on private economic development. However, there are still many cases of businesses reflecting inadequacies in the business environment.
"Without a breakthrough in the business environment, the double-digit long-term growth target in the next 2 decades will certainly not be achieved. Even if we continue to maintain high growth targets in 2026 and 2027 and use monetary and financial measures, there will be great risks" - the delegate expressed concern.
National Assembly delegate Hoang Van Cuong - Hanoi delegation assessed that in the past few years, we have implemented quite good financial policies, especially in terms of revenue.
In addition to the expanded fiscal policy, there are also many policies on tax extension, deferral, and reduction, but our revenue is implemented well, so the annual revenue rate increases and exceeds. This is a great success in the financial field.
This year, as of May, we have collected over 50% of the country's revenue, which shows that this year will continue to be a year of financial revenue.
However, he also acknowledged that new tax policies are facing unwanted "reactions", going against the set goals.
That is the situation where many people will avoid declaration, closure without business, or even do not accept cash payment or increase the price of goods when changing from contract tax to tax declaration.
"This is an issue that many delegates will also be interested in and need the Minister of Finance to clarify, explain and propose timely solutions" - delegate Hoang Van Cuong proposed.
