Bài 2:Tax and State budget
A
Under increasing spending pressure, to stop the budget deficit from rising, the
YO
N
Government’s priority is to enhance the efficiency of expenditure while finding
alternative sources of revenue.
Improving efficiency is associated with reforms in the State apparatus operation and
YỄ
N
payroll, as well as enhancing public investment quality. Meanwhile, expanding
G
U
revenue is attached to broadening the tax base.

YO
N

However, raising taxes needs to be done cautiously as this will afect savings and
N
reduce investment. High tax can also encourange fraud and tax evasion and thus cause
YỄ
tax losses and lead to market distortion due to unfiar competition practices. The
U
reported mis – transfer pricing scheme by foreign – invested enterprises is one

example.

Bài 3: Tax reform crucial for State budget sustainability
Viet Nam has implemented many tax reforms, including the introduction of the Value
Added Tax Law in 1997 and Corporate Income Tax Law in 1999. The current
proportion of VAT, CIT and import – export tax in Viet Nam’s total budget revenue is
A
higher than in other middle – income developing Asian countries, so the expansion of
N
this tax source is unlikely.
YO
Taxes that Viet Nam may expect to increase in the future include personal income tax,
excise duty, natural resources tax and property tax. With personal income tax, tax
N
collection in 2014 – 18 averaged only half of that of middle – income developing
YỄ
countries.
However, to make tax increases possible, there needs to be a mechanism to control
U
income sources, and more importantly, to raise people’s incomes, driven by stable and
N
G
faster economic growth.

Bài 4: Combatting tax avoidance to ensure a fair deal for all

Bài 6: Tax and State budget
Based on th collection source, the State coffers rely heavily on domestic revenues,

accounting for more than 80 per cent of total budget revenue since 2016. Of which, the
N
contribution of land fees is increasing, from 9.6 per cent of domestic revenue in the
YO
2006 – 11 period to nearly 14 per cent in 2016 – 18.
However, collection mainly comes from one time fees on land use rights (more than 8
N
per cent in 2015 – 18) while the tax on property transactions accounted for just 0.2 per
