Recently, at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly (UBTVQH), Finance Minister Dinh Tien Dung said that the Government submitted to the National Assembly to promulgate the Resolution of the National Assembly on the exemption from the use tax of the agricultural soil. with the content extending the SSS tax exemption time until the end of December 31, 2025.
In presenting the Government’s report on this draft Resolution, Finance Minister Dinh Tien Dung said that the average tax exemption and reduction in the period 2003-2010 is approximately 3,268.5 billion dong / year on average; From 2011 to 2016, an average of VND 6,308.3 billion / year; in the period 2017-2018 and it is expected to arrive at the end of 2020 approximately VND 7,438.5 billion / year.
According to Dung, the tax exemption and reduction policy is a solution that has great and important impacts, contributing to the implementation of the Party and State guidelines and opinions on agriculture and rural areas in each period; Contribute directly to farmers, encourage organizations and individuals to invest in this field.
Therefore, the Government proposed a National Assembly to issue a Resolution to continue exempting the agricultural land use tax by 2025. This does not reduce the income of the state budget because this is a policy that is being implemented.
“With the VND 7.5 billion / year exempt tax, it will continue to be a form of direct support to farmers and an important source of financial investment directly to agricultural and rural areas,” said Dung. .
The EDTS exemption and reduction policy has brought important results
It is not enough to create momentum for agriculture.
Speaking to the Vietnamese people on this issue, economist Nguyen Tri Hieu considered that if the 5-year exemption from the agricultural land use tax exemption was approved, it would be a lever to support farmers and the agriculture in the context of difficult situation as today.
“The Covid-19 epidemic has reduced the demand for domestic agricultural products, but production on the world market has decreased considerably, especially for agricultural products sold to countries such as the United States, the EU, Korea, Japan, China … They make agriculture extremely difficult. Therefore, if the government exempts the agricultural land use tax in the next 5 years, it will be of great help to the current agricultural industry, “said Mr. Hieu.
However, Mr. Hieu also said that the amount of VND 7.5 billion / year is not too much if calculated based on Vietnam’s current economic structure. Agriculture is always key to the country’s economy, when the number of employees working in the industry is very large. In addition, agricultural products have products that have created a brand in the world market such as rice and coffee, in addition to difficulties such as natural disasters, drought and salinity that cause difficulties for farmers in the future. Going forward, we still have to deal with lost production for markets around the world.
Therefore, Mr. Hieu said that the tax exemption will only partially support small-scale enterprises at the present time and will encourage the concentration of land for large-scale agricultural production, helping to restructure the agricultural and rural economy towards modernization, helping to improve and improve peasant life, creating jobs for rural areas is not enough to create an advance for agriculture next time, the government must create heavier fuses.
“The state needs to have programs to grant long-term loans to farmers, with low interest rates and a grace period of at least one year from the time of the loan of the capital. At the same time, encourage Vietnamese to use assets ” Vietnam, in part to support farmers in the consumption of agricultural products in the current context, “emphasized Hieu.
In evaluating the draft of this Resolution, Dr. Ngo Tri Long, former Director of the Price Market Research Institute (Ministry of Finance), also said that with the effective and positive side, the National Assembly will probably agree. through.
However, noted Dr. Ngo Tri Long, the Government must have a careful and careful evaluation of the scope and issues of continued tax exemption, so it should not be rampant, how this policy has a positive impact to encourage the effective use of agricultural land, not wasting land.
According to Mr. Long, the fact that the land is abandoned and unnecessary use is there for many reasons, not because the abandonment is due to tax exemption. If the exemption is widespread, producers on agricultural land will be exempt, and those who leave the land will also be exempt.
“The problem is still uniting 4 houses, the state is the driver that has policies so that scientists, farmers, companies and banks coordinate with each other. Then, the reduction and exemption of land taxes, and then create the conditions.” facilitating people access to production capital; companies can access sources of goods and then distribute them to consumer markets both domestically and abroad, “Long said.
