Dong Nai elevates its position as one of leading localities nationwide in state budget revenue

During the 2020–2025 period, the total state budget revenue of Dong Nai Province is estimated at over VND 315 trillion. For many years, the province has consistently maintained its position among the leading localities nationwide in terms of budget collection.

As one of the country’s industrial “capitals”, Dong Nai has achieved not only strong industrial growth but also synchronous development across other economic sectors. Although the 2020–2025 period has been assessed as being heavily affected by natural disasters and epidemics, which posed negative impacts on the enterprises’ production and business activities, and local budget revenues, the province’s state budget collection has still met the set targets.

Flexible solutions for effective budget collection

According to financial experts, the 2020–2025 period has witnessed complex developments both regionally and globally in terms of politics, economics, and natural disasters and epidemics. These developments have had direct impacts on the "health" of economies worldwide. In Vietnam, although proactive measures have been taken to address emerging issues, negative effects remained unavoidable, especially in the economic sector, which suffered heavy losses due to the pandemic and natural disasters.

To support enterprises, organisations, and individuals in overcoming difficulties, the National Assembly and the Government have continuously introduced fiscal policies and practical solutions in recent years. These measures have helped maintain operations, gradually restore the economy, and ensure local state budget revenues.

With flexible response measures, Dong Nai has managed to fulfil its annual revenue targets throughout the year.

The Dong Nai Customs Sub-Department, Region XVIII, reported that from 2020 to 2025, the customs sector has been consistently assigned higher budget collection targets for import–export activities. Despite facing challenges, the provincial customs sector managed to meet and even surpass assigned targets. As a result, budget revenues from import–export activities reached over VND 106 trillion, 1.2 times higher than the previous period.

In the domestic tax sector, total budget revenue for 2020–2025 exceeded VND 209 trillion. To fulfil and exceed annual targets, the tax sector focused on implementing solutions that effectively tapped all revenue sources for the state budget.

Tran Quang Ninh, Head of Enterprise Management Division 1 of Dong Nai Tax Department, noted that in recent years, the Government and the Ministry of Finance have continuously introduced tax policies such as tax reductions and extensions of payment deadlines to reassure enterprises in production. Therefore, the tax sector has promptly updated these policies to ensure that enterprises comply with tax declaration regulations.

Striving to achieve budget revenue targets

In 2025, Dong Nai aims to achieve VND 100 trillion in state budget revenue – the highest target ever set for the province. Achieving this goal requires determination and concrete plans from provincial departments, agencies, and sectors.

Le Thanh Van, Deputy Head of the Customs Sub-department of Region XVIII, shared that administrative reform and customs modernisation had always been prioritised to facilitate enterprises. The customs sector has implemented various modernisation plans. To date, the Customs Sub-department of Region XVIII has applied 105 administrative procedures electronically through the online public service system at levels 3 and 4.

Dong Nai currently hosts more than 4,000 enterprises from outside the province with branches in the locality. Yet, they have not declared independent accounting in Dong Nai to contribute to the provincial state budget. The tax sector is preparing a list and will encourage these enterprises to carry out independent accounting declarations in Dong Nai in the near future.

Thanks to strong solutions, professional activities have been stabilised and have achieved positive results. Administrative reform and customs modernization, along with efforts to resolve difficulties and create favorable conditions for import and export activities, have been promoted effectively.

Assessing budget collection results in recent years and setting directions for the future, Nguyen Toan Thang, Head of Dong Nai Tax Department, affirmed that the tax sector is mobilising all resources and implementing decisive and synchronized measures in revenue management, tax debt recovery, and anti-revenue loss, with the goal of achieving the 2025 state budget target. Within the new target of VND 100 trillion in state budget revenue, domestic tax revenue is expected to reach VND 62 trillion. Accordingly, the tax sector will adopt the most effective solutions such as accelerating digital transformation and comprehensively applying artificial intelligence in tax administration and services for taxpayers.

In addition, the tax sector has implemented other measures, such as effectively enforcing the 2019 Law on Tax Administration, ensuring the accurate, sufficient, and timely collection of taxes, fees, charges, and other revenues into the state budget in line with legal regulations. Measures on tax deferrals, exemptions, and land rent reductions that have already been issued will also be implemented to support enterprises and citizens. The sector will proactively exploit revenues from land and mineral resources and strengthen coordination with other departments and agencies in areas such as land-related revenues, registration fees, corporate income tax, personal income tax from real estate transfers, and capital transfers of enterprises and individuals.
