Dong Nai ensures stable state budget collection after administrative merger

(ĐN) – Following the administrative merger and implementation of the two-tier local government model, Dong Nai authorities have consolidated the state budget (SB) estimates as guided by the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance.

In the second half of 2025, tax and customs agencies are accelerating efforts to stabilize operations and comprehensively review revenue sources under the newly restructured province.

Despite the administrative adjustments, the budget management system remains uninterrupted. As of June 30, the province had collected over VND 44.3 trillion, fulfilling 63% of the national target and 60% of the provincial plan. Of this, domestic revenue accounted for VND 33.2 trillion.

Tax and customs departments swiftly updated organizational structures and digital systems, ensuring that taxpayers continued receiving timely support. E-tax applications and interlinked enterprise platforms have also been adjusted to reflect new administrative boundaries.

Meanwhile, multiple new tax policies have recently come into force, including revisions to VAT law, e-invoices generated via cash registers, and updated rules on household businesses and on-site imports/exports. These policies have a direct impact on revenue collection, prompting stronger monitoring and communication efforts from relevant agencies.

Looking ahead, Dong Nai aims to collect over VND 73 trillion for the full year. To meet this goal, authorities are stepping up digital transformation in customs procedures and intensifying inspection efforts. Customs units are also prioritizing anti-smuggling measures, origin fraud detection, and enhanced enterprise facilitation.

To improve taxpayer services, the tax department has launched new support channels, including Zalo groups to facilitate real-time guidance for businesses. Additionally, agencies are reviewing tax compliance across industries and branches, identifying untapped or at-risk revenue sources to prevent losses.

Furthermore, heightened scrutiny is being placed on high-risk transactions, retail operations, and food services. Authorities are also scaling up the implementation of e-invoicing and point-of-sale system to combat tax evasion and streamline customs-related duties.
