The General Department of Taxation attributed the results to the positive economic growth in the first few months of this year, which it attributed to the recovery of business and production activities in the midst of a pandemic situation that was under control.

Along with drastic measures to strengthen tax management, the sector has implemented solutions to help people and businesses promote business and production, such as the reduction of environmental protection tax on fuels and the elimination of some fees.

The department forecast many difficulties and challenges in budget collection in the time to come. To assist tax payers, it has directed taxation agencies to review income sources and accelerate administrative reform and the digitalization of tax management.
