Faced with the situation of outstanding debts and prolonged land financial obligations, on the morning of May 7, Vice Chairman of Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee Tran Nam Hung chaired a working session with representatives of relevant departments, branches and enterprises to remove difficulties, urge the recovery of land use fees, land rent and late payment fees to the state budget.
According to the report at the working session, as of May 5, 2025, the whole province still has 35 residential and urban area projects with a debt of more than VND 2,080 billion, of which VND 2,011.8 billion is land use fees, VND 68.8 billion is one-time land rent and more than VND 224 billion is late payment fees. The rate of land use fee collection by organizations is only 1.8% compared to the annual estimate, putting great pressure on the province's budget collection task.
Many projects have been in debt since 2021. Notably, of the above debt, more than VND 500 billion is the amount that enterprises have advanced to pay compensation and site clearance, but up to now, financial agencies and district-level People's Committees have not yet settled the accounts for enterprises to record revenue and expenditure in the State budget.
At the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Tran Nam Hung emphasized that recovering land debts is a key and urgent task. This is not only an obligation to the budget but also demonstrates the commitment to the sustainable development of enterprises in the province. Enterprises must be responsible for the land assigned.
In addition, the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Department of Finance, and district-level People's Committees to coordinate with tax agencies to urgently settle compensation and site clearance amounts that enterprises have advanced and completed ahead of schedule to create conditions for enterprises to deduct financial obligations. At the same time, relevant departments, branches, and localities increase support, remove difficulties, and accompany businesses to the maximum in the process of fulfilling financial obligations to the State.
