Specifically, why were many business directors in Nghe An temporarily suspended from leaving the country?
(Baonghean.vn) - As reported by Nghe An newspaper, recently, a number of directors of enterprises in Nghe An who owe tax have been notified of temporary suspension of departure from the country. According to the tax authority, these are enterprises that have been slow to pay their debts and have been in arrears for many years.
The representative of the Song Lam 1 Tax Department in charge of Do Luong, Tan Ky, and Thanh Chuong districts said: Currently, the unit still has about 10 billion VND in tax arrears that businesses have not paid for many years. Since October 26, the Song Lam Tax Department has also issued notices on the temporary suspension of entry and exit for 2 business leaders, including: Mr. To Anh Phuong - Director of Kieu Phuong Company Limited and Mr. Tran Dinh Hai - Director of Quy Van Construction Company Limited (Tan Ky).

Kieu Phuong Company Limited operates in the fields of construction, cattle breeding, etc.; due to business losses, it has owed over 1 billion VND in taxes for over 10 years. The tax debts include: Value Added Tax, Corporate Income Tax, and Land Rent. In recent years, the tax authorities have implemented many debt collection measures such as debt notices, invoice enforcement, and corporate account enforcement, but the company still does not comply with paying the remaining tax debt.
According to the representative of the Tax Department of Song Lam 1 area, in addition to announcing the temporary suspension of exit for the above tax-indebted enterprises, if the enterprises do not comply with tax payment, in the coming time, the tax authority will implement strong measures such as recommending the revocation of the enterprise's Business Registration Certificate.
At the Bac Nghe II Tax Branch (Nghe An Tax Department), there are also many businesses with long-standing debts; on October 27, the tax authority also issued notices on temporary suspension of exit for business representatives.
A representative of the Bac Nghe II Tax Department said: A typical example is Mr. Hoang Quoc Hung (born in 1984 - Yen Thanh district), Director of Ly Hung Company Limited, which operates in the field of gasoline and oil in Hop Thanh commune (Yen Thanh). After 120 days, he currently owes 630 million VND in taxes, including value added tax, corporate income tax, fines, and late payment fees. Although the tax authority has notified the debt every month and enforced the bank account..., this company has refused to pay.

Up to this point, businesses managed by the Bac Nghe II Tax Department still owe over 14 billion VND. In the near future, the tax authority will implement other measures, such as strengthening debt collection measures, enforcement, freezing accounts and invoices, and inviting businesses to work with the People's Committees of related districts.
Regarding the form of temporary suspension of exit notice for businesses with outstanding debts, it is a necessary measure to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency in tax management, prevent revenue loss, and increase revenue for the budget, but the tax authority does not cause difficulties for businesses.
According to the report of Nghe An Tax Department, as of October 31, 2022, the entire province managed by the Tax sector owes 1,511 billion VND in taxes, of which collectible debt is 1,361 billion VND, difficult-to-collect debt is 146 billion VND...
It is known that the reason for the difficulty in collecting tax arrears in recent times is partly due to the severe impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, causing many businesses to fall into a difficult situation, with low revenue and limited operations.
Besides, there are some enterprises investing in new production fields, with limited competitiveness in the market, high input costs, and not much consumption of manufactured products, but still having to operate the production line system, leading to losses and no money to pay taxes.
