At the meeting, based on the opinions of the delegates, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Xuan Son emphasized: Budget collection is one of the key tasks of the province and public opinion is raising many concerns.

Therefore, the Provincial People's Council must step in to supervise and find out difficulties, problems and shortcomings; on that basis, make appropriate recommendations and effective tax management mechanisms, increase revenue and limit tax losses in the area.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son requested that the monitoring process needs to clarify the State management responsibilities of relevant agencies, units and taxpayers in implementing tax laws.

Regarding taxpayers, the focus is on monitoring enterprises with large revenue sources in the fields of production and business, real estate investment, basic construction, automobile and motorbike trading, hydropower projects; paying attention to enterprises reporting losses but still expanding production and business scale...; and individual business households.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Hoang Viet Duong said that the monitoring subjects need to pay attention to business individuals who are qualified to establish a business, but do not establish a business, have revenue of hundreds of billions but still only pay personal income tax.
