Nghe An Tax Department also recommended that the province increase the attraction of investment projects with large budget revenues; request the province to promptly handle investors who have been granted land and licenses but have not implemented them, causing difficulties in revenue sources; some companies are licensed to operate in Nghe An but have not established branches in Nghe An, generating revenue but the provincial tax department cannot collect taxes.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoa - Director of the Tax Department reported on the budget collection situation in the area and proposed a number of issues on increasing revenue.
