The Provincial People's Council's monitoring delegation raised many issues, such as the need to clarify the number of business households in the area, including how many individual business households, how many business households have collected taxes; the existing problems and difficulties in the issue of monitoring and checking tax collection authorization through the post office; the issue of public tax payment...

Therefore, the representative of Hong Son ward also requested the City Police to direct the traffic police force, police of wards and communes, and People's Committees of wards and communes to actively coordinate with the Tax Department to review, inspect, handle and manage tax collection of individuals doing transport businesses in the area better.
