Nghe An: Temporarily detaining cars to enforce collection of outstanding transportation tax debts

(Baonghean.vn) - Faced with the situation of transport businesses that have been delaying tax payments for a long time, Yen Thanh district (Nghe An) organized enforcement against 25 transport businesses that still owe more than 200 million VND in taxes.

In Dong Thanh commune, despite repeated propaganda, mobilization, sending notices to households as well as publicly posting the list of tax arrears at the commune People's Committee headquarters and announcing on the public broadcasting system, most local transport business households still deliberately delay and do not fulfill their tax payment obligations to the state.

Faced with the above situation, the Yen Thanh District Tax Debt Collection Team coordinated with the People's Committee of Dong Thanh Commune to implement measures to enforce tax administrative decisions by seizing assets such as vehicles of tax-indebted households.

In addition, during the implementation of the task, the interdisciplinary team also discovered and handled two transport business owners who refused to register and fulfill their state tax obligations.

To deal with the authorities, many households deliberately dispersed their assets, moved their vehicles out of the area or locked their homes while away. Some households refused to cooperate, but with a determined attitude combined with analysis, propaganda and mobilization, households complied with their tax obligations.

During the 3 days from May 29 to 31, 9 transport business households fulfilled their tax obligations with an amount of over 85 million VND. The delegation will continue to work to recover all tax arrears in Dong Thanh commune and implement tax arrears collection by coercive measures for the remaining communes, determined to fight against tax losses in the area.
