Since the beginning of 2021, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the production and business situation in the mountainous district of Que Phong has encountered more difficulties. Determining that budget collection is an important task, Phu Quy I Tax Department has coordinated with all levels and sectors to integrate propaganda content to promote tax collection to each citizen, especially business and trading entities.
In 2021, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, production and business in Que Phong district declined, economic growth was low. In addition, due to harsh weather conditions, floods, droughts; African swine fever, lumpy skin disease in buffaloes and cows; economic decline has reduced social purchasing power; some businesses and business households have encountered difficulties and are unable to pay taxes, so they owe taxes. At the same time, the State has issued many policies on tax exemption, reduction, and extension for taxpayers, leading to a decrease in budget revenue. However, with the efforts of the unit, as of October 25, Que Phong district has collected more than 19.3 billion VND in taxes/the province's plan of 21,580 billion VND (reaching 89.6% of the plan).
