According to Ms. Tran Cam Van, Head of Tax Office No. 2 in Nghe An, the collection of state budget revenue in the province in 2016 recorded many positive results, creating an important foundation for the locality to complete its assigned financial and budgetary tasks.
Tax Department No. 2 currently manages the following communes: Hung Nguyen, Yen Trung, Hung Nguyen Nam, Lam Thanh, Van An, Nam Dan, Dai Hue, Thien Nhan, and Kim Lien.
To date, total state budget revenue at the unit has reached over 1,816.6 billion VND, equivalent to 212% of the legally mandated budget estimate, achieving 70% of the targeted budget estimate, and increasing by 120% compared to the same period last year.

Out of 11 revenue items, 9 exceeded the legally mandated budget estimates and simultaneously showed growth compared to the same period last year. This result indicates that budget revenue collection in the area is maintaining positive momentum, creating room to continue achieving revenue targets for the entire year.
Notably, land use fees continued to be the main contributor, reaching over VND 1,515.5 billion, equivalent to 251% of the legally mandated budget and a 173% increase compared to the same period last year. This result mainly came from revenue from land use right auctions in communes such as Kim Lien, Dai Hue, Hung Nguyen, and Thien Nhan. In addition, personal income tax reached VND 45.7 billion, exceeding the budget by 14% and increasing by 20% compared to the same period last year, linked to positive developments in the land market, auction activities, and an increase in the number of transaction files.
In some localities, local authorities are urging mineral mines to connect data from weighing stations and camera systems to enhance management and reduce resource tax revenue losses.
Mr. Nguyen Khac Son, Vice Chairman of the Quang Dong Commune People's Committee, said that there are currently four quarries in the commune. All quarries have installed weighing stations, camera systems, and connected data and images with the tax authorities and police force, thereby contributing to controlling mining and transportation output and preventing tax evasion.
Proactively create opportunities for increased revenue.
According to the Nghe An Provincial Tax Department's report, by the beginning of September, the total state budget revenue in the province had reached 23,364 billion VND, equivalent to 100.1% of the assigned target and an increase of 27.8% compared to the same period last year. With this result, Nghe An became one of the three localities nationwide to have completed its assigned budget revenue target.
A significant contribution to the above results came from revenue from land use fees, reaching approximately 8,500 billion VND, exceeding the projected amount by 40%. This revenue mainly came from land use right auctions that arose from the end of 2025 and were conducted and remitted to the state budget in the first months of 2026.
Besides revenue from land, taxes, fees, and charges continue to maintain positive growth. Total revenue from this group reached approximately 12,000 billion VND, equivalent to 80% of the projected amount and a 20% increase compared to the same period last year. Of the 15 revenue items, 9 are progressing well; the remaining 6 have not yet reached the payment deadline, so they do not fully reflect the revenue potential for the whole year.
To achieve these results, the Nghe An Tax Department has implemented a comprehensive set of solutions to strengthen risk management, effectively exploit revenue sources, combat revenue loss, and foster sustainable revenue growth. The combined effect of expanding the tax base from production and business activities, improving the investment environment, and digital transformation in tax management is the reason why budget revenue has reached its target ahead of schedule.
Inspection work,The audits were conducted using a risk management approach, focusing on areas with a high potential for revenue loss, such as e-commerce, digital platform businesses, related-party transactions, transfer pricing, real estate, resources, minerals, and value-added tax refunds.
In addition, the Tax Department is strengthening coordination with departments, agencies, and local authorities to closely manage revenue sources and ensure the fair and transparent implementation of tax policies. Land, mineral resources, e-commerce, and business activities continue to be identified as areas requiring enhanced supervision.
Efforts to recover outstanding tax debts have also been intensified, linked to addressing transfer pricing, invoice trading, tax evasion, and tax fraud. This is considered a crucial solution to both increase budget revenue and create a fair and transparent business environment for enterprises.
Alongside its revenue collection nhiệm vụ, the Nghe An Provincial Tax Department continues to promote administrative reform and digital transformation, aiming to build a modern, professional tax agency that prioritizes taxpayers.
Currently, 100% of administrative procedures related to taxation are provided online in their entirety and integrated into the National Public Service Portal. The eTax Mobile application continues to be upgraded and enhanced with many useful features, while the automated personal income tax refund system has been implemented, contributing to shortening processing time, reducing compliance costs, and enhancing transparency.
Taxpayer outreach and support efforts have also been significantly reformed. Hundreds of training conferences and dialogues have been organized; digital platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Zalo MiniApp, and the "Virtual Tax Assistant" chatbot have been utilized to bring tax policies closer to citizens, businesses, and households. The province's achievements in recent times, such as boosting public investment, launching many large projects, a strong increase in the industrial production index, and relatively high export turnover, are positive signs for the budget.
In the final months of the year, Nghe An Tax Department is determined to continue closely monitoring economic developments, proactively analyzing and forecasting revenue sources by locality, sector, and tax type to promptly implement appropriate management solutions. Digital transformation, big data, and artificial intelligence will continue to be strengthened in tax management. Tools for collecting and analyzing taxpayer data are expected to enhance risk identification capabilities, serving inspection, combating tax evasion, and preventing tax fraud.
In addition, the Tax Department continues to coordinate with relevant departments, agencies, and local authorities to effectively manage revenue from land, mineral resources, e-commerce, business activities, etc.
With positive revenue collection results and a comprehensive system of solutions being implemented, Nghe An Provincial Tax Department aims to further improve the efficiency of revenue management, combat revenue loss, recover tax debts, promote administrative reform, and enhance the quality of service for taxpayers. Through this, it strives to achieve and surpass the revenue collection targets and tasks for 2026.
