Actively support businesses

A series of large projects newly invested in Quang Nam have opened many promises for import and export goods in this province. Quang Nam Customs Department has also quickly provided solutions to support enterprises to implement these projects.

On March 24, at the Chu Lai - Truong Hai port, the first fruit shipment of 30 containers (600 tons of bananas), worth 540,000 USD, was exported to Thanh Dao (China) by THADI Company, belonging to THACO Truong Hai Group. This fruit shipment started the plan to export more than 300,000 tons of fruit in 2019 and the target of exporting 1 million tons of fruit by 2021 by THADI and Hoang Anh Gia Lai Agriculture (HNG).

In support of this large-scale export project, the leaders of Quang Nam Customs Department have directed professional departments and Ky Ha Port Border Gate Customs Branch to directly work and talk with businesses for the best support plan of exporting goods. The first shipment was exported with fast and convenient procedures.

Besides the above agricultural export project, at the end of March 2019, Truong Hai Automobile Joint Stock Company started four big projects in Chu Lai Open Economic Zone with investment capital of 15,000 billion VND. In which, the project of expanding mechanical and automobile industrial zone with an area of 115 ha and the total investment capital for infrastructure of 1,600 billion VND was available to attract and develop supporting industries to reduce costs and increase the localization rate for tourist cars, which is over 40%, meeting the conditions for exporting to ASEAN countries by 2020.

Along with that is the project to expand and invest in building a port of 50,000 tons with a port length of 790m and a total investment of 2,600 billion VND. In particular, in stage one, 335m downstream will be built and expanded with a total investment of 1,100 billion VND to welcome ships with a tonnage of up to 50,000 tons. At the same time, export goods will be exploited to create convection sources for international maritime routes, thereby reducing transportation costs, contributing to attracting investment in Chu Lai open economic zone in the future.

According to the leaders of Quang Nam Customs Department, to overcome the difficulty in managing export goods in the large area, including Nam Giang border gate, Tay Giang secondary border gate, Ky Ha Seaport, Chu Lai port and Dien Nam - Dien Ngoc Industrial Park, the unit has arranged cadres and civil servants in accordance with their capabilities and professional skills to support and complete procedures for businesses conveniently. Along with that, the unit has proposed specialized management agencies to shorten the time for specialized inspection for import and export goods to facilitate businesses, thereby shortening the time to release goods.

Striving to complete the revenue targets

In 2019, Quang Nam Customs Department was assigned by the Ministry of Finance to estimate the state budget revenue of 4,600 billion VND and assigned the target of 4,700 billion VND, an increase of 4.43% compared to the actual revenue of 2018. In the context that the import tax rate has been drastically reduced under the roadmap to implement international commitments, especially, the imported automobiles from ASEAN countries has significantly affected the domestic automobile industry, especially the import tax incentive program for auto parts and accessories according to Decree 125/2017/ND-CP. With the structure of the budget revenue in the main unit of Truong Hai Group accounting for over 95% of the revenue of the entire unit, the unit's budget revenue target in 2019 is quite hard. Being aware of this responsibility, in addition to focusing on supporting businesses to implement investment projects conveniently, in order to catch up the budget revenue source, Quang Nam Customs Department has implemented many professional solutions to reform procedures and nurture the revenue sources.

Accordingly, the units focused on improving administrative procedures, modernizing customs, facilitating trade and goods import and export activities to shorten customs clearance time and expenses, monitoring and arranging closely the situation of state budget collection and payment, analyzing and reporting on time the impact factors of international integration commitments to the state budget collection, promptly handling problems of tax policies affecting revenues.

At the same time, Quang Nam Customs Department also reviewed and evaluated the traditional revenue sources, forecasted new revenue sources that could arise in the year, and actively worked with enterprises, especially large and potential ones, grasped information on the situation of import and export activities of enterprises, thereby building a plan to support businesses, and at the same time building state budget revenue estimates of the units.

Quang Nam Customs Department also created favorable conditions for enterprises to do import and export activities, expand their production and attract new investment enterprises in the area. They proactively propagated and closely followed the operation plans of enterprises with large revenues and potential enterprises in order to timely guide and solve difficulties and obstacles, help businesses understand correctly, fully and voluntarily observe the provisions of law in implementing import and export goods.

Additionally, the unit improved the efficiency of the Recovery Team, urged debt collection, coordinated with commercial banks, police, local tax agencies, and related legal agencies in dealing with difficulties in tax debt recovery and anti-tax collection.
