Da Nang tax office reviews cases of citizens wrongly billed for land tax

Da Nang's tax authorities are addressing reports of citizens receiving overdue tax notices for non-agricultural land use, even after payment. The issue, highlighted by Tuổi Trẻ newspaper, has prompted the Cơ sở 1 Tax Department to review the affected cases in Hòa Khánh ward.

The department explained that the collection of non-agricultural land taxes involves collaboration with ward-level People's Committees. It cited the transition from manual record-keeping to a centralized electronic management system as a source of some data inconsistencies. Factors such as incomplete taxpayer identification, changes in land ownership through transfers, or updated addresses have also contributed to delays in accurately updating records.

Regarding citizens who paid but still received delinquency notices, the tax department stated that system entries are based on data and documentation exchanged and reconciled between agencies. When discrepancies arise, the department will investigate with relevant units and make necessary adjustments. The department also acknowledged feedback about long wait times for taxpayer services and committed to reviewing its procedures to improve efficiency and convenience.

Moving forward, the Cơ sở 1 Tax Department plans to enhance data standardization for non-agricultural land taxes and increase the use of information technology in tax management. It will also strengthen coordination with ward authorities and land management agencies to promptly resolve data discrepancies. Additionally, efforts will be made to guide taxpayers in using electronic tax services for online inquiries and payments.
