Initially, theministry will focus on effectively implementing the policy to reduce thevalue added tax (VAT) by 2% as applied in 2023 on a number of goods and servicegroups subject for 10% VAT that was approved by the 15th National Assembly at its 6th session, the minister told the Vietnam News Agency.

At the same time, the ministry will propose the NA Standing Committee tocontinue to apply the policy to reduce the environmental protection tax rateson gasoline, oil, and lubricants as applied in 2023, said the minister, addingthat this policy may cause a drop of about 42.5 trillion VND in the State budget.

This requires thesector to ensure the proper deployment of fiscal policies to promote economicgrowth, ensure macro-economic stability, rein in inflation and protecting thenational financial safety at the same time. Therefore, the level of policy relaxationneeds to be carefully calculated and considered to achieve the above goals, inwhich, macroeconomic stability and inflation control are still considered toppriorities, said Phoc.
