The MoF has proposed financial policy solutions to promote aggregate domestic consumption demand.
Specifically, the MoF has researched and proposed a number of solutions for next year to reduce taxes, fees and charges, such as continuing the 2 per cent reduction in value added tax and considering reducing the environmental protection tax rate for gasoline and oil as applied this year.
At the same time, it will continue to review and reduce export and import tax rates to support domestic production and business; and reduce the collection of some fees and charges.
Regarding budget revenue this year, the ministry said that budget revenue had reached 85 per cent by October 30, equivalent to VNĐ1.36 quadrillion.
