Earlier, the NA Standing Committee approved a resolution on an environmental
tax list, which aims to raise public awareness of the responsibilities in
environmental protection, while encouraging organisations and individuals to
use environmentally-friendly products.
The committee agreed with the Government’s proposal on adjusting the
environmental tax rate on some products, including fuel. Specifically, the rate
for petrol was suggested to increase from 3,000 VND per litre to the ceiling
level of 4,000 VND per litre, while that of diesel oil to be raised from 1,500
VND per litre to 2,000 VND per litre, and fuel oil from 900 VND per litre to
the ceiling rate of 2,000 VND per litre. The tax rate on kerosene was proposed
to be pushed up from 300 VND per litre to 1,000 VND per litre.
The resolution also adjusts the tax rate for products that take a more lasting
toll on the environment, such as fossil coal, herbicides, anti-termite
chemicals, plastic bags, and restricted antiseptics.
The same day, members of the committee also debated the revised Law on Tax Management.

Mutual love and support is a long-standing tradition of Vietnam. In any circumstance, the Vietnamese people always uphold the traditional spirit of staying united and supporting one another to surmount difficulties and adversities. Continuing this fine tradition, in the face of the 1945 famine, President Ho Chi Minh initiated the "Rice jar to save the hungry” movement and took the lead in implementing this campaign by abstaining from one meal each week to save rice for those without food. His example of morality and affection for people has been and is being followed by residents across Hoa Binh province.
