Minister Ho Duc Phoc said due to objective reasons, some sources of revenue declined significantly, such as the environmental protection tax on gasoline and oil and revenue from houses and land, which went down by over 38% and 53% year-on-year, respectively.

The official noted the collection work has so far ensured progress to meet the 2023 estimate of more than 1.62 quadrillion VND. However, difficulties are abundant for the remaining part of the year.
