The VCCI Chairman shared that the press plays a very important role. In the new period, when the institutions have been loosened and the private economy is identified as an important driving force of the economy, the press needs to accompany more deeply and effectively.

According to VCCI Chairman Pham Tan Cong, in the past, in the early stages of renovation, the press strongly encouraged individuals who dared to think and act, pioneering in investing capital in business. Today, when the business community has developed widely, the press still needs to continue to be a bridge, a driving force to create momentum and inspire entrepreneurs - the soldiers on the economic front.

Bringing Resolution 68 into life

A representative of the Financial - Investment Times asked, with the responsibility of being an organization representing the business community, how will VCCI connect the press and businesses to bring Resolution 68 into life?

Sharing on this issue, the Chairman of VCCI affirmed that Resolution 68 is a strategic decision, demonstrating the determination of the Central Government in unlocking production resources, creating conditions for the private economy to develop more strongly, becoming an important pillar of the economy.

“Previously, the private sector was still fragmented, and there was still a mentality of not wanting to grow. But with Resolution 68, we can expect a new economic era when confidence is restored and institutions are strongly improved,” Chairman Pham Tan Cong expressed.

At the same time, the Chairman of VCCI emphasized that in the coming time, VCCI will continue to perform its tasks in accordance with its functions, focusing on promoting the development of the Vietnamese business community and enterprises. To realize Resolution 68, VCCI has developed a specific plan, focusing on improving institutions and the business environment, creating the most favorable conditions for the private economic sector.

The Chairman of VCCI emphasized that in the coming time, VCCI will continue to perform its tasks in accordance with its functions, focusing on promoting the development of the Vietnamese business community and enterprises.

“We are also operating a specialized center to closely coordinate with press agencies, in order to provide complete, accurate and timely information, thereby accompanying businesses on their development journey, especially in the implementation phase of Resolution 68. The press will continue to be a companion, contributing to creating momentum, confidence and new momentum for the business community,” Mr. Pham Tan Cong shared.

In addition, VCCI continues to strongly promote connection activities between businesses. In particular, human resource training and improving business ethics and culture will also be strategic focuses in the coming time.

Lump sum tax and roadmap for business household conversion

Another issue that many reporters are interested in is the impact of eliminating lump sum tax - a new point in the implementation of Resolution 68. Representatives of Thanh Nien Newspaper and VOV both raised concerns about the possibility of conversion of more than 2 million business households after the policy change.

VCCI representative, Mr. Dau Anh Tuan, Deputy Secretary General, Head of the VCCI Legal Department, said that the elimination of lump-sum tax is a major policy, which will create a driving force for business households to be more transparent, gradually transforming into enterprises.

In addition, Mr. Dau Anh Tuan also shared that an advantage in this period is that the tax rate for small and medium-sized enterprises is currently lower than that for business households in the form of lump-sum tax. At the same time, Resolution 198/2025/QH15 also stipulates a 3-year tax reduction for small and medium-sized enterprises, thereby creating a more suitable and complete tax framework.

However, there must be a reasonable roadmap and specific support policies. If you are doing business, you should be equal. In the long term, we must establish a healthy and stable business environment not only in terms of tax but also in the field of goods, so that businesses can confidently invest in sustainable development," the VCCI representative emphasized.

In the coming time, VCCI is always ready to coordinate with the Ministry of Finance and the tax sector to organize dialogues and provide guidance to minimize difficulties for business households.

VCCI Vice Chairmna Hoang Quang Phong expressed his deep gratitude to journalists and reporters who have always accompanied and supported VCCI.
