DIRECTIVE

OF THE PRIME MINISTER GOVERNMENT DECISION NO. 14/TTG DATED JANUARY 16, 1981 ON
IMPLEMENTING THE RESOLUTION OF DECEMBER 1, 1980 AMENDING ARTICLE 4 OF THE ORDINANCE ISSUED ON JUNE 23, 1980 ON SLAUGHTER TAX

To implement the resolution of December 1, 1980 amending Article 4 of the Ordinance issued on June 23, 1980 regarding slaughter tax, the Prime Minister supplements and amends certain points in Directive No. 202-TTg dated June 25, 1980 as follows:

1. Regarding the taxable value:

Currently, the state-directed purchase price for pork and the free market trading price are excessively disparate. To enhance the effectiveness of slaughter tax, redistribute income, and support procurement efforts while strengthening market management, the Ordinance issued on December 1, 1980 stipulates that slaughter tax shall be levied at a rate of 10% of the value of slaughtered animals based on current prices. Therefore, from now on, for livestock raised by producers or consumers who slaughter them, the taxable value will be determined by provincial and municipal People's Committees based on average free market prices during specific periods (three months or six months).

State-owned commerce is exempt from slaughter tax.

To encourage localities to actively procure and deliver pork, beef, and mutton to central authorities, local budgets shall receive an incentive payment of 10% calculated according to the state-directed procurement price for these products.

2. Regarding reduction in slaughter tax for livestock farmers:

From now on, a 25% reduction in slaughter tax will be applied to the total tax amount of all slaughtered animals raised by farmers, not just the portion retained for personal use as previously stipulated in Directive No. 202-TTg dated June 25, 1980.

This directive shall be uniformly implemented nationwide from January 25, 1981.

The Minister of Finance is responsible for providing detailed guidance on the implementation of this directive.

In organizing its implementation, it is particularly important to emphasize propaganda and explanation of policies so that all levels and sectors fully understand the significance of the amendments in the Ordinance issued on December 1, 1980 and in this directive. Strengthened coordination and cooperation are necessary to link tax collection with livestock development and increased procurement efforts; ensuring farmers clearly see these changes as reasonable and beneficial, thereby encouraging them to actively develop livestock farming and voluntarily fulfill their obligations of selling pork and paying slaughter tax to the state.
