Because the land plots are split into 60 m2, the calculation is less than 50,000 VND of non-agricultural tax. However, according to regulations, this level is exempt from paying.

“This causes a lot of loss of tax revenue for the country. After the Department of Natural Resources and Environment let people separate the parcel, the reality is that the owner is not known, causing difficulties for our locality. subdividing lots, selling plots but actually not, blowing up prices, making the local real estate market very complicated,” said Khuat Van Xuyen, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Co Dong commune, Son Tay town, Hanoi. .

According to the local government, the origin of this land is both residential land and perennial crop land of the people, then the landowners buy it back and convert it into long-term residential land, subdivision, split plots, to sell. However, after dividing the plots, these land lots were hardly put into use, just left empty.

Experienced investors said that the fact that these land lots have passed through many countries, ie through the hands of many investors, so the ability to make a profit for later buyers is often very low.
