- Recently, Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association (HoREA) has issued a document on this issue to the City People's Committee. HoREA said that the Department of Finance proposed increasing the land price adjustment coefficient in 2019 compared to 2018, increasing from 19% to 30%, much higher than the increase in land price adjustment coefficient in 2018 (only at 5-8 levels). , 33%).
- Specifically, the regional land price adjustment coefficient in 2017 is 2 times the land price list of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee specified and announced; in 2018 is 2.1 (up 5% compared to 2017), 2019 is proposed to add 0.4 times so it becomes 2.5 times, up 19% compared to 2018. And the year area Land prices in 2017 were 1.2 times, in 2018 increased 1.3 times (up 8.33% compared to 2017) and the proposed level in 2019 was 1.7 (up 30% compared to 2018).
- The Association recommends that the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee should consider the urban price index (CPI) to consult the land price adjustment coefficient in the area. CPI of the first 9 months of 2018 was only 3.57% compared to the same period in 2017, and for the whole of 2018, the CPI is also forecast to not exceed 4%.
- On the other hand, HoREA also disagrees that the Department of Finance still ranks District 2 in the third area of Ho Chi Minh City to consider the land price adjustment coefficient. In recent years, District 2 has had a very high rate of urbanization, invested and developed synchronously the urban infrastructure system, transport infrastructure, especially Thu Thiem new urban area. However, when dividing the development area of the city, it is very unreasonable that District 2 falls into the third area, lower than District 7 (ranked in the second area).
- This does not ensure the principle of equity for land users when performing their obligation to pay the state budget, because the payment level in District 7 is higher than District 2, while the urban infrastructure conditions of these two districts are equivalent to each other.
- The Association proposed 3 recommendations to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and the Department of Finance for consideration.
