Of this amount, domestic revenue is estimated at over 2.19 quadrillion VND, accounting for around 98% of total revenue, exceeding the estimate by 31.4% and increasing by 29.3% year on year.
Notably, all of the 34 localities nationwide have met and exceeded their assigned State budget revenue targets. This also marks the first time that revenue managed by tax authorities has surpassed the 2 quadrillion VND threshold.
