Support for typhoon-affected businesses in Hai Duong
Shortly after Typhoon Yagi swept through Hai Duong, the provincial banking and tax sectors quickly made contact to find solutions to help businesses overcome difficulties and soon recover production and business.
Desolate factories
On the morning of September 18, 10 days after Typhoon Yagi swept through Hai Duong province, Quang Minh Aluminum Co., Ltd. in Tu Ky district was still urgently handling damage. The entire 3,000 m2 workshop of the company completely collapsed on September 7 - the day the storm made landfall in Hai Duong, crushing almost all the goods inside.
Gusts also blew away the corrugated iron roof of the office building and knocked down the solar power system and the cold storage ceiling of Thang Loi Co., Ltd. in Hai Duong city as well as causing heavy losses to its facility in Tu Ky district.
Immediately after the storm passed, the firm mobilized human resources to urgently clean up the facilities and run generators to ensure the quality of dozens of tons of goods in the cold storage.
“We suffer a preliminary loss of more than 2 billion VND, but we cannot be discouraged because there remain a lot of pending orders of foreign partners. In particular, we must ensure jobs and income of workers, who have shared joys and sorrows with us,” said director of the company Dinh Van Chuc.
As for VTC Group JSC. in Kinh Mon town, typhoon Yagi caused preliminary damage of more than 30 billion VND for the company, mainly from workshops, machines, and infrastructure.
Joint restoration
The provincial banking sector recorded about 1,550 customers suffering damage because of Typhoon Yagi, with outstanding loans worth more than 3,000 billion VND.
“As soon as the typhoon passed, leaders of the bank we borrowed money visited, encouraged us, and committed to having appropriate support solutions,” said Nguyen Van Hoc, Director of Nguyen Duc Cuong Trading One Member Co., Ltd. in Tu Ky district.
“In the immediate future, the bank will review and reduce interest rates on damaged loans as well as considering new ones for us without requiring additional collateral,” Hoc added.
Besides, the provincial tax sector has checked regulations on tax exemption, reduction, and extension due to the impact of natural disasters.
“Taxpayers who suffer damage caused by Typhoon Yagi should proactively prepare and submit documents to their direct tax authority for consideration and settlement according to regulations,” said Vu Doan Ngoc Hung, Deputy Director of the provincial Taxation Department.
Direct tax management teams are also ready to assist taxpayers in completing procedures for tax extension, exemption, and reduction due to storms and floods.
