Ms. Yen stated that the current Law on Personal Income Tax stipulates that in cases where the consumer price index fluctuates by more than 20%, the Government will propose to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly to adjust the level of personal allowances.
The law also allows the Government to propose adjustments to the Standing Committee. At the 10th session, the Government is expected to submit a comprehensive revision of the Law on Personal Income Tax, which will include adjustments to personal allowances.
Previously, in an interview with Tien Phong newspaper, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc stated that the Government will submit this law to the National Assembly for consideration at the 10th session, which will take place in October.
The lawmakers also agreed that the National Assembly should consider amendments at the nearest session, with the revised law taking effect from the beginning of 2026.
Monitoring the fulfillment of promises
Regarding the issue of extra classes, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Hoa, Vice Chairman of the Committee for Cultural and Social Affairs, continued to emphasize several reasons for the prevalence of extra classes.
These reasons include the desire for better academic performance, lack of schools and infrastructure, etc. According to Ms. Mai Hoa, this is a reality that the National Assembly’s supervision program has pointed out.
To address this situation, during the questioning session, the Minister of Education and Training pledged to invest in equipment and infrastructure to enable two-session school days.
At the closing session, the National Assembly issued a resolution on questioning activities, which included a focus on increasing investment in infrastructure and ensuring the conditions for implementing two-session school days.
“This provides a basis for the National Assembly to continue supervising the implementation of the proposed solutions,” said Ms. Hoa.
In addition, the National Assembly will also monitor the education budget and related projects, such as infrastructure improvement.
