HCMC halts tax assessment for social housing apartments in Binh Dong Ward over developer’s late dossier

The HCMC Land Registration Office has asked the tax authority to cancel tax assessment information for a group of social housing apartments in Apartment Block CC1 – Zone 2 (Ben Luc Resettlement Area, Binh Dong Ward), because the developer was late completing survey drawings, leaving no basis to issue certificates to buyers.

Key dates in the dossier

• Letter of 24/9/2026: the HCMC Land Registration Office asked Grassroots Tax Office 8 not to assess tax for apartments in Apartment Block CC1 – Zone 2, Binh Dong Ward.
• The project’s developer is Hoang Quan Real Estate Consulting – Trading – Service JSC.
• March and April 2025: the land registration office sent three cadastral information transfer forms so the tax authority could determine buyers’ financial obligations.
• 27/11/2025: the authority asked the developer to cooperate in surveying and redrawing the site plan and apartment layouts; the company did not do so.
• 19/3/2026: the land registration office notified Hoang Quan Company and returned the entire dossier, as there was no basis to process the pink books.
• The cadastral transfer forms sent earlier can therefore no longer be used as the basis for tax assessment.

Residents’ complaints and review results

• Households submitted statements saying the developer told them the tax authority refused the forms because they were sent to the wrong office, but there was no official refusal letter.
• The authorities’ review found that the pink books have not been issued because the developer has not completed the drawings as required.
