The State Council On Wednesday Discussed Raising The Threshold Of Personal Tax.

On the eve of the national two sessions, Wen Jiabao, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, came to China's government network and Xinhua website on the morning of 27.

Wen Jiabao stressed that during the "12th Five-Year" period, we should make the society more developed and progresses, so that a series of major problems of the national economy and the people's livelihood will be further improved, so that people can live comfortably, comfortably, at ease, and have confidence in the future.

This is Premier Wen Jiabao's online communication with netizens for third consecutive years.

At 8:50 a.m. on the 27 th, Wen Jiabao came to the China government network and Xinhua network's interview room, smiled and greeted the host, then sat down in front of the computer to find out the questions of netizens.

At 9 o'clock, the interview officially began.

Some netizens suggested

When it comes to the reform of income distribution, Wen Jiabao said it would raise the deduction standard of personal income tax.

After the discussion of the State Council, it will be submitted to the NPC for approval.

At 11 a.m., online communication ends.

There were more than 400 thousand postings from users, and more than 110 thousand messages were received by mobile phone platforms.

housing price

In the face of high housing prices, I would like to ask, to curb housing prices, prime minister, do you still have confidence?

I have confidence.

If I do not have confidence and do not work hard, it is dereliction of duty, which is irresponsible to the people.

Some people say that I am "discouraged". Actually, I am not "discouraged".

I believe that as long as we keep the masses in mind, we will achieve the goal of regulation and control.

First, we must increase effective supply.

After reaching 36 million sets of affordable housing, the coverage rate of housing can reach 20%, which will effectively relieve housing pressure.

Second, we must be determined to unswervingly curb investment and speculative housing demand.

Third, we must manage the market well.

The government manages the market mainly by using legal and economic means to prevent selling and selling.

Netizens think much: the government has introduced a series of control measures to reduce housing prices, but people feel that housing prices have been strong.

I remember last February, when you answered questions about how to stabilize housing prices, "I have the determination to manage this matter well within this term of office."

In the face of high housing prices, I would like to ask, to curb housing prices, prime minister, do you still have confidence?

Wen Jiabao: I have confidence.

If I do not have confidence and do not work hard, it is dereliction of duty, which is irresponsible to the people.

From last year to this year, three regulatory measures have been introduced.

It should be said that these three regulatory measures are becoming more and more powerful in general, and more and more targeted, and the trend of excessive rising housing prices has been curbed.

We must keep house prices at a reasonable level. First, we must increase effective supply.

As we all know, last year we invested 5 million 900 thousand sets of affordable housing and completed 3 million 700 thousand units.

This year, we will plan to build 10 million sets of affordable housing and shanty towns.

I think the Central Committee has made this decision. We plan to build 36 million new affordable housing in the next five years.

After reaching 36 million sets of affordable housing, the coverage rate of housing can reach 20%, which will effectively alleviate the pressure on housing, especially to solve the housing requirements of low-income and newly enrolled college students.

Second, we must be determined to unswervingly curb investment and speculative housing demand.

Third, we must manage the market well.

The government manages the market mainly by using legal and economic means to prevent selling and selling.

Here, I would like to say something about the real estate developers. I have not investigated the profits of each real estate developer, but I think that as a member of the society, the real estate developers should be responsible for the society. You should also have moral blood on your body.

Here I would like to talk about the national conditions.

All I want to say is that we want the masses to understand that China should have a housing policy suited to its national conditions.

I advocate small apartment, but the function should be complete.

And from now on, we should pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection. Don't delay this opportunity. This will not only play an important role in housing, but also in the development of China's construction industry.

personal income tax

I think the threshold is too low. I hope the government will solve this problem as soon as possible.

I specifically tell you that this has been included in the agenda of the State Council and will be discussed on Wednesday.

We will increase the deduction standard of personal income tax.

China Mobile mobile tail number 5187: I am a taxi driver. My monthly income is more than 2300 yuan. I just passed the tax threshold. I think the starting point is too low. Now the working class has become a large taxpayer in China. This is unfair. It should pay more taxes, pay less taxes, or even pay taxes. I hope the government will solve this problem as soon as possible.

Wen Jiabao: I specifically told you that this has been included in the agenda of the State Council, and it will be discussed on Wednesday.

We will increase the deduction standard of personal income tax.

After discussing and deciding the State Council, the State Council will approve the NPC.

After this measure comes out, it will benefit the entire middle and low income working-class workers, whether they are workers or cadres, and I think that is the most direct and the most convenient way.

This is the first thing we have done for the common people this year.

The starting point will be raised this year.

Experts say the nine tax rate will also be adjusted.

Zhang Bin, director of the fiscal and Taxation Research Office of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told this reporter that it is certain that the nine level tax rate of personal income tax deduction and salary and salary items will be moved this year in two cities.

Zhang Bin personally thought that the nine level tax level of wage and salary items should be adjusted to no more than five or six.

Yang Weihua, director of the China taxation society and professor of Zhongshan University, said yesterday that judging from the current situation, it is most reasonable to raise the threshold from the current 2000 yuan to 3000 yuan, but considering that the state may gradually improve, Yang Weihua guesses that the possibility of raising to 2500 yuan is the greatest.

As for the tax level adjustment, Yang Weihua believes that the possibility of reducing the tax level to five or six is the largest, the tax rate may also be adjusted to 5%-40%, and the maximum marginal tax rate will be reduced from 45% to 40%.

The minimum level 5% tax rate should be adjusted from the current 500 yuan to 3000 yuan, so the tax burden of the middle and low income people will be greatly reduced.
