The Draft Amendments To The Individual Tax Are Sought From The Public Today.

Reporters learned from the Legal Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress this morning, and deliberated at the twentieth session of the eleven NPC Standing Committee.

The reporter was informed that in the course of the draft amendments to the tax law submitted to the NPC Standing Committee last week, members who participated in the deliberations discussed whether the tax exemption raised to 3000 yuan is reasonable, whether the family tax is more fair, whether the secondary adjustment is aggravated or not, and how to strengthen the tax collection and management of the high income group.

Some members believe that although the revised tax law has made breakthroughs, it is relatively light in intensity. To reduce the tax burden of the middle and low income groups and increase the gap between the rich and the poor, the draft of the first instance needs further improvement.

Yan told new members that since 2006, the exemption of personal tax has been adjusted three times in five years, and the frequency of adjustment is relatively high.

To avoid two or three years later

The reporter learned that in September 2005, the personal tax threshold was 800 yuan, and the National People's Congress successfully held the first legislative hearing in the history of the people's Congress.

"This hearing is of great significance in the history of Chinese legislation, which is unforgettable."

Huang Jianchu, director of the economic law office of the law enforcement Commission, gave high praise to the hearing.

On October 2005, the eighteenth session of the ten NPC Standing Committee reviewed the draft law again, and the hearing report was printed and distributed to all standing committee members as a meeting information.

The revised tax law passed by the people's Republic of China decides that the monthly payment stipulated in the draft shall be 1500 yuan.

This morning, reporters learned from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress law work committee, today will be in the Chinese people's Congress online to draft the draft, to the public for advice.

Voice of committee members

Provinces and municipalities can fluctuate 1000 yuan up and down.

During the deliberations of last week, Jin Shuoren said that the adjustment of exemption from personal tax was too low, frequent adjustment, not serious enough, and lack of foresight.

At present, the collection of personal tax is far higher than the starting point of the high income class, and a large number of middle and low income groups near the starting point, the working class is the main force of the individual tax, and the individual tax collection has not really achieved the purpose of regulating the personal income gap.

It is suggested that the reference point of exemption from tax be set to 4000 yuan, and the provinces and municipalities can fluctuate up to 1000 yuan according to the actual financial situation of their respective districts.

Xie Kechang suggested that the standard of deduction of wages and salaries (i.e. the amount of exemption from personal taxes) should be changed to the national average wage of the whole year.

We should take into account the average income and inflation of workers to determine the exemption of personal tax. In this way, even if there is inflation, the exemption of personal tax will gradually increase with the increase of the average wage of the society, so as not to add too much burden to the ordinary wage earners.

In addition, such amendments will also help to reduce the number of amendments to the tax law.

Can it be collected by family?

Jin Shuoren, for example, has two families of three families. Only one person in a family has a job, and the monthly income is 3000 yuan, which needs to pay taxes. While three people in another family have jobs and earn 2000 yuan per person per month, they do not pay taxes. Obviously, this phenomenon is not reasonable enough.

It is a general trend to carry out comprehensive tax deduction with family as a unit, and sooner rather than later.

In response, the head of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, on the 20 day, answered a reporter's question, saying that the tax law of our country has taken into account the burden factors of taxpayers when determining the standard of wage deduction.

For example, the adjustment cost reduction standard is to calculate the average cost level of the employees based on 1.93 employees per employee.

According to Xu Xianming's Committee, the reason why we can not pay taxes in the family is that the main body of the tax payment stipulated in our constitution is "citizen individual", and the family is not the subject of tax payment.

If the family is the object of tax payment, it is necessary to amend the constitution first.

In addition, taxation can not solve the problem of unfair distribution of income.

Unfair distribution of income among classes depends mainly on legislative adjustment of tax exemption and improvement of tax rates, unfair distribution of income among groups and adjustment of social policies.
