　　 "Moon cake tax" has changed the flavor of moon cakes.

　 　 JINGWAH times Commentator Zhou Junsheng:

The appearance of taxes such as "moon cake tax" actually reflects the trend of tax collection, and the object of taxation is ordinary people.

The Mid Autumn Festival is coming, and when the news of "monthly payment of unit cakes is also paid", many people are "very hurt".

The tax department levies taxes on the welfare articles issued by the units such as mooncakes, which are not collected from the Mid Autumn Festival this year. In the face of the interview, tax officials did not shy away from this, but made it clear that the monthly cakes provided by the units and the free one-day tours provided to employees should be combined as the taxable income and the wages paid in the same month.

The tax department levying "moon cake tax" naturally has laws to follow. But the emergence of this tax still causes people's emotional contusion. On the face of it, although the moon cakes issued by the units to the employees are not currencies, they actually save the employees' expenditure for the purchase of moon cakes, which is equivalent to an increase in income for their employees. From an economic point of view, it is also a transfer of wealth. Tax departments have a reason to levy taxes. However, this kind of welfare articles to the moon reflects the concern of the unit to the employees to some extent.

Although the tax is mandatory, it does not mean that the tax authorities can collect public opinion regardless of public opinion. In fact, when a country is taxing, it needs to transfer some resources to some wealth, such as moon cakes, which mainly consist of providing goods that people enjoy to mingle with relatives and enrich their interpersonal relationships.

The appearance of taxes such as "moon cake tax" actually reflects the trend of tax collection, and the object of taxation is ordinary people. Recently, the "property plus name tax" appeared around the judicial interpretation of marriage law. Although the State Administration of Taxation has said that it has not been considered for the moment, some local tax departments will produce such an idea, which in fact reflects the tendency of the tax department to gaze too much at the pockets of ordinary people.

Tax is a way to open up some wealth transfer activities. This does not require tax departments to relax tax collection and management. Instead, it requires tax departments to change the way they work on individual tax collection and to give the society the necessary space for human interaction. It can not be pointed out that due to the imperfections of the system, the tax loss in our country is quite serious. For example, capital gains tax is in a state of "no levying" for a long time. For the gray income, it is because of technical difficulties that it is impossible to establish a management mechanism from tax in the long run. The long-term existence of this situation has led to the fact that the working class has become the main force of the tax, while some of the rich people with a wide income channel are at the edge of personal tax collection. Therefore, for the tax authorities, it is more important to plug the loopholes in this area, rather than pegging the "small profits" in the pockets of ordinary people.
