Middle And Low Income Persons And Small And Medium-Sized Enterprises Are Most Unreasonable About Tax Burden.

Forbes called China

Scholars say that "the country is not rich, the people are not poor".

Data released by the Ministry of Finance showed that the national fiscal revenue in the first 8 months was 7 trillion and 428 billion 629 million yuan, an increase of 30.9% over the same period last year.

Therefore, fiscal revenue will exceed 10 trillion this year.

On the other hand, most residents feel that their incomes have not increased significantly.

Many people worry that China's fiscal revenue growth will be too fast, or will inhibit the enthusiasm of residents and enterprises, and lead to "the rich and the poor".

"Wealth of nations"?

Wang Zhaocai, deputy director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of finance, analyzed to China Economic Weekly that GDP was adjusted to about 40 trillion last year. GDP should be 45 trillion this year, 10 trillion of revenue only a little more than GDP 20%, and a debt of more than 20 trillion yuan.

If we get rid of the income of land and so on, it is not really high.

Is the people poor?

"We can not talk about the poor people, we can only say that the proportion of national income distribution is a little smaller."

Dynasty talent.

Wang Zhaocai shared the same views as Liu Huan, the State Council counselor and vice president of the tax School of Central University of Finance and Economics. He accepted the China Economic Weekly interview and said decisively: "the wealth of the nation and the poor should be negated."

Liu Huan's judgement is based on the fact that China's fiscal budget reform is making greater structural adjustment and tilting to the people's livelihood. The proportion of financial revenue used to people's living expenses is much higher than in the past.

According to data released by the Ministry of finance, last year

"Generally speaking, the productive and constructive finance is moving towards the public finance of the people's livelihood, and the intensity is considerable."

Liu Huan said.

Who feels the most unreasonable tax burden?

In response to Forbes's claim that China's tax burden index is global second, the people's daily denied that China's macro tax burden is low.

Forbes's "tax misery index" is based on enterprise income tax, personal income tax, personal and enterprise pay social insurance premiums, value-added tax, property tax six tax simple addition algorithm, scientific is not good, and can not reflect the real situation.

The reason is that there are many defects in this calculation method, including nominal tax rate is not equal to the actual tax rate, and the maximum marginal tax rate is very small.

At the same time, we quoted many data from China Statistical Yearbook 2010 and interviewed a number of experts, pointing out that China's tax burden is not high according to the international standard "macro tax burden".

In response, Forbes responded again, "

However, people's daily and Forbes have come to a common conclusion: the middle and low income people and small and medium-sized enterprises are most unreasonable about the current tax burden level.

Fu Guangming, deputy head of the discipline inspection group and director of the monitoring room of the Hubei Provincial Department of finance, said that the purpose of the state and government's ruling is to realize the affluence of all the people, so that more financial revenue can be used for people's livelihood projects.

In the case of the rapid growth of China's current fiscal revenue, it is imperative to reduce taxes.

Structural tax cuts are the way.

Tax reduction has become the main way of tax reform in China. In 2004, Premier Wen Jiabao made the three tax reform in his government work report.

In recent years, structural tax reduction has gradually become the main form of tax reform in China.

The term "structural tax reduction" was first put forward at the central economic work conference held in early December 2008.

The so-called structural tax reduction is a tax reform plan with "increase and decrease, structural adjustment". It aims to achieve a specific target and reduce the negative tax level for specific groups and specific taxes.

Liu Huan told the China Economic Weekly that the central government clearly pointed out that "structural tax cuts" should be implemented in 12th Five-Year.

There are two points in the structural tax reduction: first, the tax burden in China should be reduced as a whole, so that enterprises should have a more relaxed business environment and conditions; second, the tax adjustment of the tax system will be increased or reduced.

Such as VAT, which is closely related to the common people, should be further reduced.

For example, in environmental protection, in order to curb the development of industries with high energy consumption and high pollution, we must take resolute measures to impose high taxes on them and compensate for the environmental damage caused by pollution.

Jia Kang, director of the Fiscal Science Research Institute of the Ministry of finance, also pointed out that structural tax cuts should be carried out. "Tax concessions for small businesses and enterprises should be given tax concessions as much as possible, but at the same time there must be structural tax increases. The most typical one is resource tax. In addition, there should be an increase or decrease in specific taxes."
