Zhou Haijiang, President Of The Red Bean Group, Talks About Tax Reduction "Strong Enterprises".

Economic reform is a hot topic of the Party Congress. In response, Zhou Haijiang, the eighteen party representative and the Secretary of the Party committee and President of the red bean group, put forward that we should ensure "enriching the people" and "powerful nation" through further tax reduction and "strong enterprises", which attracted the attention of the delegates and the media.

　　 Zhou Haijiang In the past few years, China has achieved "remarkable achievements" by enriching the people and strengthening the country through economic development and policy guidance. However, we should see that since 1994, the growth of tax revenue in China has been growing faster than economic growth, and the level of macro tax burden has increased year by year, which is far higher than that of GDP, corporate profits and residents' income. In 2012, the nominal target of fiscal revenue to GDP is expected to increase to around 22%, plus other government revenue, with a total tax burden of about 32%. Although the total fiscal revenue in China accounts for GDP ratio and international comparison, it can not be considered too high, but the proportion of indirect tax in the tax structure is too high and the proportion of the enterprises undertaking is too high. Because of the heavy tax burden, many non brand enterprises are losing profits like paper or even many bankruptcies. Many small and medium-sized enterprises survive through tax evasion. The profit margins of brand enterprises are narrower and narrower, thus squeezing the redevelopment space of enterprises.

Zhou Haijiang further analyzed that, at present, Chinese enterprises are paying higher taxes, while their wages and welfare costs are also getting higher and higher. At the same time, all kinds of raw and auxiliary materials cost, logistics cost and operation cost are constantly rising, and the selling price of enterprise products is basically flat or even down. Judging from the profits of enterprises this year, large enterprises like red bean group are fairly good, but some small and medium enterprises, including the 465 foreign processing enterprises that are working together for the red bean group, are generally in a state of low profit, even facing survival crisis.

Enterprises are the foundation of realizing "enriching the people" and "strengthening the nation". If the foundation is not solid, it will be difficult to guarantee and sustain the "enriching the people" and "the great power". From the perspective of economic globalization and participation in international competition, enterprises are playing the leading role in the international arena. The key to the strength of the developed countries in the world economic competition is the number of famous enterprises and the number of large and strong enterprises. One of the important reasons is that their national tax rates are low, enterprises retain more and accumulate more. These developed countries are taking the path of "strong enterprises" to drive "enriching the people" and "great power", and our country can learn from them. And our country truly counts as internationalized enterprises, which is quite small at present, which has something to do with the retention of Chinese enterprises.

How can we consolidate the foundation of "enriching the people" and "strengthening the nation"? Zhou Haijiang suggests reducing taxes for enterprises from the following aspects. First, the tax rate of independent brand enterprises is the same as that of high-tech enterprises. Brand is a symbol of the comprehensive strength of a country and a region. The main brands in the world are concentrated in the developed western countries. Independent brand Only by making China more respected by the whole world and having a large number of independent brands can we grasp the initiative of the economy. Therefore, we should raise the "independent brand" to the same position as "high and new technology enterprises", and have the same tax rate as the hi-tech enterprises in terms of Taxation.

Followed by large-scale structural performance. Tax reduction 。 In recent years, in combination with macroeconomic regulation and social development, China has adopted a series of structural tax reduction measures, such as the merger of corporate income tax, the transformation of value-added tax, and the suspension of interest tax. But now the macroeconomic situation is not good, the confidence of the real economy is insufficient, and the small and medium-sized enterprises are struggling. The state can further reduce taxes for the real economy and small and medium enterprises, or implement incremental tax reduction and tax return, so as to enhance their enthusiasm and promote the development of enterprises. For example, Wuxi has introduced an incremental tax return policy for large enterprises, which has promoted the enthusiasm of enterprises and promoted the development of local economy.

Finally, we should reduce taxes and speed up the expansion of value-added tax. At present, there are more taxes in China, the proportion of indirect taxes is heavier, and the ratio of value-added tax is relatively high. It can reduce taxes and reduce VAT.
