Variety of tax experts questioned frequent adjustments more stressed the more important

Travel tax, customs duties, purchase tax ... ... a wide variety of taxes to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the people, and all taxes, "dazzling" in common - an upward trend, it is been a lot of criticism. "China is developing a new tobacco tax adjustment program, is expected to introduce next year. In order to further strengthen tobacco control efforts will certainly continue to increase the tobacco tax." Recently, the State Administration of Taxation, the Director of Consumer Goods and Secretary Hu Xianming of some remarks People set off again for the "tax burden is too heavy," the hot.

Is expected to introduce next year's tobacco tax adjustment programs, can be said that in May last year, the Ministry of Finance for the State Administration of Taxation issued "on the adjustment of consumption of tobacco products, tax policy," the strengthening.

"China's economic and tax policy on tobacco Seminar" was held recently in Beijing, experts said, China's tobacco tax reform is not complete, adjustment is not in place, advocates push tobacco "tax price linkage."

State Administration of Taxation Research Institute researcher Shi Jian pointed out that the transfer tax last year, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration requiring tobacco companies to maintain the stability of the wholesale prices, wholesale prices unchanged in the cases, the actual retail prices little changed. In other words, the tobacco tax increase is not reflected in the sales price of tobacco products, but are digested within the tobacco industry. Some analysts believe that radical reform is not to force the enhanced version of the introduction of policies.

For car owners, the recent news than the most stirring travel nerve tax and purchase tax changes. It is said that from January 1, 2011, the state will cancel the tax preferential policies for the purchase of existing vehicles, 1.6L and the following emission passenger vehicle purchase tax increase from the current 7.5% to 10%. In other words, when the purchase of passenger cars 1.6L and the following displacement and more consumers will spend thousands of dollars.

Reporter calculated an account, now a 10-million purchase of small cars, preferential purchase tax is about 6400 yuan, and wait until after January 1 next year, to pay taxes of about 8500 yuan. In addition, subsidies for low-emission vehicles to 3,000 yuan of preferential policies are about to expire, an extension is also not news.

Also, under consideration in the basic set of travel tax would raise the tone.

Speaking of the news on tax, but mention was also triggered by the star product iPad tariff dispute. August 1, 2010, China began full implementation of Customs "on the baggage carried by passengers entering the country clearance of the standard notice of the matter" (54 orders), to carry passengers beyond the provisions of the Immigration residents 5,000 yuan of personal Dell Latitude d420 Battery, the indeed own customs examination, the customs of the excess entry articles for personal use tax, individual items on the indivisible, the full tax.

In fact, more than 5,000 yuan on the value of personal items carried into the tax provisions related to already exist, the only reiterated Bale. According to report, in the past for "goods for personal use" because most of the customs clearance, but the sudden tightening of the spread of thorough investigation of the object to the brand-name clothes, bags, milk powder, and even a number of mainland tourists occupied the old phone, camera, computer the exit did not return, the return must show the source, or may be required to pay tax. Which is undoubtedly the most discussed iPad, although some models iPad priced at 5,000 yuan, but by the Chinese Customs computer products classified as category, the collection of 1,000 yuan in the fixed tax, taxes as high as 20% .

Perhaps the pressure of public opinion forced the outside world, China's General Administration of Customs announced November 30 the implementation of "General Administration of Customs decision on revising part of the regulations," the border area residents through the lives of the Trade in imported goods, the value per person per day in 8000 yuan The following are exempted from import duties and import taxes. But the fact remains unchanged iPad tax, this tax for the iPad whether the "war of words" continues.

In fact, the above-mentioned types of taxes are on the rise only sporadic in the little channel. And into the "second five", which has a variety of taxes to a new attitude toward rising channel. But whether it is the highly anticipated real estate tax reform, "no turning back" the resources tax reform, environmental protection, or will the new tax levy, will increase to some extent, while revenue increased tax burden on businesses and residents.

Who bears the burden of pain

Retail cigarette market: you have to buy again

A new round of tobacco tax increase has been the industry considered a virtual certainty, and the resulting impact is more likely to be a lot of speculation that the retail cigarette market concerns about the incessant price increases. However, insiders pointed out that the wholesale price of industrial companies by the National Tobacco Administration needs to develop arrangements, when the local tobacco companies will also develop a suggested retail price of major distributors, the current price is still too early words. Moreover, as long as there is market demand and moderate price adjustment on the retail end of the market should have little impact.

Many smokers find by visiting journalists, the retail prices of cigarettes will not change their buying desire. "Hard to quit smoking, how can I say no pumping is not pumping, as long as the modest, does not affect consumer demand." Has 10 years of age smoke TUNG told reporters.

Therefore, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Yang Zhiyong, deputy director of taxation Research last year, the purpose is to increase the transfer tax revenue, tobacco tax increase prices internalize the costs, profit margins narrowed, but did not change retail prices of tobacco. He admits, even after the tax increase on tobacco increase, it will only produce inhibition of tobacco consumption on the cheap effect, the existing conditions, the high-grade tobacco, "the more expensive, more people to buy."

Car market: small displacement to steal the spotlight

Eyes look car market, in the acquisition of tax and tax under the weight of travel, and subsidy policy, "catalyst" disappear, China's auto market do?

"From this Dell Inspiron 5000 Battery of view, preferential policies have been gradually withdrawing effect, the overall impact on the small car market." Xinhua letter auto industry analyst Xuehong Lang on "International Finance," a reporter pointed out that many policies are in response to the international financial out of the crisis, the purchase of tax incentives have been implemented for two years, but in fact the margin of preference is decreasing year by year.

As for the impact of travel tax on auto market, analysts told this reporter that, in the car while consumer costs, or to suppress some models, especially the large displacement car sales. Followed by a small displacement cars will be more favored, and even the future of China's auto sales or production structure will change.

"The future of various incentive policies should guide consumers to switch to energy-efficient small-displacement cars really." Xuehong Lang said.

Hong Kong Retail: Shopping, tourist injured

"Decree 54," one executive to combat the effects of water off an immediate, hard to maintain a number of professional purchasing and closing. Taobao Shopping Australia had done the Madeleine told reporters: "Shopping is hard to earn." According to reports, beginning in August of this year, "43 orders" shall be exempted from the provisions of the amount of personal items mailed to 50 million, which previously items sent from or sent to the duty-free Hong Kong and Macao amounted to 400, sent from or sent to other countries and regions amounted to 500 tax-free.

The same was also injured in the Hong Kong tourism industry. Industry concerns, "Decree 54" mainland tourists to Hong Kong will affect the consumer's intention to drag on tourism, catering, clothing, cosmetics, electronic products and other related industries. Prior to the Hong Kong Tourism Board Chairman James Tien also said in an interview, in accordance with the "54 orders" of the regulations, a great impact on Hong Kong tourism industry.

In fact, this concern is not redundant. December is the regular annual Christmas discount season, in previous years, there were many mainland residents to Hong Kong to scan cargo. However, this year in the "54 orders" under the shadow, according to media reports, there are many travel agencies staff, said in December this year, the discount season, Hong Kong and Macao tourists and even the line even less than in previous years, of which there are many tourists learn the Customs for advice tax inspection strict circumstances cancel the trip.

Tax reform for the purpose of the tax crisis by reducing the burden of negative

China's tax adjustment, although there are many areas out of economic restructuring and social justice considerations, but there are many tax adjustment is to better protect against inflation.

In general economic theory, the severity of the tax burden is considered to regulate the national economy "lever", the relationship between social resources and overall wealth and income between the state and the distribution pattern of the taxpayer, or even affect the overall operation of the economy. Therefore, it is not hard to understand why consumers and experts would be so concerned about the various tax measures this year, and rumors.

China is now the tax burden in the end Gaobu Gao? Example of a side can allow people to "know little about." A magazine published abroad in 2009 Tax Misery Index ranking shows that their method of calculation, the Chinese tax misery index for the 159, in 65 countries and territories, ranked second only to a European country, and although the country tax burden is very heavy, but very well-developed social welfare. However, this method was subsequently denied by the officials in China.

"Tax Regardless of high or low. But behind the reflected field of two trends in the tax burden." Professor of Renmin University of China, Niu Haipeng on "International Finance," told reporters, "First of all, that is related fields tax burden has been increasing, as the Dell Latitude d400 Battery of resource tax rumors. Secondly, the phasing out of all kinds of irrational taxes, such as the recent abolition of car purchase tax concessions. "

Niu Haipeng further analysis, more interesting is support from the relevant tax adjustments of reasons. One reason is the country's economic restructuring and transformation of economic development. For example, resource tax adjustment from the tax levy rumor to travel, to cancel the car purchase tax, are more or less reflects the idea of energy conservation, "and then in turn for our energy saving 'low-carbon-style' economic development model for the contribution. "

"Another reason is that the tax burden of adjustment will make the society more fair and just." Niu Haipeng said, "for example, car purchase tax in the eyes of the market, this is not entirely fair and objective of the tax and therefore would be better to cancel regulation of social resources. Moreover, if a tax threshold of the increase, the same will ease the social controversies and contradictions. "

In fact, this year, the reform on income distribution and then focus on the topic has been the focus of society, of which a tax threshold of the increase is considered to be one of the measures to narrow the income gap, but the delay in the relevant departments move to reform.

In the analysis view, the tax burden and a major reason to adjust the relevant departments need to increase income tax policy changes to better cope with the negative impact of financial crisis. Some scholars had previously written that focus on the tax revenue the government can not meet the rapidly growing demand for public spending, "it is necessary and reasonable increase with economic growth and gradually the proportion of GDP, tax revenue." Data show that, in 2009, for example, China's tax revenue accounted for 17.7% of GDP, accounting for 51% of government revenue. But there are also views that the central government tax revenue should not further expand the scale should be allowed to help people.

Value index of Chinese Cui Xinsheng, chief researcher, pointed out the many areas of China in the tax adjustment, although there out of economic restructuring and social justice considerations, but there are many tax adjustment is to better protect against inflation, such as this also the implementation of preferential car purchase tax initiatives, the proposal raised a tax threshold, are considered for the expansion of domestic consumption. Temporarily blocked the stimulation of investment, only to stimulate domestic consumption in order to hand over money made to solve the problem, on the one hand to solve social conflicts.

Cui Xinsheng said: "'iPad incident', and perhaps also to inhibit the demand for the purchase of foreign products in order to achieve the purpose of expanding domestic consumption."

The direction of a comprehensive tax reform based measure of people's livelihood

All consider the people's livelihood, may not be reasonable; but does not consider the people's livelihood, but also not convincing. The classification of the current tax system should transition to a combination of comprehensive and classified tax system. Low-end personal income tax reform by reducing the tax burden, while strengthening the collection of high-end adjustment.

The idea that "the government had the tax is an important national source of income was to blame. But the heavy taxes the tax concept of destruction and deformity of the entire social harmony. Therefore, the tax adjustment should to the people and a lot of people listen to the views" . This fact points out from the side of the Dell Inspiron 1200 Battery of tax adjustments need to pay attention - to consider people's livelihood.

"Objectively speaking, all consider the people's livelihood, may not be reasonable; but do not take into account people's livelihood and can not be convincing. So, this requires trade-offs from the relevant departments." In this regard, professor of Renmin University of China, Niu Haipeng said, "particularly consumer are highly controversial tax reform, the relevant departments need to communicate in a timely manner, for an explanation. at least let consumers right to know. "

But the current situation, to reduce the tax burden on lower-middle class is still the printing of an important voice.

In this regard, China Jia Kang, director of the Institute of Fiscal Science, believes that the current classification of the tax system should be integrated with the classification of the transition to a combination of the tax system. Low-end personal income tax reform by reducing the tax burden, while strengthening the collection of high-end adjustment.

"Of course, it should be noted that the related tax adjustment can not be tilted to one side caused the situation." Niu Haipeng, said, "In addition, adjustment, also need to coordinate relevant departments to avoid the 'fight' situation. "

It should be noted that the distribution of income has been reported as the topic said, "At present, the existence of distribution of national income tilt to the trend of government and business." Data show that the United States, for example, U.S. residents share in the income distribution than China, 15.9%, while the allocation of government and business share of 11.1%, respectively, lower than China and 5.4%. Therefore, the "Chinese residents in the low share of national income, has seriously hampered the improvement of the level of consumption."

The voice of business the same can not be ignored. "For Chinese enterprises, relevant departments may establish evaluation mechanisms to analyze and measure the cost." Experts, "so that companies can advance warning. Of course, the tax burden of adjustment will also accelerate business transformation and upgrading."

"People's Daily," the author believes that the promotion of tax reform should be fully measured, considered, in order not to increase or further reduce the overall tax burden on businesses and residents as a precondition. The article said that "some taxes have to do 'addition', there are some taxes relevant to do 'subtraction'. For example, the personal income tax reform is the 'second five', the highlight of tax reform is related to the vital interests of the masses, the community 'tax' voice is also high. how to build an integrated and classification of a combination of personal income tax system, increase the regulation of high-income and further reduce the tax burden low-income persons, there are many articles in this area can be do. Also, the current tax system, business services heavy tax burden, many are repeat business tax levied. how to solve the goods and services from the Dell Inspiron 1100 Battery is not unified tax policy issues, the gradual elimination of double taxation, promote the services sector development, but also the next step should be the focus of tax reform to resolve the problem.
