国务委员兼财政部长王丙乾最近多次强调以法治税。他说,税收是国家干预经济、驾驭和调控商品市场不可缺少的主要经济杠杆之一。我国财政收入90％以上靠税收,调整产业结构、控制基建规模、抑制消费需求、调节社会分配公平等都需发挥税收作用。但是,目前税收工作尚未得到整个社会的广泛支持和理解,依法纳税还未成为人们的自觉行动。这几年税收秩序混乱,偷税漏税普遍,越权减免税严重,暴力抗税事件时有发生。这些现象,不仅大量减少了国家财政收入,而且削弱了税收的宏观调控作用,干扰了改革和建设事业的顺利进行。王部长强调,依法纳税是每个公民的应尽义务,任何单位、任何个人都有责任按照税法交纳税款,支持税收工作,维持税收秩序。今年要进一步清理整顿减免税,加强税收管理,税收的减免权主要集中在中央,不能分散,各地、各部门不能越权减免税收,下半年适当时候还要继续开展税收、财务、物价大检查。 Wang Bingqian, State Councilor and Finance Minister, has emphasized on several occasions the taxation by law. He said that taxation is one of the major economic levers indispensable to the state in intervening in economy, controlling and regulating commodity markets. Over 90% of China’s fiscal revenue needs taxation by adjusting the industrial structure, controlling the scale of infrastructure, curbing consumer demand and regulating the fairness of social distribution. However, at present the tax work has not been widely supported and understood by the whole society. Paying taxes according to the law has not become the conscious action of people. In recent years, the tax order was chaotic, tax evasion was widespread, tax deductions and exemptions were heavy, and violent anti-tax incidents occurred from time to time. These phenomena have not only drastically reduced the state revenue, but also weakened the macro-control of tax revenue and disrupted the smooth progress of the reform and construction. Minister Wang emphasized that it is the duty of every citizen to pay taxes in accordance with the law. Any unit or individual has the responsibility to pay taxes in accordance with the tax laws, support the tax work and maintain the tax order. This year we must further clean up and reduce taxes and reduce taxes and strengthen tax administration. Tax relief is mainly concentrated in the central government and can not be dispersed. All localities and departments should not reduce or reduce their tax revenues. In the second half of the year, they should continue to conduct tax inspections, financial inspections and price inspections.
