Taxation is the “barometer” of economic performance.
The National Tax Work Conference was held in Beijing on the 8th. In the final year of the 13th Five-Year Plan, what kind of tax “transcript” will the state deliver? How to ensure that the real economy “really” benefits from the rise and fall? What new benefits will tax work bring to the new beginning of the “14th Five-Year Plan”?
The annual tax reduction direct to the company and the reduction of fees exceeded 2.5 trillion yuan
The annual reduction of taxes and fees exceeded 2.5 trillion yuan, and the deferred tax payment of 29.2 billion yuan was processed for 3.99 million taxpayers. The meeting “exposed” the 2020 tax and fee reduction “transcript”.
In an extremely extraordinary year of 2020, the sudden new corona pneumonia epidemic superimposed on the global economic downturn, and complex and harsh domestic and foreign environments have brought unprecedented challenges to the real economy.
Wang Jun, director of the State Administration of Taxation, said that in 2020, tax departments at all levels will focus on “implementing preferential policies, ‘contactless’ tax handling, general data service and prevention and control of the epidemic “. The “Four Forces” call for fighting the epidemic to promote development and ensure that policy dividends go directly to market entities.
Also, the first tax calculation went smoothly. Developed and applied the personal tax mobile app, launched the return form data pre-filling service, and actively promoted the implementation of the policy of exempting some low and middle income workers from accounting obligations, ensuring the successful completion of the three-step reform of personal tax in steady progress and effectively promoting consumption. Increase and adjust income distribution.
Statistics show that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the country’s new tax and tariff cuts totaled more than 7.6 trillion yuan; 57.45 million new tax-related market entities were established, an 83% increase over the 12th Five-Year Plan period. At the same time, the budget revenue task has been completed in successive years, and the accumulated tax revenue (excluding export tax refunds) has been 65.7 trillion yuan, providing a strong financial guarantee for development. economic and social.

Release water to raise fish, complete income “grand test” according to laws and regulations
Taxation is the basic source and important guarantee of national tax revenue and the main means for the government to implement economic and social policies.
Under downward pressure from the economy, there will be substantial tax and fee cuts. Can the annual taxation task be completed on time?
The reporter learned from the meeting that in 2020, tax departments at all levels have withstood the unprecedented “big test”, the tax revenue budget task was successfully completed, and the annual tax revenue (excluding tax returns) export taxes) were 13.68 trillion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%. The target of the fiscal budget arrangement is 0.8% higher, the timely and accurate handling of export tax refunds of 1.45 billion yuan, the organization of social insurance premium income of 3.81 billion yuan and non-tax revenue of 631.6 billion yuan, providing a strong guarantee for the fight against the epidemic and economic and social development.
Wang Jun said that in the new year, it is necessary to steadily and steadily complete the revenue tasks determined by the budget, and promote high-quality and quantitative increase in tax revenue. Properly manage the relationship between reduction and collection, quality and quantity, order and size, and near and far. We must not only collect what must be collected according to laws and regulations, but also stay firmly on the bottom of not charging “excessive taxes.”
Convenient for people, “contactless” tax handling becomes the norm
In the situation of the epidemic, how to make it easier for people to handle taxes and fees?
In 2020, the country will vigorously promote the payment of taxes in person “without contact”. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the State Tax Administration quickly published a list of “contactless” online tax and fee payments, ranking nearly 200 tax and fee issues that can be handled online.
“At present, 90% of tax-related matters and 99% of tax filing business can be handled online, online or by hand,” said Wang Jun.
Not only that, during the period of the “13th Five-Year Plan”, the national tax system continued to apply the “Spring Breeze Action for the convenience of private taxation.” The State Tax Administration integrated 279 service measures into 108 articles and jointly implemented 16 reform measures to facilitate payment of taxes with 12 departments.
Wang Jun said that in 2021, the tax department will effectively strengthen the precise law enforcement and improve the uniformity of tax law enforcement. “To prevent and decisively correct the application of the random, extensive, selective and unique law, and to promote the system of lists of ‘first violation without penalty'”.
In addition, it is necessary to continue deepening the reform of tax payment facilitation, promote the intelligent upgrade of tax and fee services, and innovate personalized measures for tax and fee services to better stimulate the vitality of market entities and the endogenous driving force of development.
Open a new office to promote high-quality tax modernization.
In the modernization process, tax modernization is the proper meaning of the issue. Given that the “XIV Five-Year Plan” is a new beginning, how can tax reform help build a new development pattern and promote high-quality tax modernization?
During the period of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, the tax authorities have constantly promoted the construction and application of tax big data, especially since the outbreak of the epidemic, using big data as invoices of value added tax to actively carry out business resumption, production and analysis of economic operations and sales. Not long ago, the special electronic VAT ticket was officially launched, further reducing the tax burden on taxpayers.
Wang Jun said that in 2021, the reform of electronic invoices should be implemented steadily and substantial measures have been taken to promote computerization. The nationwide unified electronic invoice service platform was built and launched, and the scope of the reform experiment gradually and steadily expanded. Take full advantage of tax big data, such as value-added tax invoices, and further enhance the capacity of data services for the overall situation.
In addition, it is necessary to promote the formation of a multiparty coordinated tax governance pattern at a higher level and a broader scope. Strengthen social coordination to promote electronic invoice reform, crack down on “fake companies”, “fake exports” and illegal activities related to “false declaration” taxes, and promote the expansion of data exchange related to taxes with more departments.
Wang Jun said that in 2021, we will continue to deepen international tax cooperation and exchanges, help relevant countries to host the second “Belt and Road” tax collection and management cooperation forum, and actively cooperate with the promotion of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and the relevant rules of the China-EU Investment Agreement. The convergence and implementation of tax treaties, and the review and negotiation of tax treaties.
