Foreign Media: camp increased Chinese Government modified taxes by 500 billion yuan | | tax increases _ modified camp news

Original title: foreign media on China's tax system reform: "camp to increase" is the right thing

Reference news network on May 7, British media reports said China's full implementation of the policy of expanding the scope of VAT, completed 20 years one of the largest and longest tax reform. This reform has a close relationship with both political and economic.

United Kingdom May 6 issue of the Economist magazine's website claims, starting from May 1, the Chinese Government will impose value-added tax ranges from mainly selling goods industry expanded to all major service industries, including construction and finance. It replaces the income tax. Under the VAT system, companies can deduct many input costs, thereby reducing the tax.

Said, a move that could make the Government's tax revenues this year by as much as 500 billion yuan. Some analysts think this is in response to the slowdown in fiscal stimulus, which will allow enterprises to have more money to invest.

Long term, tax reform is the right thing for the economy. According to the Ernst and young accounting firm said, China is adding more than more than 140 countries and regions the implementation of VAT included. Since 1994, China's manufacturing enterprises VAT, equivalent to endorsed this tax on enterprises a more reasonable way. But the service sector is excluded, such enterprises are facing unfair competition. Rely on the industry's economic growth now lost momentum, the share of services in GDP exceeded that of the manufacturing industry. A more rational tax system is long overdue.

Article said that tax reform long overdue to blame for political reasons. Reform exposed the rift between the Central and local governments, this rift is the core of China's financial system problems. In the early 1990 of the 20th century, the policies of a growing number of government revenue is in the hands of the Central Government, and local governments to pay the vast majority of spending, ranging from medical to infrastructure spending. In order to make up for the shortfall, local governments rely heavily on revenue from land sales, this is a factor that recently opened.

Said service provides local governments with a valuable and reliable source of income. Through the service tax, all taxes local governments can be bagged. Local governments worry that once the "camp to increase" is like the productive added value tax, local governments would get only a 25% tax, the rest to be turned over to the Central Government. Therefore, they resisted the reforms and delaying time to implement the new policy.

Opposition from local governments seem to be having some effect. After the introduction of the new tax system, local governments would get half the tax rather than 25%. In addition, the Treasury pledged through transfer payments to ensure that local governments are not reduced because of the new tax revenue.

外媒：营改增使中国政府税收减少5000亿元|营改增|税收_新闻资讯

　　原标题：外媒谈中国税制改革：“营改增”是正确之举

　　参考消息网5月7日报道英媒称，中国全面实施扩大增值税征收范围的政策，完成了20年来规模最大、最漫长的一次税制改革。这次改革与政治和经济都有着密切的关系。

　　英国《经济学人》周刊网站5月6日刊文称，从5月1日开始，中国政府将征收增值税的范围从主要是销售商品的行业扩大到所有重要的服务行业，其中包括建筑业和金融业。它替代了基于总收入的营业税。根据增值税制度，企业可以扣除许多投入成本，从而减少缴税。

　　文章称，此举今年可能会让政府的税收收入减少多达5000亿元人民币。一些分析人士认为这是为了应对经济增速放慢的财政刺激手段，因为这会让企业有更多资金用于投资。

　　长远来讲，税收改革对经济而言是正确的做法。据安永会计师事务所说，中国正在加入140多个实行增值税制的国家和地区之列。中国从1994年开始对制造业企业实行增值税，相当于认可了这种对企业更合理征税的方式。但是服务行业基本被排除在外，让这类企业面临不合理的竞争环境。依赖工业的经济增长模式现在失去了动力，服务业在国内生产总值所占的比重已超过了制造业。早就应该实行更加合理的税制。

　　文章称，税制改革姗姗来迟的原因应归咎于政治。改革暴露了中央和地方政府之间的裂痕，这样的裂痕是中国财政制度的核心问题。自20世纪90年代初以来，政府出台的政策让越来越多的财政收入掌握在中央政府手中，而地方政府则要负担绝大多数支出，包括从医疗到基础设施方面的开支。为了弥补亏空，地方政府严重依赖卖地收入，这是导致近年来各地大兴土木的一个因素。

　　文章称，服务业为地方政府提供了一个宝贵而又可靠的收入来源。通过对服务业征收营业税，地方政府可以将这部分税款全部收入囊中。地方政府担心，一旦“营改增”，就会像生产型增值税那样，地方政府只能拿到25%的税收，其余要上交中央。因此，它们抵制这项改革，并拖延新政策落实的时间。

　　地方政府的反对似乎收到了一些实效。在实行新税制后，地方政府会获得税收的一半而不是25%。此外，财政部承诺会通过转移支付来确保地方政府不会因为新的税制而减少收入。
