China News Agency, Beijing, April 20 (Reporter Zhao Jianhua) From January to March, China's national general public budget revenue was 4,594.8 billion yuan, down 14.3% year-on-year (the same below). Among them, the national tax revenue was 392.9 billion yuan, a decrease of 16.4%; non-tax revenue was 695.5 billion yuan, an increase of 0.1%.
At the press conference held by the Ministry of Finance on 20th in the form of online video, Liu Jinyun, director of the Treasury Payment Center of the Ministry of Finance, released the above statistics.
He said that the decline in national fiscal revenue was affected by multiple factors. Affected by the new Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the tax base has been reduced, and measures such as tax reductions, tax exemptions, and tax reductions have been taken to support the epidemic prevention and control of supply, corporate bailouts, and recovery and resumption of production. As a result, the value-added tax reduction effect continued to be released, which lowered the national fiscal revenue growth rate by about 5 percentage points; the tax revenue that was deferred from the end of last year to the beginning of the year has decreased year-on-year.
Liu Jinyun said that industries affected by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic had a larger drop in tax revenue. Since most taxes are declared and paid according to last month ’s situation, the impact of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic on fiscal revenue has been evident since February and expanded in March. National fiscal revenue for each month from January to March decreased by 3.9%, 21.4%, and 26.1% respectively . In view of different industries, in the first quarter, taxes on accommodation, catering, transportation, culture, sports and entertainment fell by 33.2%, 27% and 19.6% respectively.
In the first quarter, the local income decline was 4.2 percentage points lower than that of the central government. Liu Jinyun said that it is mainly due to the multi-channel revitalization of state-owned resource assets in some regions and the increase of non-tax revenue. In the first quarter, local non-tax revenue increased by 3.1%. Among them, income from paid use of state-owned resources (assets) and operating income from state-owned capital increased by 14.5% and 1.1 times, respectively, which together increased local non-tax revenue by 6.5 percentage points. At the same time, the burden of enterprises continued to be reduced, the fees charged by enterprises continued to decline, special income including education surcharges decreased by 5.7%, and administrative fees decreased by 11.5%.
Liu Jinyun pointed out that looking forward to the second quarter, affected by the development of the new domestic and international new pneumonia epidemic situation, fiscal revenue is still declining. However, as the production and living order in China accelerates, the resumption of production and production is gradually approaching or reaching normal levels, and the decline in fiscal revenue will gradually narrow.
The Ministry of Finance also announced that, from January to March, the national general public budget expenditure was 5.5284 trillion yuan, down 5.7%.
From January to March, the national government fund budget revenue was 1,257.7 billion yuan, down 12%. Among them, the revenue of local government fund budgets at this level was 1,188.1 billion yuan, a decrease of 10.7%, and the revenue from the transfer of state-owned land use rights was 11,117 billion yuan, a decrease of 7.9%.
