Implement the established tax and fee reduction policies
——Implement tax reduction and exemption policies. The implementation period of the VAT reduction and exemption policies for small-scale taxpayers and exemption from public transportation, catering and accommodation, tourism and entertainment, culture and sports and other services will be extended to the end of this year. Allow small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households to postpone their income tax payment until next year.

——Reduce the average tariff of enterprise broadband and dedicated line. Mainly for enterprises to implement Internet access broadband and dedicated line fee reduction, and focus on small and medium-sized enterprises and manufacturing industries, and achieve a 15% reduction in average corporate broadband and dedicated line tariffs overall.
—— Resolutely rectify the illegal charges of enterprises. Improve the charging supervision system, and establish an evaluation mechanism for the effectiveness of the management of illegally-related enterprises' charging. Resolutely prevent illegal collection of taxes and fees, focus on investigating "excessive taxes and fees" and other issues, and seriously hold accountable. Deploy a nationwide special management of enterprise-related charges, strictly investigate various behaviors involving enterprises' indiscriminate charges, establish and improve mechanisms for complaints, reports, and punishment of charges indiscriminately, and intensify rectification.
Strengthen financial support for the real economy
—— Smooth financial and real economy transmission channels. Continue to unblock the monetary policy transmission mechanism, flexibly use monetary policy tools such as RRR cuts, open market operations, re-lending and rediscounting, and maintain reasonable and sufficient liquidity. We will do a good job of linking up the policies of 300 billion yuan in anti-epidemic special re-loans, 500 billion yuan in re-loans and rediscount funds, and the newly added 1 trillion yuan inclusive re-loans and rediscount lines. Strengthen supervision to prevent "idling" arbitrage of funds.
—— Give full play to the role of government financing guarantees. Promote the national financing guarantee fund and banking financial institutions to carry out batch guarantee loan cooperation, and achieve the goal of 400 billion yuan in new re-guarantee business scale by 2020. Government financing guarantee institutions will halve the collection of financing guarantee and re-guarantee fees for small and micro enterprises in 2020, gradually reduce the comprehensive financing guarantee fee rate to below 1%, and establish a guarantee fee subsidy mechanism where conditions permit. Support the national agricultural credit guarantee system to reduce the guarantee rate, and ensure that the guarantee rate of policy-based agricultural collateral business does not exceed 0.8%, and the policy-based poverty alleviation project does not exceed 0.5%. Further increase the proportion of small-scale agricultural support businesses.
-Pay attention to the role of directional tools. Extend the deferred principal and interest payment policy for small and micro enterprise loans until the end of March next year. Loans to inclusive small and micro enterprises should be extended as long as possible, and loans to other enterprises in difficulty should be extended through negotiation.

Guide financial institutions to increase medium and long-term financing for manufacturing, private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, and increase credit support for foreign-oriented enterprises, service enterprises and labor-intensive industries.
