A series of measures have produced huge policy dividends.

Stable expectations promote development

The continuous advancement of optimizing the business environment and co-promoting economic development with fiscal, monetary and other macro policies is a significant sign of the substantial increase in the number of market entities.

Statistics show that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country focused on optimizing the business environment, promoting reforms such as decentralization, tax reduction and fee reduction, and the commercial system, which stimulated the vitality of various market entities, with an average annual net increase of 12.477 million market entities. In the World Bank’s international business environment ranking, it rose from 84 to 31.

Clarified measures such as continuing to improve the convenience of investment and construction; in December, the "Market Access Negative List (2020 Edition)" was released. The list included 123 items, which was 8 less than the 2019 list.

　　At present, various types of administrative approvals have been significantly reduced, and the investment projects of enterprises approved by the central level have been reduced by 90%, and the approval of non-administrative licenses has withdrawn from the historical stage; deepening the reform of the commercial system, fully achieving the goal of the whole process of enterprise opening, and reducing the start time to 4 Within days.

The tax business environment has been continuously improved.

At present, 90% of tax-related matters and 99% of tax declaration business can be done online, online, or on the palm.

　　Li Xuhong, a professor at the Beijing National Accounting Institute, believes that a series of measures such as commercial registration and taxation services have strongly promoted the establishment and growth of market entities, and injected new momentum into my country's high-quality economic development.

Since last year, villagers have opened online shops one after another, and they have been very busy.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, local "non-contact" export tax refunds have been processed faster, and the average time limit has been shortened by 40%. A total of 23 million yuan has been processed for export tax refunds for bee products companies.

At the same time, the goal of 1.5 trillion yuan in profits from the financial system to the real economy will be achieved.

In the resilient China's economic environment, the main body of the tax-related market is full of vitality, showing the characteristics of many new establishments, excellent structure and strong strength.

　　The private economy, dominated by small, medium and micro enterprises, has become the "main force" of market entities.

Statistics show that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, 56 million private tax-related market entities were newly established, accounting for more than 90%, and the proportion is increasing year by year.
