  How to get the tax refund red envelope directly to the enterprise?

  Under the influence of the impact of the epidemic and the increasing downward pressure on the economy, the tax rebate red envelope is a "life-saving money" for many small and medium-sized enterprises. How to ensure that this "life-saving money" goes directly to the enterprise?

Where does the money come from?

  According to the deployment,

on the basis of paying 50% of the tax rebate funds according to the current tax system, the central government will set up three special projects by arranging 1.2 trillion yuan of transfer payment funds to

support the grassroots implementation of tax rebates, tax reductions and fee reductions, as well as ensuring employment and basic livelihood.

Among them, for the local burden part of the newly added tax rebates, the central government subsidy exceeds 82% on average, and it is inclined to the central and western regions.

  Xu Hongcai, vice minister of the Ministry of Finance, said that special funds such as tax rebates are included in the direct mechanism to ensure that the tax rebate funds can quickly reach the grassroots level of cities and counties and play a role as soon as possible.

The finance and taxation departments at all levels shall do a good job in the protection of tax refund funds and the specific refund of tax refunds, strengthen work coordination and information sharing, and form a joint force to ensure that tax refund funds are refunded to enterprises in full and in a timely manner.

It is the tax department to issue the invoice and the financial department to give the money. It is very important for the two to cooperate.

  Zhang Lianqi believes that it is necessary to prevent some illegal acts and tax refund frauds in the process of tax refund.

The central transfer payment is a direct mechanism, and it must be implemented to market entities according to the time node, so that they can be pocketed as soon as possible to ensure that market entities "enjoy what they deserve".
