State Administration of Taxation: It is expected to reduce the tax burden for business entities by more than 1.8 trillion yuan throughout the year

China News Network, 4 April -- The Information Office of the State Council held a press conference on 6 April to introduce the relevant situation of "giving better play to the role of taxation functions and better serving the high-quality development of the economy and society." At the meeting, Wang Daoshu, deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation, said that since the beginning of the year, the finance and taxation departments have successively issued two batches of preferential tax policies for the continuation and optimization of implementation, and it is expected that the new tax reduction and fee reduction will be 6.1 trillion yuan throughout the year, plus the continued implementation of the tax refund policy, which is expected to reduce the tax burden for business entities by more than 2.1 trillion yuan throughout the year.

At the meeting, a reporter asked: This year's active fiscal policy should be strengthened to improve efficiency, can you introduce the preferential tax policies that have been introduced this year and what measures are worth looking forward to in the future?

Wang Daoshu introduced that the preferential tax policy is an important part of the active fiscal policy. Since the beginning of the year, the finance and taxation departments have successively issued two batches of preferential tax policies for the continuation and optimization of implementation, which are expected to add 1.2 trillion yuan of new tax cuts and fee reductions throughout the year, and together with the continued implementation of the tax refund policy, it is expected that the tax burden can be reduced by more than 1.8 trillion yuan for business entities throughout the year.

In general, these tax incentives have three characteristics:

The first is to highlight continuity, the continuation of that continuity. For example, continue to implement a number of policies with good implementation results and high social expectations, such as halving the land used for bulk commodity storage of logistics enterprises, collecting urban land use tax, and reducing employment security funds for the disabled, so as to stabilize social expectations in a timely manner.

The second is to highlight the accuracy, the optimization of the optimization. For example, optimize the implementation of a number of policies to support the relief and development of small and micro business entities, such as the reduction of value-added tax for small-scale taxpayers, the reduction of income tax for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial enterprises, and highlight the support for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial enterprises.

The third is to highlight the institutional, innovative innovation. The super-deduction rate for enterprise R&D expenses will be uniformly increased from 75% to 100%, and it will be implemented as an institutional arrangement for a long time to further create a good tax environment that encourages enterprises' investment in innovation. At the same time, the orderly withdrawal of some temporary arrangements and policies that have achieved the expected results after expiration not only promotes the standardization of the tax policy system, but also strengthens the tax system that is conducive to fair competition.

Wang Daoshu stressed that in the future, we will do good things well in four aspects: First, strengthen the implementation. April is the big levy period for enterprises to declare and pay taxes, and we are seizing this important window period to successively launch a series of new service measures, further strengthen the precise push of policies, further refine the caliber of policy implementation, further optimize the tax operation function, and ensure that taxpayers know the policy, understand the operation and can enjoy it.

The second is to follow up and evaluate well. We have taken the implementation of preferential tax policies as the key content of Daxing's investigation and research, focused on the evaluation and analysis of policy effects, and done a good job in pushing tax policy dividend bills to promote more powerful and more sensitive implementation effects.

The third is continuous optimization. We are carrying out the "go through the process and listen to suggestions" activity, smooth the rapid response mechanism to problems, take timely measures to solve the blocking and difficult problems in the implementation of tax policies, and promote the direct enjoyment of tax policy dividends.

Fourth, good research reserves. We will pay close attention to changes in economic operation with relevant departments, accelerate the construction of a manufacturing power around services, accelerate the implementation of innovation-driven development strategies, etc., strengthen the research reserve of tax and fee policies, enrich the policy toolbox, and better promote high-quality economic development.
