Everyone will benefit from this year’s tax reform.
Xiao Jie said that everyone will benefit from this year’s personal income tax reform.
Shi Yaobin said that this personal income tax reform willAccording to the change of residents’ basic living consumption level.And put forward a proposal to raise the threshold;Special deduction has been added.First of all, the focus of choice is on children’s education, serious illness medical care and other people’s most urgent needs and concerns; Reform and improve the mode of individual income tax collection,Transforming the classified tax system into a personal income tax system that combines comprehensiveness and classification.. For example, the labor income such as wages and salaries, labor remuneration, royalties, etc. are combined as comprehensive income, and then a basic deduction fee is determined, which is called the threshold, and then taxation is carried out.
These people may enjoy real estate tax relief.
When talking about the collection of real estate tax, Shi Yaobin said that real estate tax is a tax system or a tax generally adopted by most countries, which can be roughly summarized into these four or four common institutional arrangements.
First, all industrial and commercial housing and individual housing will be taxed according to its evaluation value, that is, according to the evaluation value.
Second, there are some tax preferences in the real estate tax system of all countries. For example, certain deduction standards can be made, or some difficult families, low-income families and special difficult groups can be given certain tax relief. Of course, the specific methods are different and the level is different, but there are some tax incentives.
Third, this tax is a local tax, and its income belongs to the local government. Local governments use these revenues to meet some expenses such as education, public security and other public infrastructure provision.
Fourth, because the tax base of real estate tax is complicated or very complicated, it is necessary to establish a complete tax collection and management model, so that real estate tax can be collected and collected fairly.
When talking about China, Shi Yaobin said that our general idea is to legislate first, fully authorize and advance step by step.At present, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Budget Working Committee, Ministry of Finance and other relevant parties are working hard to draft and improve the draft law on real estate tax.China is designing a reasonable real estate tax system by absorbing the experience of other countries and combining the national conditions of China. take for exampleMerge and integrate some related taxes, and reasonably reduce some tax burdens of real estate in construction transactions.And so on, so that the real estate tax system in China can be more reasonable and fair.
In 2017, 730 million poverty alleviation funds were recovered for false reporting, fraudulent use and misappropriation.
Hu Jinglin said that in 2017, the Ministry of Finance organized a special inspection of the financial special poverty alleviation funds of 874 counties in 28 provinces.Recovered 730 million yuan of funds falsely claimed and misappropriated, held 450 people accountable, and exposed 15 typical cases.. Next, we will further improve the system, plug the loopholes in the system and management, and continue to intensify investigation and punishment, with special funds for poverty alleviation as the focus of inspection. For violations of discipline and discipline, find together, investigate together, accountability together, and exposure together.
Promoting Rural Revitalization Strategy to Make Farmers an Attractive Occupation
Hu Jinglin said,Rural revitalization can not be separated from the investment of real money.The Ministry of Finance will raise funds through multiple channels to guide more funds to invest in rural areas through cross-regional transactions of land saving indicators, so that more people in rural areas can share the fruits of urban development; Significantly increase the scale of poverty alleviation funds to support poverty-stricken areas to get rid of poverty; Increase investment in education, health, medical care and social security in rural areas, so as to improve the level of public services enjoyed by farmers; Strengthen the supervision of funds and resolutely guard against "fly-like" corruption that occurs around the masses; Fully implement the performance management of funds for supporting agriculture, so that the people can know how to use the funds and the effect of their use.
Han Changfu said,The Ministry of Agriculture launched a survey of "100 rural households"120 cadres were sent to 30 provinces, cities and 60 villages for a month-long resident survey, which is to conduct a panoramic survey of the actual situation of rural grassroots, especially rural areas, including the political, economic, cultural, ecological, social and grassroots organization construction in rural areas, so as to provide first-hand materials for the implementation organization of rural revitalization strategy. In the future, we should make agriculture a promising industry, make farmers an attractive profession and make the countryside a beautiful homeland where people can live and work in peace and contentment. Rural people can not only enjoy the same public facilities and services as urban people, but also have beautiful environment and rural scenery. The countryside will become a scarce resource in the future and will become a place that people in the city yearn for.
As a matter of policy, city dwellers are not allowed to buy homesteads and build houses in rural areas.
Han Changfu said,It is not allowed for city people to buy homesteads and build houses in rural areas.. Because the homestead belongs to the rural collective, only having the membership of the rural collective economic organization can obtain the right to use the homestead of the collective economic organization according to the law, which is a unique right of the members of the collective economic organization, and in principle, it is a house for one household.
China’s rural contracted land has realized the separation of three powers, that is, the separation of ownership, contracting right and management right, which can also be used for reference to the use of homestead and idle houses. On the basis of insisting that the ownership of homestead belongs to farmers’ collectives and the qualification belongs to members of collective economic organizations, the right to use homestead is moderately released. Through various ways, idle farmhouses can be better utilized. For example, providing entrepreneurial places, some places develop rural tourism farmhouses. In recent years, the central government has deployed pilot projects in 33 counties (cities, districts) and accumulated some experience, which will be gradually copied and promoted on the basis of summary.
