How to reduce the tax? Who can enjoy the real estate tax reduction? The latest authoritative voice is here.

 

  Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu answered a reporter’s question. CCTV reporters He Chuan and Gao Yuting took photos.

  CCTV News:On the morning of March 7, the first session of the 13th National People’s Congress held two press conferences in the Media Center.

  At 8: 50, Xiao Jie, Minister of Finance, Shi Yaobin and Hu Jinglin, Vice Ministers, answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on "fiscal and tax reform and financial work".

  At 10: 30, Han Changfu, Minister of Agriculture, and Pan Xianzheng, spokesperson and director of the general office of the Ministry of Agriculture, answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on issues related to "implementing the rural revitalization strategy to promote agricultural transformation and upgrading".

  The questions in the two press conferences involved many issues closely related to people’s lives, involving the vital interests of almost everyone.

  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.

Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Xiacheng Leopard -5

Before the launch of Equation Leopard -5, I saw that many media blew it into a god. Every second, every second, the universe, everything, big G and tanks have to stand aside. But after watching the technical conference, I felt that it was nothing. I took some nondescript off-road kits and started to blow the technology.


However, since it can be so hot, there must be something to watch. Today, let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this car.

Let’s talk about advantages first:

One. It looks good. Compared with most cities, the design of this car is still relatively hard-core, but if you look closely, it gives people a feeling of "femininity". Everyone has an eye for this thing, and it is not bad to see the general evaluation on the Internet. If you don’t spray it, it is no problem. Let’s just consider it an advantage.

Second, the motivation is OK. 1.5t plus two front and rear motors can output a powertrain with a maximum output of 500kW. It is said that the acceleration of zero hundred is less than 5 seconds.


3. The battery life is also OK. The comprehensive battery life is 1200 kilometers, even if the water is removed, there should be no problem in 1000 kilometers.

Fourth, engage in cross-country, no matter how it is done, users can’t pay the bill, and their courage is commendable.

Let’s talk about defects:

1. One chassis battery, maybe I really don’t know where to put the battery, so it’s called battery chassis integration. Looking at the ground clearance of this car, it is 220mm, which is easy to bump in extreme working conditions. Because it is an integral design, it is estimated that maintenance will be more troublesome. Secondly, it is expensive and there are certain security risks. Even if the fender can be installed, the weight and thickness of the fender will increase the loss and affect the basic parameters such as ground clearance and departure angle, which is not a good thing for off-road.

Two. Not really three locks. As we all know, the strong off-road performance is inseparable from the blessing of three locks. At first, I felt quite conscience when I saw that the car was equipped with three locks, but I saw that it was not really three locks, and the middle lock was a lock in the software algorithm, which easily caused the torque of the front and rear electric bridges to be unable to transmit to each other. Once trapped in extreme road conditions, it would be more difficult to climb out only when a single wheel has adhesion. There is no ability to get out of trouble like a real three locks.

3. Lack of motivation. There may be some controversy here. Isn’t the motivation OK? Why is this called a defect again? The blame lies in the positioning of this car, which has always advertised itself as an off-road vehicle. Because cross-country is different from paving road conditions, it needs more power and consumes more energy. To put it bluntly, the power of the motor is easily consumed. After consumption, the kinetic energy of this 1.5t engine will be a little horse-drawn cart. Since the motor is charged, and the driving of the car must be ensured, the off-road performance of the car will be greatly reduced at this time, and the slope that can be climbed cannot go up, and the road that can be passed cannot pass. A very obvious problem.

4. Price, price, price. Some say 350 thousand starts, and some say 400 thousand starts. Either way, I think it’s too high.

In the final analysis, I personally feel that there are two biggest mistakes in this car. One is to position yourself as an off-road vehicle, and the other is to set the price too high. If it becomes a city, and then the price is lower, about 200 thousand, it should sell well.

How many sanitary napkins should a girl use in her life? Less than this number may be abnormal.

Picture 10.png

The professional content of this article was reviewed by Zhou Xunhua, director of gynecology department of Hunan Women and Children Hospital.

Menstruation towel is just needed by girls every month. Every year, Double Eleven is the top1 of the must-have list.

No, one week after the Double Eleven, I have completely become a "porter" of express delivery. Just the sanitary napkins that Little Strawberry’s mother hoarded, I moved three boxes.

This sanitary napkin is really a consumable. I wonder if any girl has calculated privately how many sanitary napkins she will use in her life. In order to satisfy this damn curiosity, I decided to calculate an account.

1. The money that girls spend on sanitary napkins all their lives.

The age of menarche for girls is about 12-14 years old, and the average age of menopause for women in China is 49.5 years old.

We all take the average and calculate it according to the interval of about 36 years between the ages of 13 and 49.5.

Once a month, 12 times a year, that’s 432 times in 36 years! The time for girls to menstruate is generally 3-7 days, which is 5 days on average.

Theoretically, it is suggested that girls change a menstruation towel every 2-4 hours during the day.

Because menstrual blood is attached to menstruation towel for a long time, it will breed a large number of bacteria. If it is not replaced in time, the "cultivated" bacteria in menstruation towel will enter the body along the vagina, which may cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis.

In this way, girls need to use at least four menstruation towels during the day and one at night when they sleep.

Moreover, in order not to dirty their underwear, many girls will pad it in advance a few days before they come. If they calculate it two days in advance, they will finally get an average of seven days of menstruation towels a month!

The price on the market now,The average price of daily sanitary napkins is 1 yuan/tablet,The average price of night sanitary napkins is 2 yuan/piece.So the cost of a day is 6 yuan,Menstruation is 42 yuan once.432 menstrual cycles *42 yuan/cycle = 18,144 yuan.Finally, it can be concluded that:The money that girls spend on sanitary napkins all their lives.Nearly 20 thousand yuan,It is equivalent to the price of buying 20 bottles of fairy water.This is only a rough estimate, and there may be some differences between girls with a large quantity and girls with a small quantity in the cost of menstruation towels.

2. How many tablets should I use each time?

When girls treat their period, they are always so ambivalent. When it comes, it bothers them. When it doesn’t come, they miss it, for fear that something will happen.

Generally speaking, a menstrual period lasts for 3~7 days, and the amount of blood loss per time is about 20~60 ml. If it exceeds 80 ml, it means menorrhagia, and if it is less than 20ml, it can be considered as menorrhagia.

However, some scholars believe that the menstrual flow of 5ml is not too small, provided that the doctor evaluates your ovarian function as normal.

How to judge this? It’s impossible to measure with a measuring cup, is it?

As a friend of women, although I can’t answer this question, I must solve it for everyone.

So, I humbly asked Zhou Xunhua, director of gynecology, and she gave us a good way to judge, that is, to observe your menstruation towel.

The amount of a daily menstruation towel that is completely soaked can be estimated as 20ml, and if only the middle part of menstruation towel is soaked, it accounts for about one third of the whole menstruation towel, it can be estimated as 5~7ml.

If each pack of sanitary napkins is 10 pieces, it is normal to use about four or five pieces every day on average. Except for the first day, one or two pieces will be soaked, and the menstruation towel replaced later will be soaked by about one third, and it is normal to use no more than two bags during each menstrual period.

(1) Excessive menstruation

It’s not enough to use 3 packs each time, and the replaced sanitary napkins are all wet, that is, the amount is too much.

There are many reasons for menorrhagia, such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding, hysteromyoma, adenomyosis and genital tract inflammation, and rare tumors.

(2) Too little menstruation

Every menstrual period lasts for 1 or 2 days, and it is enough to use one or two sanitary napkins every day, and it is only a little soaked, that is, the amount is too small.

The causes of menorrhagia are: endometrial damage (such as repeated abortion, endometritis, endometrial tuberculosis), or less hormones produced by ovaries.

After some quiet observation, if you find that your menstrual flow is abnormal, or too much or too little compared with before, you need to pay attention and go to the hospital in time.

3. Have you used all the menstruation towels correctly?

According to the above calculation, girls have to have 432 menstrual cycles in their lifetime, and they have to stay with their period for eight years. Therefore, sanitary napkins are very important for girls.

How to use sanitary napkins correctly and keep yourself away from the threat of gynecological diseases is something that every girl must master.

(1) Purchase regular and qualified sanitary napkins.

Look for these two criteria when purchasing sanitary napkins:

● Product standard GB/T 8939-2018-New regulations have been made on the indicators of formaldehyde and migratory fluorescent substances in sanitary napkins.

● Hygienic standard GB15979-2002——-specifies the amount of bacteria and fungi in sanitary napkins. According to this index, sanitary napkins can be divided into ordinary grade and disinfection grade.

When buying, try to choose products with complete information and recent production, and pay attention to whether the packaging is damaged or leaked.

The reason why the "bulk sanitary towel" that caused a heated discussion on the Internet some time ago is not recommended for everyone, because it is a three-no product, and the production materials and hygiene and safety cannot be guaranteed.

(2) Matters needing attention when using

Replace one diaper every 2-4 hours. If the amount is too large, the sanitary towel should be replaced if it is soaked within 2 hours.

Wash your hands before replacing! The process of unpacking, opening, smoothing and pasting sanitary napkins by hand can easily bring germs to sanitary napkins.

(3) Storage and preservation of sanitary napkins

Girls like to hoard goods, and sanitary napkins are no exception, but we must pay attention to the storage of sanitary napkins we bought.

● Sanitary napkins should be stored in a ventilated and dry environment, not in the bathroom or shower room for a long time, which is easy to breed bacteria and fungi.

● The shelf life of unopened sanitary napkins is generally 3 years. Once the package is opened, it is recommended to use it within 1 month.

● Do not use sanitary napkins that have passed the shelf life or are damp and moldy.

Mushrooms, I have given this knowledge about sanitary napkins. I hope every girl can correctly understand and use it and pay attention to her menstrual problems in time.

Drawing the "Belt and Road Initiative" aviation and trade map to "navigate" for promoting economic and trade cooperation

  Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, September 3 Title: Drawing the "Belt and Road Initiative" Air and Trade Map to "Navigate" for Promoting Economic and Trade Cooperation

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Jia Yuankun

  The "Belt and Road Initiative" trade volume index, the "Belt and Road Initiative" freight volume index, and the "Maritime Silk Road" freight rate index, the three data streams are combined into a "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade map, which is the "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade index officially released by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange on July 11, 2017.

  Like the "chart" used by ocean-going freighters, the "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade index has not only become a "barometer" that comprehensively and objectively reflects the economic and trade exchanges between countries and regions related to the "Belt and Road Initiative", but also enhances market transparency through information services, providing an important reference for promoting economic and trade cooperation.

  Three data streams plot the "barometer" of air trade

  The "Belt and Road Initiative" initiative brings new opportunities for trade and economic cooperation between relevant countries and regions. Where are the cooperation opportunities? How much flow of each product and where are the main markets? When information is not shared and demand is not communicated, the market is often in a wait-and-see state, and all parties need clear market information as a reference for decision-making.

  In line with the original intention of providing information services for the market and enhancing market transparency, since 2015, the Shanghai Shipping Exchange has started to develop the "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade index.

  "A single freight index cannot fully reflect the trade trends of countries and regions under the Belt and Road Initiative, and it is difficult to meet market demand. On the basis of developing the traditional strong freight index, the Shanghai Shipping Exchange has also explored the two dimensions of trade volume and trade volume. The purpose is to improve market transparency, truly reflect market supply and demand, and promote the long-term and healthy development of the market." Zhang Yi, president of the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, said.

  Due to the different types and values of goods, the relationship between trade volume and trade volume is not linear. For example, clothing, luggage and other trade volume is large, but the trade volume is relatively low, while the same volume of machinery and electronic products, the trade volume is much higher. The trade volume, trade volume data and the freight data of the corresponding route can comprehensively and objectively reflect the market active level and demand trend.

  The "Belt and Road Initiative" shipping index information is comprehensive, covering 65 countries along the "Belt and Road Initiative", distributed in North Asia, Central Asia, South East Asia, West Asia, North Africa, Europe and Oceania and other regions. The index is not limited to containers, but also includes bulk materials such as coal, railway stones, and crude oil. The mode of transportation is not limited to sea freight, but also includes rail transportation.

  To serve as a "barometer" of market trends, the authenticity and accuracy of information are essential. The "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade index data is widely collected by making full use of the membership advantages of the Shanghai Shipping Exchange. At present, the members of the Shanghai Shipping Exchange include about 130 well-known domestic and foreign shipowners, cargo owners and brokers from various transportation segments, and have high international recognition.

  "Weathervane" for going out, please come in "Service Station"

  The research and development of the "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade index is not only to serve shipping companies to open up routes and cargo owners to open up markets, but also to provide an information platform to enable enterprises in countries and regions along the route to communicate with each other, increase exchanges and promote trade.

  Since its official release on July 11, 2017, it has been published by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange on the China "Belt and Road Initiative" website every month. The "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade index consists of both monetary indicators, which reflect changes in trade volume and overall scale, quantitative indicators, which reflect the growth of specific trade flows, and price indicators, which reflect changes in market supply and demand and competition.

  "As a third-party platform, the freight index published by the Shanghai Airlines Exchange is highly influential, fair and just, and has been widely recognized by cargo owners and agents," said the shipping companies interviewed.

  "Chinese companies need to understand market information to explore overseas markets, and foreign companies need scientific services to enter the Chinese market," Zhang said. "Through the air trade index platform, companies can grasp the trade demand and trend of the market, the import volume and export volume of a certain product, and which regions mainly flow to China. This data information is an important basis for foreign companies to understand the supply and demand of the Chinese market."

  The "Maritime Silk Road" comprehensive index covers the freight rates of major cargo types, major routes, and major ship types of shipping. Its application is not only reflected in investment decisions, but also in risk avoidance, such as spot index linking and freight forward transactions.

  "The freight index is a bellwether that reflects the market level. At present, 45% of coal shipments along China’s coast are subject to index-related agreements to varying degrees, laying a good foundation for the promotion and application of the Belt and Road Initiative’s air trade index," said Liu Yue, manager of the information department of the Shanghai Shipping Exchange.

  Launch a shipping service brand and build an international cooperation platform

  Air trade information is a service product. To further promote its application and win the trust of enterprises in countries and regions along the route, it is necessary to use its comprehensiveness and scientificity to launch this shipping service brand. "The application of the Belt and Road Initiative air trade index has just started, and it is still necessary to continuously optimize and expand the connotation of the index. We also expect other national institutions to participate in the compilation and expand the application scope of the index." Zhang Page said.

  In addition to shipping and railways, in terms of transportation methods, the "Belt and Road Initiative" air trade index will include road and air transportation in the index system in the future; in terms of route layout, transportation routes between "Belt and Road Initiative" countries and regions will also be developed.

  At the same time, the Shanghai Shipping Exchange will also accelerate the application of the "Belt and Road Initiative" shipping index in the economic and trade fields of countries and regions related to the "Belt and Road Initiative", encourage traders and shippers in various countries to use the "Belt and Road Initiative" shipping index for index linking when signing trade and transportation contracts, and make the index a hedging tool for managing market volatility risk.

  The establishment of the information platform relies on a wider range of information sharing to create a data aggregation effect. In the process of promoting the application of the index, the Shanghai Airlines Exchange has simultaneously recruited other national institutions to participate in the compilation of the "Belt and Road Initiative" trade and freight index between countries and regions.

  "Behind the realization of policy communication, facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration and people-to-people connectivity, the flow of data and information is covered. Relying on the index platform and related information, jointly developing with countries and regions along the route, and creating the’Belt and Road Initiative ‘trade and freight big data platform will further upgrade data and information services," Zhang Page said.

To satisfy whose "interest"? A female beach volleyball player was fined for not wearing a bikini

The highly anticipated Tokyo Olympic Games has just come to an end, and people haven’t recovered from the hearty competition, and the sports world is once again in turmoil. According to reports, several European sports organizations demanded the resignation of the presidents of international and European handball federations, accusing them of asking female athletes to wear bikinis as "blatant gender discrimination", and public opinion was in an uproar. Previously, at the European Beach Handball Championship held in July, Norwegian women players were fined 1,500 euros for violating the regulations because of "improper dress".

It is worth noting that the "improper dress" here is not because the athletes are exposed too much or wearing strange clothes, but because they are not wearing bikinis! It is stipulated in this sport that female athletes must wear bikini trunks, while male athletes can wear shorts. After the penalty, the Norwegian Handball Federation filed a formal complaint against the regulation, but eventually paid a fine for each player. This matter is constantly fermenting on the Internet, and netizens said that it is hard to imagine that "there will be such a stupid idea now". This medieval mentality is simply a mockery of sportsmanship. In the end, the European Handball Federation was forced to refund the fine. However, anger has swept the sports world, and many sports organizations have jointly asked the person in charge of the event to step down.

This kind of behavior is just like the previous "Ukrainian female soldiers were asked to wear high heels to participate in the military parade". The purpose is nothing more than to make some people feel pleasing to the eye. Isn’t the double dress requirement for female athletes ignoring sportsmanship? As the president of the Italian Association for the Promotion and Defence of the Rights of Female Athletes said, shameful gender discrimination is destroying the sport and the reputation of international sports federations.

In fact, female athletes have always been featured when they participate in sports competitions. In 2011, the International Badminton Federation asked female athletes to wear short skirts or trousers to help restore people’s declining interest in women’s badminton. Coincidentally, in track and field, beach volleyball and tennis, women are required to wear more revealing clothes. In the long run, female athletes’ choice of what clothes to wear when participating in sports has been faced with judgments from all walks of life. However, the "dress code" of these female athletes has become the main obstacle for some women to pursue sports. Beach volleyball players were required to wear bikinis in the Olympic Games before 2012, but this violated the traditions of some Muslim countries, so athletes from these countries could not show their strength and grace on the international stage.

Fortunately, in order to show that sports are more culturally inclusive, FIVB began to change the rules and add various clothing combinations. For example, in the 2016 Olympic Games, Egyptian women’s volleyball players competed in trousers and long sleeves. At the European Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in April this year, German gymnasts did not wear traditional triangle costumes, but wore tight jumpsuits, which were still elegant and beautiful. The media called her move "sportswear revolution". What Norwegian female athletes want is "shorts freedom", and they just want to choose the most comfortable clothes to compete. In other sports, female athletes have the same demands and have been making efforts to this end.

In a word, the dress code of competitive sports should not exploit women’s rights, and it is understandable to have clear dress code for professional athletes, but double standards are absolutely unacceptable. The dress code should serve the athletes and help them to perform better in the competition, instead of becoming a stumbling block. It doesn’t matter what a female athlete wears, what matters is her strength. It is the first thing to show the beauty of sports and the spirit of human beings beyond the limit.
