Reporter: Chen wei Fang Ye Intern: Jiang edging Ministry of Finance 9th issued "on the promotion of provincial direct management of the financial reform of the Views" (hereinafter referred to as "opinion"), said that by the end of 2012, in addition to the national autonomous areas to promote the overall provincial direct management of county financial reform, the recent first The big counties of hog production are all included in the reform scope.　　National autonomous areas, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, strengthen the support and guidance of grassroots finance to promote economic and social development. "The implementation of this reform, mainly because our national public services by the county to bear more, and has always been the city of the Government of the finance, the town has to the district, resulting in the other, often insufficient support to the county, which may cause impact on the development of various issues."　　"Wang Zhaozai, deputy director of Treasury finance, said. At present, China's financial management institutions are divided into central, provincial and district of the city, county, township level five. It is reported that since 1994 China's implementation of the tax-sharing, the demand for clear financial and authority of the unity, that is, the level of government finance.　　With the development of economy, the model of "city-dominating county" has been exposed to the disadvantages, and the government's financial resources and power and power are asymmetrical. "The financial reform of the Provincial-Governing county, essentially, is to reduce the allocation of financial funds, because the more the number of distribution, the more filtering." Reducing the allocation of financial funds is not only helpful to strengthen the centralized management of local fiscal revenue, but also conducive to the supervision of the use of funds. In addition, this kind of flat management way also conforms to the goal of the government system reform.　　"Wang Zhaozai points out. "Opinion" clearly pointed out that the implementation of provincial direct management of the county financial reform, is in the government revenue and expenditure division, transfer payments, capital transactions, the final accounts, year-end settlement, and so on, by the provincial financial and municipal and county Financial direct contact to carry out related business work.　　This reform is an important part of China's financial system reform. According to the opinion, we should further rationalize the expenditure responsibility of the provinces and cities and counties and determine the respective expenditure range of the city and county, and the city or county shall not require the other party to share the responsibility of expenditure within its own jurisdiction.　　According to the standard method, reasonable division province and city, county's income range.　　In transfer payments, tax returns, the income tax returns and so on, by the province direct approval and the subsidy to the city, the county, the special appropriation subsidy, by each city, the county directly to the provincial finance and so on the application, by the provincial Finance Department direct issued the city, the county, the municipal finance may continue to the county by the provincial finance In the preparation of financial accounts, the "opinion" pointed out that the city and county in accordance with the requirements of provincial financial departments, respectively, the preparation of the budget and the year-end accounts.　　Financial settlement, the end of all types of settlement, will be the provincial financial and municipal and county finance directly, cities and counties if there are settlement matters, must be through the provincial financial management. In addition, the reform has abolished the daily capital relationship between the city and the county, and the provincial finance directly determines the proportion of the funds left in the cities and counties.　　Each city, the county Treasury according to the stipulation directly to the provincial Treasury to report the financial storehouse money. "The fiscal reform of the provincial-governing counties is now almosthas been covered by all provinces, such as Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Ningxia and other fields have pilot, and has been practiced for many years. At present, the most successful is Zhejiang province, its counties are basically not financially difficult.　　"Wang Zhaozai said. He also stressed: "At present, the reform also faces layers of resistance." First, the city-level government needs a period of adaptation; Secondly, when the city and county unite to carry out public service projects and deal with the problems, there may be friction due to the intersection of various powers. Finally, as China still stipulates that it is ' the city governing County ', there are still many legal areas to be perfected. "The opinion requires that areas that have already been fully implemented should follow the progress of reform closely, that the areas being piloted will experience and accelerate, and that pilot programmes should be developed as soon as possible in areas where the pilot has not yet been carried out."
