Water, gold or the way in which taxes are levied are still being debated. The recent spate of resource tax reforms has sent a signal of "good news". With the National Development and Reform Commission in the "2009 deepen the work of the economic restructuring of the views" clearly put forward "research and timing issued a resource tax reform program", the Ministry of Finance in June dedicated to the 2009 "two sessions" resource tax reform proposals for the work of the symposium, resource tax reform has entered the countdown.　　The voice of the industry that will widen the scope of the levy and reform the way it is levied, many experts in the morning News interview pointed out that the pace of resource tax reform is indeed more and more close, it is possible to complete the reform next year, if the water, gold as a new tax levied on resources, water prices, gold prices will be affected. Water, gold or on the collection list at present, our country collects the main items of the resource tax are crude oil, coal, natural gas and other non-metallic mineral ore, ferrous metal ore, nonferrous metal ore, salt and so on. These seven tax items cover most of the known mineral resources, but there are still many natural resources, such as water resources, gold, geothermal resources, forest resources and so on.　　This has become the focus of the resource tax reform.　　Liu Huan, deputy dean of the Taxation College of the Central University of Finance and Economics, said in an interview that the content of the resources tax has extended a lot, such as gold and water, especially the waste of water resources is very serious, so the next step is to expand the resources tax items to such products.　　Tong Gongliang, a professor of taxation at the Central University of Finance and Economics, said the introduction of a resource tax could boost the economy and remind companies to use resources rationally and efficiently.　　Downstream resources price impact is not much for the vast majority of people, the most concern is undoubtedly after the resource tax reform, downstream water, oil, gold, coal and other prices will be affected.

Andifu that if the state of water resources and gold production, processing enterprises levy a resource tax, will be water prices, gold prices to adjust to a reasonable level.　　Andifu also points out that investors who love gold will naturally be able to absorb more taxes since they can accept the current high price of gold. The mode of levy is still under discussion "What kind of resource tax is currently being discussed, may be ' from the price ' levy, may also be ' from the quantity ', ' The price ' of the two kinds of levy way together."　　According to Professor Andifu, the change in the way of the levy is also the highlight of the resource tax reform.　　Professor Andifu pointed out that the state from the beginning to use "from the Quantity" Levy method to levy a resource tax, but in the course of the practice of some of the prices of items and tax revenue and so on, which led to the continuous reform calls. It is learnt that most of the current participants want to change the levy of the resource tax from the levy, some think that the "from the price", "The amount of" the two methods of collection, and some of the different tax items should be taken by different partiesType.
