The News (reporter Zhang) 17th issued by the Ministry of Finance, "a tax starting point to adjust timely" message let a tax once again become hot debate topic. Reporters found that the major web site financial channel, the message of concern is still on the front. To 8 o'clock last evening, the Sina net about a tax news more in more than 10, the earliest one of the thread volume up to 14,499.  Most netizens agree to raise the tax starting point. Reporters in the street to visit some people, they said, raising the tax starting point is a good thing. In these two years, the price rises quickly, eats the expensive, the tax collection point does not raise, the basic life how many will be affected. How much is the reasonable starting point?  These people think it is about $3000. Official voice: High starting point "poor" damage according to the analysis of the Ministry of Finance, the high income groups benefited greatly after raising the starting point, and the interests of low-income groups would be impaired.  Raise the tax starting point, the difficult group and the low income person not only cannot benefit, but becomes the main group which the interest is affected. "A tax is mainly used to subsidize vulnerable groups, etc., if the deduction is too high, high-income earners pay a large reduction, the state revenue will be reduced, the state's subsidies to low-income groups and social security, education, health care and other expenditures will also be affected."  "Tax officers: high-income people will be the key to the levy of Wuhan, an unnamed tax officials, starting from 1980 to levy a levy of 800 yuan, China's personal income tax has been raised 3 times since March 1 last year to raise the current 2000 yuan." He does not think that raising the starting point will hurt the interests of low-income groups. "Every time you raise the threshold, there is no reduction in personal income tax. On the contrary, in 2008, the national personal income tax completed 372.2 billion yuan, the tax revenue accounted for 6.4% of the total tax revenue, has been the fourth major tax in domestic taxes.  The person said that in the future, the country will certainly be a tax collection focused on high-income groups, with the relevant laws and regulations more and more perfect, annual income of more than 120,000 of the proportion of the tax will continue to increase.  Local professors: Tax cannot be "both rich and poor" yesterday, Professor Dongdengwen, director of the Institute of Financial Securities at Wuhan University of Science and Technology, said that individual income tax could not achieve the goal of "all rich and poor".  He introduced that "personal income" consists of two types of income: first, the income of labor (such as wages, funds, royalties, etc.), and the second is the income of capital (such as stock trading, property transactions and other property transfer income).  In foreign countries, personal income is levied according to the "comprehensive income" of the year, that is, the total income of the individual or family in the year and the income of the capital, thus determining the grade of tax rate, the important role of "all rich and poor" is obvious. Because the stock exchange is difficult to open and verify, the proceeds of property transactions are difficult to calculate. Therefore, there are still many obstacles in the current annual income declaration system of more than 120,000. China's tax legislation and enforcement efforts still need to be increased, the tax department to operate backward technology and inefficient situation still need to improve.
