Why not to abolish the travel tax?

For the vehicle and vehicle tax duplicate set, the goal is pluralistic and cross, the levy tax cost is high, the urgent need merges the tax, the simplification tax system "the Finance new Net" (reporter Wangchangyong) to travel tax law bill's dispute, may exceed the finance and taxation department's beforehand anticipation. October 28, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in the State Council to consider the draft law on travel tax after the first instance, the draft law and instructions in the Chinese large network published to the public to solicit views.　　By 22 o'clock in the evening on November 1, 57,339 comments had been made online. Compared with the current interim regulations of the travel tax, there are three main aspects in the reform of the draft tax law: One is to expand the scope of the tax, by the law should be registered in the Travel and Transport Management Department, to expand to whether or not the vessel should be registered to the management department, should be included in the scope of taxation; the second is to change the tax basis, the passenger car's tax basis,　　From the current unified levy, adjusted to the engine exhaust volume of the size of the classification of the levy; third, adjusted the tax burden structure, according to the engine exhaust size, respectively, to reduce, unchanged and improve the structural adjustment.　　What is the target? The controversy over the draft travel tax is focused on the location and target of the travel tax. The government has positioned the travel tax as a property tax and taxed the engine's exhaust, Xuren, the Minister of Finance, said in a statement to the travel tax code.　　The important objective is "to give play to the regulatory function of travel tax, which embodies the policy of encouraging the use of low energy and low emission small-displacement vehicles". In this respect, members of the NPC Standing Committee and the public have a lot of questions. Xiaoling, a member of the NPC Standing Committee, believes that the legislative objective of travel tax should be unitary, and that the main purpose of legislation is to adjust property or energy saving.　　In her view, if the travel tax is set as a property tax, the issue of emissions can be considered in the collection process, but do not regard it as the most important criterion, the tax rate and the basis of levy will be simpler.　　Favour members that the travel tax as a property tax, the basis of tax should be based on the value of evaluation. In response to this question, Treasury Secretary Xuren responded that the travel tax as a property tax, the tax basis should theoretically be the value of the assessment of travel. But the number of vehicles and vehicles scattered in the tens of thousands of households, valuation difficult to operate. Some countries choose engine exhaust that has a positive correlation with vehicle value as the basis of tax. According to the emission tax can basically reflect the property tax of the travel tax, reflect the policy of encouraging the use of low energy consumption, low emissions of small displacement vehicles, from the point of view of management also has a strong operability.　　Accordingly, the bill will adjust the tax basis for passenger cars from the current uniform levy to the size of the exhaust volume.　　Xuren's explanation did not convince the doubters, favour that the guiding role of energy-saving emission reduction, in fact, should be adjusted through the fuel consumption tax, the car more run, more emissions will be more tax, which is reflected in the fuel consumption tax. NPC Representative Cong Mei that the travel tax as a property tax, the introduction of the tax law is to adjust the economic interests of a lever, should be in accordance with its value, so more can reflect fairness and justice. If we use the exhaust quantity as the standard, we can not reflect the rich and poor that we often talk aboutBetween the size of the purchase amount, which is not a good balance. In addition, a large number of members and the public believe that small-displacement vehicles, the total energy consumption and emissions are not necessarily less, many small vehicle technology indicators low, and excessive development and use, the total energy consumption and emissions are often high. The use of vehicle total energy consumption and emissions and engine displacement is not completely equivalent, and the current hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, the use of displacement as a tax basis is difficult to be objective and impartial. The goal of regulating energy consumption and emissions can be reflected by the fuel consumption tax.　　If the travel tax is positioned as a property tax and is somewhat duplicative of the current vehicle purchase tax, the vehicle purchase tax is levied at a one-time rate of 10% per purchase price. The difference between government and public opinion can be found, for the purchase and use of vehicles, the government has three kinds of taxation, that is, the purchase of vehicles to levy a vehicle purchase tax, fully based on the price, high taxes, reflect the price adjustment, in the vehicle use link, there is fuel consumption tax, tax and vehicle use is fully related to the energy consumption, emissions corresponding.　　And in the holding link levy travel tax, trying to reflect the property tax nature, but also embodies energy-saving emission reduction targets, the result is not with the property tax, there is difficulty and energy-saving emission reduction corresponding. Therefore, the travel tax legislation needs to integrate the existing travel taxes, the target should be combined tax and simplify the tax target.　　The vehicle purchase tax strengthens its property tax function, draws lessons from the levy model of the travel tax draft, sets up the multi-level tax rate, the income still belongs to the central government. The function of energy saving and emission reduction should be realized by reforming and perfecting the fuel consumption tax, and the fuel consumption tax should be changed from production to fuel retail, and the revenue of fuel consumption tax should be classified as local taxes by the current central tax.　　After perfect, the fuel consumption tax is completely and use coincide, that is to fully reflect the vehicle's energy consumption, emissions and the extent of road use, but also to solve the tax on emissions, how to deal with the problem of hybrid cars and electric vehicles. In this way, there is a new solution to the controversy over the bill of travel tax, that is, the repeated setting of the travel tax, the diversified and overlapping taxes, and the necessity of the existence. How can we abolish the tax on travel?
