Chapter 1972 Divide money plan
The trio of the Finance and Taxation Bureau had already had ideas on how to balance the interests of the central and local governments with tax revenue. They even had an internal discussion with the Ministry of Finance when they were still in Lingao, and Cheng Dong also had an internal discussion with various big shots in private discuss.

The problem is that the financial system involves too much and too deep, and it can be said that it involves the whole body, ranging from political system to government structure and departmental checks and balances, so there has been no clear statement.Qian Chengdong, who came to Guangzhou, once specifically explained that this is an opportunity to jump out of Lingao and out of Hainan to conduct experiments, and they must seize it.Strive to use Guangzhou as a pilot to completely push forward the reform of the financial system of Australia and Song Dynasty.But in fact, the elders in Guangzhou, even Liu Xiang himself, are louder than anyone else at ordinary times. When Ai Zhixin and the others took the plan to ask for opinions, they all laughed, either vaguely speaking or expressing that they did not understand--not really. I don’t understand, the main reason is that I’m afraid of being caught by the “trick” of Cai Jinkou, and I will be financially passive in the future... So Ai Zhixin decided to give them a sense of urgency at this meeting that if they don’t face the reality, they will have no money to spend. Let's all sit down and discuss.

"We have two options, one is gentle and the other is explosive, which one do you want to hear first?" Wang Qiyi intends to ease the serious atmosphere.

"Brilliant!"

"Let your wife tell!"

"Yes, I don't want to hear about him, a middle-aged greasy man, BBBB."

Everyone knows that Wang Qiyi and his wife have good tempers, and they don't have much scruples about making jokes.

"Okay, let me talk about the explosive one first," Zhang Xiaoqi felt that her husband really knew these rough things too well, "The Finance and Taxation Bureau divides the tax department into the National Taxation Bureau and the Local Taxation Bureau..."

"Is the country separated? You have no creativity."

"With just one more agency coming out, how many people do we have to recruit as civil servants!"

……

"Listen to me. Now Guangzhou is most worried about having no money. Apart from this, how to divide and calculate your own money and the central government's money, Mayor Liu, are you really careful?"

"No, of course not. Even if I think a little more, it is for the development of Guangzhou and the construction of Guangzhou."

"That's right. After all, the taxes are all collected from Guangzhou, right? You are in charge of Guangzhou. Of course, you want these taxes to stay in Guangzhou. It is no problem to take them from the people and use them from the people. Right? Everyone can Understood. So if we get all the tax money to the central government and have to report it every time before it can be used, will you still be so enthusiastic about tax collection? Will everyone here still care about our Finance and Taxation Bureau? No way. Will you get some easy-to-spend money from other ways? Surely you will. Of course, I don’t think this has anything to do with selfishness, and I would do the same thing if I were a local official.

Liu Xiang nodded slightly.He came out very early to be the chief official of the county. In the position of director of Qiongshan County, he ran between Lingao and Qiongshan countless times for the matter of "making money", which consumed a lot of time and energy. A "model county" has been established, and there has long been great dissatisfaction with the issue of local financial autonomy.However, Qiongshan’s fiscal revenue in those days was mainly agricultural tax—grain, and it basically relied on central subsidies from funds to materials for some construction, so the opinion was not too big. It's very different.

"Let me tell you something. Do you know why the national and local taxes were separated in 94 in the old time and space? It was not because the local government had no money but because the central government had no money. Before the national and local taxes were separated, the government had only one set of taxes from top to bottom. Institutions. On the eve of the separation in 1993, the central government’s finances were in an extremely difficult predicament. Statistics show that the proportion of the central government’s fiscal revenue in the national fiscal revenue has dropped from 1984% in 40.5 to 1993% in 22.0. The income and expenditure of the country even have to rely on the local fiscal revenue to balance. Did all levels of government in China ignore the central government at that time? Of course not, it is the system that dictates it.

"So later we adopted the separation of national taxation and local taxation, and the establishment of local taxation bureaus. In fact, the central government transfers part of the tax revenue to the local government, bringing the revenue into the formal tax system and giving the local enough financial resources to avoid the generation of gray fiscal revenue. We absorbed the old Lessons from time and space, cut the scope of collection cleanly, and don’t engage in centralized payment. Of course, there are disadvantages in doing so. The first is the waste of personnel. We don’t have so many people now. Taxpayers are estimated to have double the cost of paying taxes. Furthermore, the tax types left to you in Liu Dafu, that is, the tax types of the local tax bureau, are probably the same as the old time and space. They are difficult to collect, low tax rates, and small in total. Easy to collect and manage Definitely in the IRS..."

"Isn't this a clear indication of bullying??"

"How else did the old time and space increase the income of the central government? In order to prevent you from graying out all the taxes, he will give you some soup when eating meat. That's what it means, because the decision-making power is not in the central government."

"Then how do you think the central government will divide?" Liu Xiang was determined to ask clearly

"First of all, the best collection of stamp duty must be the central government, as is the old time and space. Property tax, which is easy to determine, low in accounting costs, and stable in tax amounts, must also be collected by the central government. The rest is circulation tax, um, this is Big head, but it is difficult to manage and the collection cost is high, so it is likely to be handed over to the local tax bureau. But... this tax has a large source of taxation, and it is likely that the central government requires direct sharing."

"This is an empty-handed white wolf! How can you do this! We will do the work, and we will distribute it to the central government. Isn't that done for nothing?"

"Hehe, that's what the old time and space did." Wang Qiyi smiled.

"Then what about the other plan?" Liu Xiang didn't participate in the chorus, his face was a little gloomy, and he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think clearly for a while.

"The other plan is like this," Zhang Xiaoqi waited for Liu Xiang's words. In fact, they mainly recommended the second plan, but if they didn't come up with two choices, it would make Liu Xiang and other elders feel forced to accept it, so The first plan was very sloppy and focused on the disadvantages.

"Tax sharing, budget grading. To put it simply, tax revenue is divided according to the ratio negotiated between the central and local governments. This is called the budget level. After the treasury receives the tax, it directly allocates the part divided by the local government to the local government. As for the sharing ratio, It depends on the opinions of the central government and the local government. This ratio can be adjusted at any time, so it is not a hassle. The advantage of doing this is that besides the quick money, the local government has its own fixed tax source, it is also conducive to streamlining the organization, improving the quality of personnel, and convenient Management, reduced collection costs, clear division of taxes, etc., Shanghai has never been separated in old time and space, which is also very good. The downside is that this share ratio depends entirely on the efforts of everyone in the Senate."

"The central government still has the final say..." Liu Xiang felt unwilling.

"Haha, my Liu Dafu, what are you struggling with? You are one of the central government, have you forgotten your identity? You are a veteran, a veteran of the senate, and you are a member of the central government! It's just an expatriate. Everyone here, which one?" Not from the central government? Are you planning to settle down in Guangzhou for the rest of your life? To be honest, sooner or later, the provincial officials will be naturalized civilian cadres. From now on, you will be the central government in their mouths."

Wang Qiyi felt that the people in the house had stayed in Guangzhou for a long time, and they unconsciously thought that they were the director (director) of XXX in Guangzhou, forgetting their original identities.

However, this is justifiable - after all, political achievements require an economic foundation.

"Not to mention, Mu Min, you are in front of the Guangzhou City Police Chief, but you are not only the Guangzhou City Police Chief. There is also Fatty Cui, you are the head of the entire new Taoism, not only this Guangzhou City Five Daoist of Xianguan."

"Well, you're right." Liu Xiang suddenly turned the corner and poured so much effort into Guangzhou that he really made himself a pure mayor of Guangzhou.After all, he was going back to the center.It is to go back, not to be promoted.

"Then you say now, you have to give me money to do things. Even if I go back, I want to make achievements in Guangzhou before going back."

"This can be fought for. Let's take an example, such as property tax. This is a tax source formed by the locals in Guangzhou. It has little to do with the outside world. It is entirely possible to ask for a high local share. To put it bluntly, it is just like the old time and space. Those related to the local economy You can ask for a substantial increase in the share of taxes that are closely related to the situation, and it makes sense whoever develops well and who benefits more."

"Everyone," Ai Zhixin saw that everyone was lost in thought and decided to make a final decision so as not to give them a chance to entangle, "Our entire financial department has discussed many times internally, and most people think that the second plan is very in line with our reality. Situation: It is now in the initial stage of creation, and all aspects must be simplified. The tax sharing system can not only ensure local financial resources but also ensure central revenue. Now that construction is being carried out in various places, we must support local governments in terms of sharing. But we throw away Not to mention the split, right now the central government and its various departments directly invest in a lot of local construction? Take the medical system as an example, the Guangdong General Hospital in Guangzhou was built by the Construction Corporation, and the medical staff are also from various units and departments of the Ministry of Health. The school trained and transferred directly, the equipment was allocated by the Lingao Medical Equipment Factory, etc... Isn’t this another kind of transfer payment besides financial allocation and sharing?”

…………

"I'm more optimistic about the second option." Liu Xiang pondered for a while after listening to Ai Zhixin's concluding speech, "How about we vote?"

"Don't worry, this is not a trivial matter. I think it's better for everyone to go back and think about it. I have prepared a lot of drafts for this plan, so let's take a copy." Ai Zhixin thinks that this kind of pilot project is best It is better to consider prudently and obtain the maximum support before advancing.
