Undertaking Solidarity and Firmness:Progress and Prospect in the Reform of Administration of Tax Collection

Over the past two decades,China's tax law reform has become a highly valued and distinguished area for earnestly advancing Chinese socialist rule of law construction.With the establishment of the principle on strengthening legality of imposing tax,as well as new settings regarding China's social and economic development,the administration and management of tax collection and protection of taxpayers'well-being gradually and vigilantly attain responsiveness from top national legislators and scholars.Meanwhile,the efforts exerted by tax administers on fighting tax evasion have been elevated on both international and domestic grounds.For example,a focal area is the evaluation and collction of presumptive tax which is a common routine for administers around the world.Moreover,the current laws and regulations on administering tax collection invite a rigorous process of revision and modification with contermporary conceptions of taxpayers'well-being.This article argues that,through the example of presumptive tax collection,the administration and management of tax collection should adhere to the basic principles of protecting taxpayers and advancing the goals of de-administrating arduous procedures to conform to new trends of social and economic development.It also proposes that the vigor and dynamics of tax collection efforts should coincide with national goals of reformulating the individual income tax collection mechanisms,solidifying the national conversion of business tax to value-added tax,matching with the new wave of bankruptcy of certain enterprises,and so forth.

The Effect of "Pressure-Type" Fiscal Incentives on Industrial Restructuring in China

The optimization and upgrading of industrial structure is the driving force to build a new development pattern and improve the quality and efficiency of economic development.China's"pressure-type"fiscal incentives(PTFIs)are an important perspective from which the law of industrial structure change can be analyzed.Based on the dynamic panel data of 285 cities in China and the behavioral characteristics of local governments,this paper explores the effects of PTFIs on industrial restructuring using the GMM estimation method.It is found that PTFIs are conducive to improving the"quantity"of industrial structure upgrading(ISU),but not conducive to improving the"quality"of ISU or the rationalization of industrial structure(RIS).Mechanism identification reveals that,with PTFIs,local governments influence industrial restructuring mainly by"expanding financial resources with land"(EFRWL)and increasing the intensity of tax collection and management(ITCM).Further discussion reveals that a higher degree of fiscal decentralization and environmental regulation can effectively alleviate the negative impact of PTFIs on industrial restructuring.Accordingly,this paper puts forward some policy recommendations to promote the balanced development of industrial structure,such as improving the institutional conditions and standardizing the behavior of local governments.
