Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1453: Weird tax reform
Changes in the textile industry are just one example.
More and various industrial products continue to appear on the market, so that people can enjoy various products in the industrialization era, and also make the industrial and commercial economy of the Datang Empire show a very good momentum of development.
In the winter of the 22nd year of Xuanping, the report submitted by the Ministry of Commerce stated that the industrial and commercial output value of the 22nd year of Xuanping was 23% higher than that of the 22nd year of Xuanping!
At the same time, the Ministry of Taxation also submitted a tax report. The report stated that due to the surging development of domestic industry and commerce, tax revenue from industry and commerce has also risen sharply, and this increase has been at least 15% or more.
Moreover, this increase has not fully tapped the potential brought about by the development of industry and commerce. The officials of the Ministry of Taxation have already clapped their chests to ensure that by the 23rd year of Xuanping, the taxation of industry and commerce will increase. Catch up with industrial and commercial output value to increase happiness, or even exceed.
In this regard, Li Xuan is very pleased, but he did not forget to instruct the tax department, this tax collection, can not only focus on those companies, but also pay more attention to other taxes, such as personal income tax.
This personal income tax has been implemented by Datang for more than ten years, but it has not achieved great results. The personal income tax is paid entirely in accordance with the tax law. Only government employees, enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and a few other large-scale private enterprises only a few employees.
However, it is only limited to this. In fact, most people do not pay personal income tax.
According to the total population of the current Datang Empire, the number of people who pay personal income tax is only about 0.2%.
There are many reasons for this. One of the reasons is that in order to avoid widespread anti-corruption among the people, the starting point for the collection of personal income tax stipulated by Datang is very high, and personal income tax needs to be paid only when the monthly income exceeds three yuan.
And this is just a number. Basically, most people are unable to achieve a monthly income of three yuan, which basically declares that the vast majority of ordinary workers do not need to pay individual tax, and only wages need to be paid. High-income groups such as higher technical personnel, management personnel and government employees.
At the same time, the tax rate at the threshold is also very low, but it is only five percent. Although it is said to be levied in a step-by-step manner, the second step is the income of ten yuan, and the tax rate is only seven percent. After the monthly salary of fifty yuan, Its tax rate has only reached fifteen percent.
Fifteen percent is the highest personal tax rate.
The high starting point of taxation has resulted in fewer people paying taxes, and the tax rate is relatively low, which also leads to the fact that the individual tax collected is actually a very small number.
And Li Xuan is a little dissatisfied with this. You must know that in modern countries, personal income tax is a very important tax, even in modern countries, personal income tax is also very important.
This is not just about how much tax can be collected, but more importantly, a tax is an important means to balance the gap between the rich and the poor.
The gap between the rich and the poor is a very sensitive issue not only in modern countries, but even in a modern country like the Datang Empire that has initially entered into industrialization.
Li Xuan is planning to take precautions and take measures in advance.
Personal tax is just one of them. In the future, Li Xuan plans to levy more taxes to balance the gap between the rich and the poor, such as inheritance tax.
Historically, many aristocrats in Europe lived very well even in the modern capitalist era, but why after the 20th century, one by one became run-down households, this is because of the inheritance tax.
If the heir wants to inherit the estate, he needs to pay a high inheritance tax. After paying the inheritance tax, his family property will inevitably shrink, and his mouth will become a noble with an empty title.
However, inheritance tax is too lethal. Rao is Li Xuan's prestige now, but he doesn't plan to levy any inheritance tax at this time. If an inheritance tax is required, I am afraid that the middle and high level of the country will strongly oppose it. .
So Li Xuan still has to find a suitable practice to do it. Now, it's a little earlier, and it's enough to start a tax.
And the tax thing, the tax department is still a little cautious, and only collects a tax on salary.
But no matter what era it is, people who are purely paid are only part of it, let alone in the country of the Datang Empire. More people's income does not come from wages, but from other aspects, such as making Make money from business, make money from investing in stocks.
Based on practical difficulties, it is basically difficult for the tax department to supervise many cash transactions. Otherwise, the tax department will not have to decide to kill any enterprise, whether it is a large enterprise or a small shop, must open a public account, funds The flow must go to the public account.
But the regulations are dead, people are alive, such as many shops, regardless of whether it is a restaurant or a small shop, the owner of others accepts cash, and does not keep income and presidency bookkeeping, even if their tax department has all the means, it is also very good. Hard to find out.
Therefore, for the supervision and taxation of cash transactions of small merchants, this super problem cannot be solved for a while, but for many other aspects, especially many transactions through bank accounts, there is no problem in collecting taxes.
So Li Xuan instructed the tax department that this tax should not be limited to salary income, other personal income should also be counted, such as investing in stocks to make money, starting a company to make money, and even gambling to make money. All belong to personal income, since it is personal income, it should be charged personal income tax!
As for how to collect it and how much the tax rate is, Li Xuan will not point fingers. A large number of experts in the tax department are calculating how to collect taxes every day.
Collecting taxes is art!
With less income, the people are happy, but the government has no money!
If you receive too much, it goes without saying that the public will definitely have a lot of opinions, and to a certain extent, big troubles will come.
Therefore, the tax proportion of any type of tax is calculated and considered repeatedly, and it is definitely not decided at a stroke.
As for how to collect it, this is even more of a skill. Your tax department has to collect taxes, which is to take money out of people's pockets. People are reluctant to hand over the money obediently.
Even though Datang's tax laws are very strict and the consequences of tax evasion and evasion are very serious, the premise is that the tax department can obtain evidence.
Moreover, although the tax laws of Datang are extremely complicated, there are many smart people in this world. They will always have various legal means to evade tax. Although this tax evasion makes the tax department hate it, it does not mean that Every tax evader will be investigated.
Because there is a problem with the cost of law enforcement, there are many people who evade taxes, especially those small businesses, few of whom pay taxes honestly, but if the tax department really strictly enforces the law, the cost of investigation is huge. Go, the tax department doesn't have so many law enforcement officers.
Moreover, in the legal system of Datang, judges are given a certain right of comprehensive consideration. Therefore, when targeting vulnerable groups such as small businesses, judges tend to favor them, unless your tax department comes up with solid evidence, otherwise In this case, the judges will not convict these businesses at all, even if there is evidence, but generally they will only be sentenced to make up the tax, and will not make too severe punishment.
Because of the social impact, it is not easy for these small businesses. If many businesses and even small businesses do not avoid a tax, they will not be able to survive. Therefore, judges tend to favor these small businesses, and the tax department will sue small businesses. , there are at most ten convictions out of a hundred, and all the others are dismissed, and even the vast majority of those convicted are just paying back taxes.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be done by small businesses. If it is a big business, if the big business dares to evade tax, the tax department will let them know why the flowers are so popular in minutes.
To deal with tax evasion and tax evasion, the Ministry of Taxation stated that there are 100 ways. Whether or not to investigate is nothing more than a question of law enforcement costs.
It's not worth the effort to deal with small businesses, and it's easy to get into trouble and be called vampires by the public, but it's different for big businesses. If a case is done, it's a big case, and the taxes and fines you get will be paid. Many do not say, and the people will generally applaud, and they themselves will gain greater fame.
Even the censors of the Inspectorate and even the judges in the court are often more inclined to attack these big companies and gain fame for themselves!
Attacking the weak, this kind of thing will ruin the reputation, and then affect the career.
But if it's a big company, it's different. If you say it out loud, who doesn't give a thumbs up and say you're awesome, you're a good official!
Therefore, although there are still a lot of tax evasion and evasion, it is limited to ordinary individuals and small shops, as well as some small enterprises and micro enterprises. Medium and large enterprises dare not do this!
Looking at the current taxation system of the Tang Dynasty, compared with the modern countries of later generations, it is still very imperfect, even for most countries in modern times, it is not as good as it is, but in the middle of the sixteenth century, it is An epoch-making product.
Otherwise, why Datang's fiscal revenue can reach 200 million a year is because the tax department is powerful enough!
Now the tax department has received the latest instruction from Li Xuan, asking them to focus on the tax issue in the next few years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A large number of experts in the tax department have also begun to work hard.
Although the overall tax improvement plan cannot be worked out for a while, but in order to let the Son of Heaven see the effectiveness of their work, they have come up with a small improvement plan in the short term.
That is, the scope of personal tax collection has been expanded on a small scale, which was limited to wages in the past, and expanded to investment income, including income from investing in stocks, and income from various investment behaviors such as investing in companies. These are included in the individual within the scope of income tax collection.
Of course, the tax rate has also been re-formulated. In the past, the maximum was only 15%. Now, it has been raised to 25%.
The new individual tax plan is scheduled to be implemented in Xuanping twenty-three years, but this new individual tax plan has not caused much repercussions, and it is quite strange that all parties are satisfied with it!
