The Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly requested that 1 00 administrative fees be cancelled and stopped nationwide from1in 2009. The administrative fees cancelled and suspended this time include administrative fees, license fees, appraisal fees, education fees and examination fees. The main items include: compulsory education miscellaneous fees, compulsory education borrowing fees, advanced diploma fees, temporary residence permit (card) fees, labor contract verification fees, labor dispute arbitration fees, professional qualification certificate fees, urban housing demolition management fees, engineering quota determination fees, construction project quality supervision fees, livestock and poultry product epidemic prevention fees, agricultural machinery service fees, import and export goods license fees, foreign-invested enterprise approval certificate fees, advertising business unit registration fees, and accounting qualification certificate fees.
The "Notice" requires that all regions and relevant departments should conscientiously implement the announced cancellation and stop charging items, and should not delay or refuse to implement them for any reason, nor should they continue to charge fees in disguise by changing to operating service fees. The person in charge of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Finance said that the cancelled and suspended administrative fees involved education, employment, talent flow, professional qualifications, engineering construction, foreign trade export, pharmaceutical production, poultry breeding, agricultural production and other fields, and the total amount of relief was about 654.38+09 billion yuan. Since September, 2008, the collection of management fees for the trade market and individual industrial and commercial households has stopped about 1 700 million yuan, and the measures taken by the state to reduce fees can directly reduce the burden on enterprises and society by about 36 billion yuan. There is still room for tax reduction of 654.38+044 billion yuan in the future. The person in charge of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Finance said that the cancellation and cessation of the collection of 654.38+000 administrative fees is mainly to implement the current central government's decision-making arrangements on expanding domestic demand and promoting steady and rapid economic growth, effectively play the role of active fiscal policy, and further reduce the burden on enterprises and society by implementing powerful fee reduction measures.
Give play to the same expansion effect as the tax reduction policy, promote enterprises to increase investment and household consumption, and expand domestic demand. He also said that local people's governments and their financial departments will also comprehensively clean up the administrative fees introduced in the region to further reduce the burden on enterprises and society.
On June 5th, 2008, the executive meeting of the State Council +065438+ identified a proactive fiscal policy as a new idea for future regulation. Since then, Wang Jun, Vice Minister of Finance, said that in order to effectively play the role of proactive fiscal policy, the state will reduce taxes and fees by more than 300 billion yuan in 2009. According to Dong Xian 'an, a senior macro analyst of Southwest Securities, after the full implementation of the VAT reform in 2009, the fiscal revenue will be reduced by more than 654.38+02 billion yuan, and with the fee reduction measures of about 36 billion yuan, the central government still has room for tax reduction of about 654.38+04.4 billion yuan. Dong Xian 'an believes that the efficiency of capital-intensive and highly concentrated central investment in stimulating employment is average after all. In this way, the focus of regulation will shift to creating better conditions to promote the recovery of enterprise investment, with the focus on reducing taxes and fees to restore enterprise profits and residents' income growth. It is expected that the above reform ideas will be further emphasized in the future. According to reports, the National Development and Reform Commission announced that the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance have decided to cancel or stop levying 1 00 administrative fees such as urban house demolition management fees, temporary residence permit (card) fees and new resource food application review fees from1in 2009, so as to promote the reform of administrative fees, promote administration according to law, effectively reduce the burden on enterprises and society, and maintain steady and rapid economic development. It should be said that it is a great pleasure to cancel or stop 100 administrative fees. It is of great practical significance to think about this measure under the current background. First, in the face of the financial crisis, some small and medium-sized enterprises are suffering from the pain of development and even facing the test of life and death. Cancel some administrative fees, so that they can go into battle lightly; Second, some administrative fees have made people complain. Abolishing these fees can not only rebuild the credibility of the administrative department, but also benefit the people and make them more calm in coping with the pressure of life. At the same time, cleaning up and standardizing administrative fees is the government's power consciousness, and it is also the construction of a service government and a responsible government.
Wang Jun, Vice Minister of Finance
Both a government ruled by law and a clean government are necessary, because some departments rely on unreasonable administrative fees, which breeds a lot of corruption and gives people the illusion of spending money on services.
Prior to this, Shanghai, Hebei and other places have cleared up some unreasonable administrative fees. For example, on June 4, 2008, the Shanghai Municipal Government decided to cancel and stop collecting 148 administrative fees, involving 30 government departments and involving nearly 2 billion yuan. Thus, it involves a question: How many administrative fees are there in China at present? According to the figures released by the National Development and Reform Commission, in 2005 alone, the total amount of administrative fees in China was as high as more than 400 billion yuan, and the total amount of funds collected was more than 200 billion yuan, about 500 yuan. It can also be seen that cleaning up administrative fees has a long way to go. At present, there are too many administrative fees, whether it is 148 administrative fees cancelled or stopped in Shanghai or 100 items cancelled or stopped by the National Development and Reform Commission. How many administrative fees are still to be cancelled? How to clean up administrative fees?
Some administrative fees are obviously unreasonable, unreasonable and illegal. Cao Changqing, director of the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the phenomenon of ultra vires project establishment, unlicensed charging, undisclosed charging, unauthorized expansion of charging scope, unauthorized increase of charging standards, hitchhiking charging, hitchhiking charging, and charging without service is widespread. The catalogue of administrative fees of the whole country and central departments and units published by the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission in 2006 shows that only 60 of the 3 14 fees have legal basis. According to another data, as of July 2007, there were about 7,600 legal documents concerning administrative fees in China, of which more than 7 100 were all departmental and local normative documents commonly known as "red-headed documents". Obviously, to clean up unreasonable administrative charges, we can't rely solely on power consciousness or top-down administrative orders. We can only put the law in place and speed up the formulation of the administrative fees law. However, as early as 1999, the National People's Congress was planning to draft an administrative fees law. After so many years, the administrative charging law has not yet been born. The reason is that there are too many departments involved, the problems to be solved are too complicated and the resistance is too great. After all, no one wants to give up their right to charge. In any case, unreasonable administrative charges can no longer exist. Only when the resistance is great, the need for reform is even greater; Only when it is closely related to the interests of the people, it needs a sense of urgency. The National Development and Reform Commission cancelled the administrative fees 100, and all similar fees in local departments were cancelled.
The Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance have decided to cancel or stop levying 1 00 items of administrative fees, such as urban house demolition management fees, temporary residence permit (card) fees and new resource food application review fees, from June 5438+ 10/2009, so as to promote the reform of administrative fees and effectively reduce the burden on enterprises and society. According to the Development and Reform Commission, the fees for cancellation or suspension are mainly administrative fees such as certificate fees, registration fees and examination fees, involving 30 departments. The two departments require that after the above fees are cancelled or stopped, the funds needed for the relevant departments and units to perform administrative functions or issue licenses according to law shall be guaranteed by the fiscal budget at the same level. Charges similar to those announced to cancel and stop collection issued by various regions and departments shall be cancelled. In view of the latest Guiding Opinions on Promoting Entrepreneurship to Drive Employment, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently made a detailed interpretation of this policy. According to reports, entrepreneurship can enjoy many conveniences in terms of capital, training and services. The Opinions allow the registered capital of entrepreneurs to be put in place by stages, and allow family houses, rented houses and temporary commercial houses. Used as a place of business. At the same time, formulate preferential government procurement policies to promote the development of small enterprises, and speed up the clearing and elimination of various industries, regions and business barriers that hinder entrepreneurship. Appropriately relax the market access conditions for college graduates, unemployed people and returning migrant workers to start businesses. The "Opinions" call for the full implementation of the charging publicity system and the enterprise payment registration card system, and prohibit any department from charging fees, levies, fines, inspections and trainings. At the same time, simplify the examination and approval procedures and open up a "green channel" for entrepreneurship. Registered unemployed, disabled, retired soldiers and ordinary college graduates who are engaged in self-employment within 2 years of graduation will be exempted from relevant administrative fees such as management, registration and license within 3 years.
Unemployed people and fresh graduates will be exempted from administrative fees within three years of starting their own businesses. The Guiding Opinions of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and Other Departments on Promoting Entrepreneurship and Employment forwarded by the General Office of the State Council pointed out that registered unemployed people, disabled people, retired soldiers and ordinary college graduates within two years after graduation will be exempted from administrative fees such as management fees, registration fees and licenses within three years from the date of first registration in the industrial and commercial departments according to relevant regulations. The Guiding Opinions proposes to improve administrative management. We will fully implement the charging publicity system and the enterprise payment registration card system, and prohibit any department, unit or individual from interfering with the normal operation of start-up enterprises, and prohibit arbitrary charges, levies, fines, inspections and trainings. Further clean up and standardize the administrative examination and approval matters involving entrepreneurship, simplify the procedures for project initiation, approval and accreditation, publish various administrative examination and approval, approval and filing matters and service guides, implement joint examination and approval, one-stop service, time-limited completion and commitment service, and open up a "green channel" for entrepreneurship. The Guiding Opinions require that the legitimate private property of entrepreneurs should be protected according to law, and relevant departments should investigate and deal with illegal acts that seriously infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of entrepreneurs or the entities they founded.
