In 2007, China's total tax revenue was 4,944.9 billion yuan, and its GDP was 24 trillion yuan. In addition to collecting taxes, there are various fees. Statistics show that if all taxes and fees are counted, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees collected in the whole year will not be less than 9 trillion yuan, accounting for about 37% of the total GDP. China's macro tax burden has been as high as more than 36%, including fiscal revenue, extra-budgetary income, social security fund, extra-institutional income, debt income, enterprise loss subsidies and so on. The total amount of taxes and fees is not only much higher than the average level of developing countries, but even much higher than that of developed countries. This is the truth of the so-called tax burden pain index that we are facing today!
