But what surprised Fan Wuxi. It was Fan Heng and Boss Zhu who didn't mention anything about the tax loophole from beginning to end when they were eating, and it wasn't until after eating that Boss Zhu said hello to Fan Wuxi, "How about receiving a group of friends from the business community in the evening, how about coming over to accompany me without illness?" โ
Fan Wuxian was surprised, and when he was about to push it off, Fan Heng agreed for him, "Of course there is no problem." โ
There is something strange in this, Fan Wuxian intuitively felt that there was some tacit understanding between his father Fan Heng and Boss Zhu, so he didn't ask much, just asked, "How late is the night?" I'm afraid I'll be sleepy and lose my energyโ"
"It's not going to be late, it's done before half past ten." Boss Zhu said.
"That's fine." Fan Wuxian nodded, if he wanted to say that he went to bed before half past ten, it is estimated that no one would believe it.
At his age, as long as his wife doesn't watch too closely, there are too many things at home, who doesn't have a little socializing at night, and besides, he is in this status, how can it be that kind of bird has nothing to do during the day. Someone whose birds are okay at night?
After everyone cleaned up and left, Fan Wuxian got into Boss Zhu's car and asked the driver to drive his own car and walk slowly behind.
"How's your company doing?" Boss Zhu asked casually.
Boss Zhu and Fan Wuxian sat in the back seat, his female secretary sat in the front passenger seat, and the driver was a middle-aged man in his forties.
"It's okay, the stall is too big, and it's hard for me to take care of all aspects, anyway, I have the executives of the headquarters staring at me, unless something unusual happens, I will pay attention to it, and I don't usually worry about it." Fan replied.
Fan Wuxian is indeed telling the truth, some of the things he has been busy with recently are just to go around and see what development bottlenecks everyone has, to see if he can help, or to understand the development of various enterprises and support them in the financial problems that need to be solved.
But on the whole, the enterprises under Fan's Investment Group are developing well, that is, only a few new enterprises such as Southeast Heavy Industry Group, etc., need a lot of financial support, or Jiangshan Port and Hengshan Port and other ports under construction need a lot of financial support, and others, there is really no place to spend money, but there are a lot of cash cows.
Integrate the income of Fan's Investment Group's major enterprises in China. It is enough to support the current large aircraft project and the operation of several large projects such as ports and Southeast Heavy Industry, which also shows that Fan's investment group in China has gotten rid of the net investment state in the early stage of construction, but has entered a period of rapid development.
Otherwise, with the large aircraft project and several other port projects, coupled with the construction costs of Southeast Heavy Industry, the first private military industrial enterprise in China, the annual investment is at least tens of billions of yuan, and the net investment lasts for several years, how can an ordinary consortium afford it?
However, it is surprising that Fan's Investment Group is now only relying on domestic revenue.
Soon, Boss Zhu's car heard the outside of the Great Hall, and then someone came to greet him, all the way into a richly decorated hall inside, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the lights in the hall were like daylight, which made Fan Wuxi feel very dazzling, and the power in the heart of the capital was really abundant.
There were still several leaders of relevant departments waiting here, and when they saw Fan Wuxi appear, they immediately burst into warm applause, and Fan Wuxi followed closely behind Boss Zhu and walked in. I found that there were hundreds of friends from the business community waiting to meet here, and they had already stood in formation, probably to take a group photo first.
So under the guidance of the staff, Fan Wuxian followed Boss Zhu all the way, stopped in the middle of the crowd, then sat down, put on a standard posture, and then the cameraman held the camera and swept it with a panoramic lens, and came twice in a row before it was completed.
At this time, I saw the flash lights of the surrounding media lighting up, even Fan Wuxi, who was used to seeing big scenes, felt a little uncomfortable, because although he was a big man, he had always lived in a simple place, and he was not willing to get involved in the trouble in these media.
However, Fan Wuxian also noticed that among these friends in the business world, there were many people who had seen him, and when he saw that he was following closely behind Boss Zhu, and even in front of several deputy ministers behind him, everyone's demeanor looked very surprised, obviously thinking that this was an incredible thing.
After all, no matter how rich and powerful Fan Wuxian is, that is, a businessman, how can he be above the identity of an official?
This is a thing that people can't figure out, and after Boss Zhu said a few words to everyone, he announced another news, that is, the government departments will crack down on tax evasion and tax evasion in the near future. He also pointed out the harmfulness of tax evasion, the seriousness of the damage to the interests of the people of the country, and the consistent response of all countries in the world to tax evasion, and then reaffirmed the determination to crack down on this illegal act.
After that, it's time for everyone to have a drinking party.
Boss Zhu's speech made everyone's hearts feel a little unusual, it stands to reason that this is just an ordinary dinner party for receiving friends from the business community at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, there is no reason to publish such an abrupt news, and judging from Boss Zhu's expression, it is not a joke at all.
Judging from the sudden change from strictly controlling tax evasion to severely cracking down on tax evasion, everyone thinks that this time the wind direction of the central government may have changed again, and the focus of tax collection work has begun to shift.
As a matter of fact, with regard to the reform of the tax-sharing system, from the present point of view, the central government's finances have indeed been greatly improved, and it can also cope with many large-scale infrastructure constructions, and the central government has the money to handle many things in a coordinated manner, and it is no longer constrained by the localities, which is a good thing.
However, there are many problems encountered in the actual operation of the current tax-sharing system.
Looking back now, the reform of the tax-sharing system carried out in 1994 is more like a half-pulled project.
At that time, it was only clear that the financial power or tax revenue sharing ratio between the central government and the provinces was not clearly defined. There is a mismatch between administrative power and financial power, and China's unified vertical administrative system makes it easy for the higher level of government to shift a lot of power and responsibility for spending to the lower level of government. So last year, a lot of academic articles were about the financial bankruptcy of local governments.
Local governments and their departments have also engaged in a lot of non-standard charging projects, engaged in the so-called national income generation, as a result of which has brought a large number of problems of government and enterprise separation, and later the local government found the outlet of land finance. Beginning in 1997, China started housing credit, and in 1998, when it carried out the reform of the housing welfare system, the local government suddenly saw a cash flow, that is, the land could be sold for money.
The first was Dalian. Qingdao and other urban operation plans, as well as Shanghai's Pudong cross-strait and one-river plan, have since been quickly copied across the country, but now it is difficult to sustain this model of eating only food, which makes many people have to look back and review the tax reform of the year.
The name of the tax-sharing system is good, and everyone originally thought that it was fiscal decentralization and integration with foreign countries, but the actual result was fiscal centralization. At that time, the goal was also to increase the proportion of fiscal revenue in GDP and to increase the proportion of central finance in total fiscal revenue.
The main focus of the reform is to enhance the central government's macroeconomic regulation and control capabilities, clarify the relationship between the distribution of financial resources between the central and local governments, unify the classification of taxes into central taxes, local taxes, and central and local shared taxes, and set up separate central and local taxation bureaus, so as to establish a fiscal management system under the tax-sharing system between the central and local governments, which is the origin of the name of the fiscal management system under the tax-sharing system.
According to the requirements of the State Council, local governments at all levels at that time basically referred to the practice of the central government in the local system and concentrated tax revenues from the localities. Such a top-down reform of the fiscal management system of the tax-sharing system has provided an institutionalized way for the higher-level government to concentrate the fiscal revenue of the lower-level government.
In other words, this kind of thinking of upward concentration of financial power is not only at the level of the central government, but also at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, forming the logic of concentrating funds from lower-level governments. As a result, the power to provide public goods and services has been continuously shifted downward, while the financial power has been continuously collected, and the financial power and administrative power of the county and township governments have been increasingly deviated, which has aggravated their financial difficulties to a great extent.
In fact, the reason why the reform of the tax-sharing system was carried out at that time was to a large extent because the fiscal contracting system introduced in the 80s reduced the central government's ability to extract money.
In the game between the central government and the local government, the central government is getting more and more moneyless, but the local government is getting richer and richer, and the negotiation power of the local government and the central government in the Pearl River Delta and other places is increasing, and under this unified administrative system structure, the most worrying thing is the princely economy, so the central decision-makers at that time were in a hurry, how to go on like this?
At that time, local governments collected taxes, but the central government did not collect taxes independently, and according to the lump sum system, the local governments deducted what was handed over to the central government, and the rest belonged to themselves.
Under this institutional arrangement, local governments can collect less taxes and charge more. Because the fees charged are local. In some places, companies are even allowed to undertake the construction of public infrastructure, such as the roads in front of their own doors, which are repaired by the enterprises themselves, and the government allows enterprises to pay less taxes.
There are no pop-ups
