財政部部長談企業稅負 營改增減負5700多億元

China will continue to improve the value-added-tax (VAT) system to better help reduce tax burden of enterprises, Finance Minister Xiao Jie said last Tuesday.

財政部部長肖捷上週二表示，我國將繼續完善營改增體制，更好地幫助企業減輕稅收負擔。

The VAT reform has resulted in companies making total tax savings of 570 billion yuan last year, Xiao said at a press conference for the Fifth Session of the 12th National People's Congress.

肖捷在十二屆全國人大五次會議的記者會上表示，去年，營改增共減輕企業稅負5700億元。

China will implement tax preferential policies to shore up development of small and micro-sized enterprises, Xiao added.

肖捷還表示，我國將實施稅收優惠政策，支持小微企業發展。

Enterprises with annual taxable income lower than 500,000 yuan are eligible to have their taxes cut in half, said Xiao.

凡是年應納稅所得額在50萬元以下的企業，都可以享受所得稅減半徵收的優惠。

Prior to this year, only enterprises with annual taxable income lower than 300,000 yuan were eligible for the tax cut policy.

在今年之前，只有年應納稅所得額在30萬元以下的企業才能享受這項減稅政策。

"New tax break policies to be introduced this year are expected to further reduce some 350 billion yuan of tax compared to last year," according to Xiao.

肖捷說道：“今年新實施的減稅政策預計將在去年的基礎上進一步減負3500億元左右。”

With an expected smaller amount of tax collected from enterprises, the government at all levels should cut expenditures, Xiao added.

他還表示，爲了實現從企業徵取比預期更低數額的稅收這一目標，各級政府都應當削減支出。
