Tax Burden Of Small And Micro Enterprises In Zhejiang Is Too Hard To Survive

Reporters in the near future

In the second half of last year, the state promulgated a series of policies to support the development of small and micro enterprises to reduce the tax burden, and won the applause of the business community. However, the small and micro enterprises actually felt the policy effect was very limited, which generally reflected "thunder, heavy rain and little".

Under the current situation, the tax burden of small and micro enterprises is still a prominent problem.

The tax burden of small and micro enterprises is too heavy.

In October 12th last year, the State Council promulgated "support for small and micro enterprises".

After that, Zhejiang's local policies also responded positively.

For example, the Finance Department of Zhejiang province has promulgated and implemented 32 administrative charges for small and micro enterprises since January 1st this year, and the three year exemption policy.

These tax waiver support policies have played a certain effect and have won a good response from enterprises.

Nevertheless, the "high tax burden" status of small and micro enterprises has not changed fundamentally. The heavy burden of taxes and fees is still an important reason for small and micro enterprises' small profits, difficulties in survival and ineffective pformation.

The problem of various tax items still exists.

At present, there are 19 tax categories in China. The tax categories and tax rates involved by different enterprises vary according to their industry, scope of operation, mode of operation and scale.

There are all kinds of expenses in the operation of the enterprise: the annual fee for industrial and commercial inspection is charged, the Technical Supervision Bureau checks the cost, the environmental sanitation charges, the police station has to charge for joint defense, and the charge is not low.

According to an economic personage, there are more than 20 departments in charge of all kinds of administrative charges, and there are more than 60 fees.

What's more, because some enterprises fail to pay taxes due to the closure of their businesses, the tax authorities have passed the tax to the enterprises that can still make profits in order to complete the tax collection task, thus causing the enterprises to be overburdened.

This is a detailed account of a textile enterprise in Shaoxing County: a quotation of 75 yuan.

The cost of fabric and accessories is 50 yuan and processing cost is 25 yuan.

In the 25 yuan processing fee, it is necessary to pay 3.63 yuan for the national tax, 0.44 yuan for the local education surcharge, 0.02 yuan for the water conservancy fund, 2.77 yuan for social security, 6.86 yuan for the total tax and fees, so that the actual tax burden is 27.44%.

Shao Jun, general manager of Hangzhou eight Pakistan and Zhejiang restaurant chain, who has 400 employees, said that 9 years ago, the quota tax of the self-employed restaurant industry was 9.2%, which was 7.2% in the first half of last year. Now it is 6.6%. It should be said that the tax reduction is effective. However, according to the situation of high investment, low output and thin profit, the actual tax reduction is not big. Last year, the light tax was paid 2 million, and the profit was only about 10%.

Because of the high cost and heavy tax burden, corporate profits have been declining for the past three years. The year before last was basically the same as last year. The second half of last year began to show a downward trend. The decline in late March of this year is very obvious.

According to the latest special investigation conducted by the Zhejiang Federation of industry and commerce, 23.3% of enterprises felt the tax burden increased significantly, accounting for 50% of the enterprises with heavier taxes, accounting for 16.7% of the total, that is, more than 70% of the enterprises thought the tax burden was heavier.

The survey results show that, on the one hand, the tax burden of small and micro enterprises is still very heavy. On the other hand, although governments at all levels have introduced many policies to lighten the burden on small and micro enterprises, the actual effect is not satisfactory.

The phenomenon of "overdue tax" appears.

With the gradual loss of land financial capacity in some places, taxes and fines imposed on enterprises have been intensified to open up new sources of finance.

Cai Hua, vice president of Zhejiang Merchants Investment Research Association, said that the current situation is that enterprises do not have profits, but the tax bureau's handling and taxation efforts are stronger than before.

Since the beginning of this year, the growth of Zhejiang's fiscal revenue has obviously slowed down, and the pressure of expenditure has been increasing.

In the first half of this year, the province's local fiscal revenue increased by 4.4%, down 2.7 percentage points from the first quarter, and has dropped for 11 consecutive months.

Some of the main categories of taxes slowed down, and real estate taxes fell by 25.9%.

The fiscal revenue of 14 counties (cities) increased negatively.

At the same time, rigid fiscal expenditure has increased continuously. In the first half of this year, the provincial fiscal expenditure increased by 10.8%, which is 6.4 percentage points higher than the local fiscal revenue growth.

In an interview, the reporter learned that at the next stage, Zhejiang needs more financial expenditure to implement a series of policies and measures for steady growth, structural adjustment and benefit to the people's livelihood.

In order to increase revenue, some enterprises have begun to levy taxes on the enterprises.

Meng Ping, Secretary General of Hangzhou Hangzhou women's wear trade association, said that the tax burden is not decreasing but increasing.

This year, Hangzhou's fiscal revenue is relatively poor. The district head of our district meets the Commissioner of Taxation three or five times, so the pressure is spread to the head of the enterprise.

For example, the tax increase is not enough this year. In order to get a good figure, some tax revenue next year will be brought in "advance".

Reporters learned that Meng Ping's textile and clothing information and business center business income is about about 60000000 yuan a year, at present, the company's Bank loan interest is about 50000000 yuan per year, the operation is actually in a state of loss, but the local finance bureau of Jianggan District, Hangzhou, in order to complete the tax task, not only requires the company to pay 9 million 600 thousand yuan fixed business tax this year, but also 9 million 600 thousand yuan next year.

"When a leader of the Finance Bureau came to collect the overtax, he said to me," brother help, "what do you say I can do?" Meng Ping told reporters.

"Now it's very bad to collect taxes repeatedly."

He Qihao, general manager of Hangzhou Huahong Industrial and Trading Company, said that their enterprises have just bought an office building, and the enterprises themselves are operating. The property tax and deed tax have been paid. Various business taxes have been handed over in the operation, but the business tax on the value of the house itself is 12%, which is obviously repeated tax payment.
