Chapter 45 The Knife of Tax Reform

Due to the instructions of Yan Zhongxian, the secretary of the provincial party committee, and Shen Ruihong, the deputy secretary and executive vice governor, Chen Songwei's case appeared at the end of April, but it was not only the frame of such a thing, but also shocked the whole country. A special case.

The task force led by Kong Qingliang, who has been in Dongling City, finally found a breakthrough from some clues of the Building Materials Bureau. Therefore, in just half a month, a fraud group led by Chen Songwei, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, assisted by the Taxation Bureau and directly assisted by the Building Materials Bureau, slowly appeared in their vision.

The preliminary evidence found by the task force shows that in the two years when Chen Songwei was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, their tax fraud group used false documents issued by the Taxation Bureau and the notes signed by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee to defraud tax from the state for a total amount of more than 30 million. Moreover, this is only the tip of the exposed iceberg. It is unknown how much shadow is hidden under the iceberg that the task force has not found.

However, the exposed tip of the iceberg is enough to shock the whole country and the central boss. It is said that someone above has already slapped the table angrily about this matter, and the phone is hung up directly to the province for accountability.

At this time, under the influence of Chen Songwei's case, another thing began to be in full swing.

In 1993, the state's matter about the separation of national tax and local tax had been put on the agenda at the National People's Congress.

The central government has also been having a heated discussion on this matter. The overall minute hand has been decided to be implemented, and some of the projects have entered the formulation stage. It seems that the pilot will be implemented in a certain city this year.

But on this eve, there was such a big tax fraud case in Dongling City. Let's not talk about the size of the amount. The key is that the city's municipal party secretary is manipulating behind the scenes. Coupled with the previous frame-up case, the sensation and impact caused by the case is so great that it has almost attracted the attention of more than half of the country. The impact of this incident on Dongling City, Liaohai Province and even China is bad enough.

Some foreign media with a keen sense of smell have reported on the whole matter. Several high-level officials who visited the United States were asked about this matter in public by reporters, which made it very face-making. No wonder there were bigwigs patting the table.

It is difficult to cover the lid if it has been lifted. The basket is too big. The amount of this case is so large that it has a bad impact, which is the first case since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The people of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have directly intervened in the case, and some people at the upper level have personally made instructions. For example, Vice Premier Zhu Yanshan directly hung up the phone to Yan Zhongxian, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Now Liaohai Province can't cover the lid, so he can only investigate hard, hoping that no big things will happen.

As the case gets worse and deeper, more and more people are involved in the case. In Dongling City, in addition to Chen Songwei, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Yin Kuangyu, Director of the Tax Bureau, more than half of the officials of the Tax Bureau are involved in corruption and are directly involved in the process of issuing false bills for tax fraud. There are not many people involved in the case of the Building Materials Bureau. If it is the main leader of the Building Materials Bureau led by Lei Dafu.

Of course, this is only the people involved in Dongling City. There are also people involved in the case in the province. At present, a tax bureau has been identified.

In addition to these officials, the main body involved in tax fraud is a series of leather bag companies. These companies were initially run by Luo Chuanji, a farmer. Later, there were more relatives and friends of the officials involved in the case, similar to Chen Songwei's wife and brother, etc. They all participated in it and formed a huge tax fraud network.

These leather bag companies are most affiliated to the name of the Municipal Building Materials Bureau. Some are registered in Dongling City, some are registered in Shenzhen and other places, and then rely on false documents issued by the Building Materials Bureau and the Tax Bureau to carry out tax fraud. The owners of these leather bag companies got half of the stolen money from tax fraud, and the remaining half were intercepted by the Building Materials Bureau, and then divided by Chen Songwei and others behind the scenes.

As for their methods of tax fraud, it is neither simple nor complicated. Specifically, it should start with export tax rebates.

The tax refund for export products is an important domestic policy to allow non-tax products to enter the international market in accordance with international practice to enhance their competitiveness.

Specifically, in 1985, the State Council issued a policy and issued the Notice on the Approval and Transfer of the Ministry of Finance's "Regulations on the Collection, Refund of Product Tax or Value-added Tax on Import and Export Products", which stipulates that the tax refund policy for export products will be implemented from April 1, 1985.

Its specific meaning is how much tax is levied on the product in all aspects of the country, and how much tax is refunded by the state after the product is exported.

This policy actually has great loopholes. Because tax collection is levied by local governments and tax refunds is a national refund, some smart lawbreakers take advantage of the inconsistency between the subject of tax collection and tax refund and inconsistent locations to carry out tax fraud by forging vouchers and fake documents.

In fact, since 1985, due to imperfect supervision and other reasons, domestic tax fraud cases have been repeatedly banned, and several cases occur almost every year. However, the amount has never been as large as Dongling City, the tax fraud network is so huge, and the people involved are the municipal party secretary and the tax bureau. Collusion with others has never had such a bad impact.

The most critical thing is that the domestic debate about the tax reform to be carried out in 1994 is still fierce at the upper level.

For the implementation of the tax-sharing system, the local interests are inconsistent with those of the central government, and the caliber cannot be unified. Such an approach is undoubtedly unfavorable to local governments. The financial power is taken over to the state, and the local voice is much weaker.

Because of the disagreement of interests, local interest groups naturally have to play games with the central government. At this moment, the dispute between the two factions is inexorable, and the opponents and supporters are on their own. Scholars of the Academy of Social Sciences have begun several wars of words, and some mainstream economists in China have also made "own" remarks with the support of their supporters.

At this time, such a bad thing broke out in Dongling City, which suddenly pushed them to the forefront of the storm and became the target of attacks by all parties.

Tang Yu heard his father talk about this matter at Su Murou's house the night he came back from Chen Yi's house. At that time, Tang Yu was also at Su Murou's house. At that time, he said, "This time, our Dongling City is in the limelight. I don't know if the saliva of those experts from the Academy of Social Sciences will annihilate the provincial party committee. . "

Su Muru patted Tang Yu on the head, "You boy, your speech is getting worse and worse, and your tone is getting bigger and bigger. Don't you pay attention to me and me when you know Deputy Secretary Shen?" He laughed as he said.

Tang Yu rubbed his head and said, "I dare not take Uncle Su out of my eyes. As for my father, ask him, how many English books in his study can he understand?"

"Why is it still called Uncle Su? I will change my mouth in a few days. It's better to get used to it now." Tang Tianhong choked Tang Yu with dissatisfaction, "Do you arrange your own son like this?"

The matter of Tang Yu and Su Muru's marriage is set a few days later. Although the news is not very widespread, almost all the people in Dongling City know about it. They secretly envy the bad luck of the Tang family. They can recognize the mayor as their godfather. There are also many people who talk about Tang Tianhong's words behind his back. Fortunately, he doesn't care much about this. Something. Now let's talk about this, let Tang Yu change his words now.

Su Murou smiled twice, "It's okay to do everything. Don't Xiao Yu and I still have to pay attention to these virtual things?" After a pause, he looked at Tang Yu and said, "Listen to your tone just now, it seems that you have any opinion on this case in our Dongling City."

Tang Yu smiled shyly and suddenly asked him to change his name to Su Muru's "Dad" or "Dad" or something. He was really not used to it, especially when his own son was still here. It felt strange. Hearing Su Muru smile and asked about Chen Songwei, he quickly said, "Now this is not only a matter at the level of Dongling City, nor at the level of Liaohai Province, but rising to the national level. This is not just a matter of bad impact, but a big game. I also heard a few words from Uncle Shen and told it to you. Whether Shen Ruihong has said this or not, naturally, only Tang Yu himself knows it in his heart.

Su Muru said curiously, "Oh? What do you say? Your recent political knowledge has really risen. You and I are going to follow behind. Just tell us what Deputy Secretary Shen has in mind and instructions.

Tang Yu quickly smiled shyly, "I'm all hearsay. Just listen to it."

"Dad, you read the newspapers these days. They are all the words of the so-called experts of the Academy of Social Sciences. The state is now discussing the tax-sharing system of national tax and local tax. The local government and the central government have their own interest positions. Although it has been decided that it is imperative, the local government hopes to gain more autonomy. The central government hopes to recover more financial power and hopes that the other party can make concessions. Now both sides are playing a game. However, as soon as the tax fraud case in Dongling City came out, the local voice immediately weakened, and it has almost calmed down in recent days.

"The key to the occurrence of tax fraud is the weak local supervision, and the improvement of the new tax system is obviously conducive to the supervision of these tax evas. In my opinion, Chen Songwei and others are very likely to promote the reform of the central government's tax-sharing system and make the country determined to implement the tax-sharing system. Moreover, such a bad thing happened in our Dongling City, which is enough for the central government to block the mouth of the place. In fact, to put it bluntly, similar to this kind of tax fraud case, there are different degrees of phenomena in almost all parts of the country. The key is that the amount involved in our Dongling City is too large, and the number of people involved is too high, which pushes us to the forefront of the storm.

paused, "The central government can use this matter to block different voices in the local government. If the central government makes up its mind to speak out of opposition again, the central government may be able to thoroughly investigate the national tax bureau from this. If the country really wants to investigate this kind of problem, I don't know how many Li Songwei and Wang Songwei are going to fall. All, this case is expected to become a pawn in the game between the country and the local government, which is likely to serve as an excuse for the central government to promote the reform of the tax-sharing system.

Hearing Tang Yu's connection between the Chen Songwei case and the reform of the national tax system, and what he said was true, Su Murou and Tang Tianhong couldn't help but meditate. Of course, the key is that Shen Ruihong is mentioned in Tang Yu's words, so we have to pay attention to it.

Tang Yu hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot again. "In fact, at this time, Uncle Su can publish an article on his own position, starting from the national tax system, listing the loopholes of the current tax system one by one, and then putting forward some suggestions and opinions on the tax-sharing system. If you can post the article to the internal reference, let the central The boss didn't know how happy he would be when he saw it. Moreover, this matter belongs to the position of Uncle Su's most opinion, and his influence is much greater than others. At present, although the article of the Academy of Social Sciences does not name the matter of Dongling City, there are also many innuendos. This is mainly due to the government's control over the media, but you don't have this restriction on Uncle Su.

After saying these, Tang Yu will not go on. These are enough for Su Muru to think.

In fact, it is indeed Su Murou's most opinion on this matter. At this moment, I don't know how many eyes are staring at Liaohai Province and Dongling City. If others express such an opinion, regardless of his position, it is not known how much water can be aroused in this big game between the local and the central government, and it is also very likely to cause local rebound and suppression.

However, if Su Muruo expressed his opinion, it would be different. His position was different from others. He was a direct victim of Chen Songwei's case and was almost imprisoned for it. Naturally, he would have a deeper understanding of this kind of thing, and his position could be innately gained the sympathy of others. In a word, Su Murou is the most appropriate to write this article. Maybe it is impossible to say which central tycoon he has entered, but it is certain that he can win the favor of the central government.

In Tang Yu's memory, in the fierce debate on tax reform in his previous life in 1993, the game between the local government and the central government ended until the end of the year. The final result was that the two sides had their own compromises and began to implement it in 1994. However, due to his own reasons, the exposure of Chen Songwei's huge tax fraud group is likely to promote this game, and it may make the central government stronger in the game.

In Tang Yu's memory, the specific implementation of the tax reform in the previous life was also carried out under the great force of Vice Premier Zhu Yanshan. Since July 1, 1994, the national tax and local tax has been officially separated, and the tax bureau has been divided into two in just three months. The result of the game is that the IRS collects the main taxes (such as value-added tax, etc.) The income was mainly handed over to the central government, and the national tax personnel were paid to the central government's financial expenses. At that time, the local tax bureau mainly collected small taxes and enterprise income tax, and the income was mainly paid to the local government.

As for the reform of the export tax rebate system, it has been implemented since January 1, 1994, and the export tax rebate management system has been reformed. Of course, there are still great loopholes.

Tang Yu hopes that the case in Dongling City can also arouse the vigilance of the upper-level regulator of the tax system and prevent such cases from happening when promoting the reform of the tax-sharing system.

Of course, these can be put forward by Su Muru's articles published on internal reference. If you enter the eyes of a certain boss, there is hope.

This is probably Su Murukou's knife for the country's tax reform. The central government is naturally obedient with this knife.
