According to the notice issued by the Treasury, to actively expand imports, meet the demand of domestic economic and social development and consumption, since January 1, 2012, China's import and export tariffs for some adjustment, will be low for more than 730 kinds of commodities import temporary tariff rate, the average rate is 4.4%, lower than the MFN rates above 50%. A widespread belief that China, the expansion of import tax cuts, help to promote the adjustment of industrial structure, expand consumption.

Before the clear cut part of goods import tariffs, the other a structural tax cuts this year big change, the business tax paid VAT already fall to the ground. Ministry of finance, state administration of taxation and other departments in the first quarter of the latest disclosure situation change increases, according to the Shanghai camp after reform pilot industry overall reduce the tax burden, vigorously promote the development of the service industry.

A tax expert told the economic information daily, a reporter, the current should pay attention to the role of tax cuts and private economic development. In his view, our policy is still too little in tax cuts, strength is not enough. Enterprise income tax, for one, before a few years of the foreign investment enterprises and domestic enterprises in our corporate income tax, tax rates to 25%, but it has to do with Singapore, Russia, Britain, the United States and other countries, compared to China's corporate income tax rate is still not low. Facing the global economic recession, enterprises especially for private enterprises in difficulties, there should be more measures to reduce the corporate tax, this to stimulate economic growth, employment and long-term economic development.

In fact, the central economic work conference has clearly the focus of the active fiscal policy is a structural tax cuts this year, the Chinese academy of social sciences financial strategy of the institute for Gao Peiyong after an interview with the economic information daily, proposed that should hold two structural tax cuts, one is "don't go against the trend", the second is must have quantity limit. The so-called "don't go against the trend" is to optimize tax structure rather than tax structure. Tax structure imbalance is mainly manifested in two aspects, on the one hand, is a high proportion of indirect taxes, low proportion of direct tax, on the other hand is the proportion of tax is high, the natural person enterprise tax proportion is low, so the direction of the reform is to reduce the indirect tax increase direct tax, reduce enterprise pay taxes, increase individual pay taxes, "you must be aware of the process of structural tax cuts so that direction, 'do not go against the trend". Moreover, should have quantity limit, cannot follow, down to where is where, must have an overall planning and layout, such as explicit structural tax cuts this year after set-off increase or decrease the net effect of scale and so on.
