Mu Guoxing nodded and did not speak. He was actually not willing to let Zheng Wei go. Zheng Wei was a very competent secretary no matter in terms of knowledge or ability. What was even more rare was that Zheng Wei knew Mu Guoxing very well. Thoughts, sometimes with Mu Guoxing's winks and hints, Zheng Wei will take care of everything and arrange everything. There are many secretaries who can write articles, but there are not many who can do what Zheng Wei does.

According to relevant regulations, if Mu Guoxing enters the core leadership, he must have his own office.He also once thought that Zheng Wei was the most suitable candidate for the first director of his office.However, under normal circumstances, the director of the office must be a cadre at the deputy ministerial level. This person must not only have a lot of knowledge, but also have strong organizational and coordination skills. In addition, he must also have a certain amount of grassroots work experience. Zheng Wei has both , the only thing is that the grassroots work experience is still a bit lacking, so Mu Guoxing came up with the idea of ​​putting Zheng Wei on the basis of training.

Until he got into the car, Mu Guoxing didn't come up with a good solution. Other things are easy to talk about, but the one that doesn't meet the standards for cadres is a troublesome one. It seems that he needs to find time to have a good talk with Zhu Pengfeng. Yes, if the director of his own office can't use it smoothly, it will affect his work.

In the late autumn season in Beijing, the weather is already very cold. The sun shines through the foggy sky with a few rays of sunshine, and the fallen leaves on the ground flutter with a gust of wind. It makes people feel that the power of nature cannot be ignored by anyone. .

Liu Jiazhong had been waiting at the gate of the Beijing Office early on, and saw a big red flag approaching from a distance.What made people feel strange was that the other long guard vehicles were clearing the way in front, while Mu Guoxing's guard vehicle secretly followed far behind.Liu Jiazhong smiled: It seems that the old leader's style of not liking publicity has not changed at all.

VIP 380 Chapter [-] Tax Reform

I haven't been here for a few years, and the Beijing Office of Shunhai Province is getting more and more beautiful now. An annex building was built next to the original building facing the street.

This auxiliary building skillfully integrates ancient and modern architectural styles. The walls inlaid with red marble all show the wealth of Shunhai, an economically developed province.

In the luxurious box, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as extremely luxurious. The mahogany furniture is faintly bright under the light, as if telling people the nobility of status.The thick cashmere carpet makes people feel like walking on the clouds. The calligraphy and paintings of celebrities on the wall add a bit of elegance to this box.

"Strictly speaking, this sub-building does not belong to the industry of the Shunhai Provincial Government, but is funded and constructed by the Anjiang Chamber of Commerce, and it is also managed by them. In recent years, we have also been thinking about a problem, that is, the problem of correctly guiding consumption Now the entrepreneurs in Shunhai have made huge profits investing and building factories in Guangnan, and they have more and more money in their hands. Finding a way for them to spend money is what our provincial party committee and government should consider now. a very important question.

Mu Guoxing nodded: "Yes, the polarization between the rich and the poor is becoming more and more serious now. The rich don't know how to spend their money, while the ordinary people are still busy with three meals a day. , this is indeed a serious problem.”

Mu Guoxing has been thinking about a question over and over for a while, whether to implement tax reform in the near future.The current tax system is basically one size fits all, with a unified threshold. This tax is insignificant for those rich and wealthy, but it is indeed a heavy burden for ordinary people.

For example, in the United States, personal income tax revenue accounts for about 45% of the entire federal tax revenue, and it is the tax that contributes the most to fiscal revenue.Personal income tax is also an important economic adjustment tool, which is responsible for adjusting the gap between rich and poor and stabilizing economic operation. The United States has a strict personal income tax collection and management system. Taxpayers can consciously declare and pay taxes, and tax evasion is rare.The collection rate of personal income tax in the United States has reached about 9%, and it mainly comes from the rich who account for a minority of the population, rather than the ordinary working class who account for the vast majority of the total number of taxpayers.The taxes paid by groups with an annual income of more than 1 US dollars account for more than 6% of the total personal income tax revenue, which is exactly the same as that of our country.

The U.S. government can do this because of its strict legal system and effective regulatory means.According to the U.S. tax law, as long as you are a U.S. citizen or a green card holder, the government will tax your income.The large number of individual income taxpayers in the United States is not because Americans have a strong awareness of paying taxes, but is closely related to the strict personal income monitoring system in the United States.The United States is a country with a very high degree of informatization. The basic information, income and expenditure records and transaction behavior of taxpayers are all recorded in the computer of the bank. The tax authorities can fully and quickly grasp the tax payment through information exchange and centralized data processing. information about people.America's well-established banking system and bank credit system ensure effective supervision of personal income.To open an account in a bank, an individual must present a legal ID card and implement a real-name system.The personal ID number, social security number, and tax code are unified.Therefore, all income items of an individual can be aggregated and inquired through such a number.In the United States, except for sporadic small transactions, other transactions must be transferred through the bank, otherwise it is considered illegal, and the personal income items that are not monitored by the bank are very limited.The tax authorities and banks work together to obtain taxpayer income information from each bank, and through the centralized processing of large-scale computers, the collection and monitoring of various taxable income of taxpayers can be realized.The United States widely implements a strict two-way reporting system. On the one hand, employers who pay personal income must perform tax withholding obligations; on the other hand, taxpayers must declare their annual income by themselves.The withholding system is an important system in the administration of personal income tax in the United States.In principle, the employee's income of all kinds is withheld by the employer.According to US law, withholding is an obligation of the payer of income, which must be effectively fulfilled. If there is no tax withholding, it will bear legal responsibility and corresponding fines, and the tax authority does not pay any remuneration to the withholder.The taxpayer's self-declaration includes two parts: one is the prepayment declaration.All income without withholding agent shall be estimated by the taxpayer and the tax shall be paid in installments. For example, freelancers, taxpayers who obtain income from the transfer of assets, pension income and social security income shall pay tax at the beginning of the tax year. The total income of the year is estimated, and the tax is prepaid in 4 installments based on the estimated amount during the year.

The second is the year-end summary report.At the end of the year, no matter how much the income is, the taxpayer must make a summary declaration within the specified reporting period, fill in all the income in the corresponding tax return form, and report to the taxpayer through various methods such as online declaration, mail declaration, telephone declaration, etc. Agency declaration.When making a year-end summary declaration, the tax withheld by the employer and the tax paid in advance by the employer can be deducted from the tax payable for the whole year, and the over-refund and under-payment will be implemented.Due to the withholding system, after the year-end final settlement, a large number of taxpayers will overpay the tax, and the tax authorities will refund the overpaid part or leave it to be offset in the next period.In order to ensure the authenticity of tax returns and prevent tax evasion, the U.S. tax authorities have established a strict cross-audit system relying on informatization.The U.S. tax authorities first use a powerful computer system to collect taxpayer information collected from banks, customs, health and other departments under the taxpayer's tax code, and then compare it with the taxpayer's self-declared information and the employer's withholding declaration information. Comparison and cross-checking.

The cross-audit is carried out by man-machine combination, and the audit software can realize automatic comparison and report on abnormal situations.There is no problem with the comparison, but it does not mean that the taxpayer's declaration is accurate. The audit software also needs to measure and calculate various data of the taxpayer, and compare it with the set indicators, and further classify and select the declaration form.For abnormal declarations, key audits will be carried out.The audit of personal income tax returns in the United States accounts for about 1-2 of the total number of returns, and high-income earners are more likely to be audited than low-income earners because their declaration items are more complicated and the possibility of tax evasion is greater.

In the United States, the punishment for tax evasion is relatively severe, and the law enforcement is very rigid, which increases the taxpayer's illegal cost.For taxpayers who make wrong declarations, if they are due to calculation errors or changes in tax laws, they are generally not punished, and only taxpayers are required to make corrections; taxpayers who intentionally evade taxes will be severely punished.For cases where the amount of tax evasion is small, it is generally only a fine; for cases where the amount of tax evasion is large, a lawsuit must be filed.Once convicted of tax evasion, tax evaders may be sentenced to prison in addition to paying huge fines that are several times the amount of tax payable.About 5 cases are prosecuted every year in the United States for evading personal income tax, and the tax authorities have a winning rate of about 97%.

In addition to economic penalties and lawsuits, the United States also records tax evasion in personal credit files for inquiries by information stakeholders.The stain on credit will make it difficult for taxpayers to obtain bank loans, obtain employment, and conduct transactions with others.Therefore, the marginal cost of tax evasion for American taxpayers is very high, which objectively and effectively prevents the occurrence of tax evasion.

Mu Guoxing has conducted a detailed study on the tax system of the United States, and believes that there are many places for us to learn from. In order to achieve social fairness, the fairness of distribution is the most important thing. Adjustment by tax levers plays an important role. It is obvious that we still have a long way to go in this regard, and it is very difficult to implement it. In addition to improving the ideological and moral standards of citizens, the soundness of laws and regulations is also the most important. The formulation of an effective set of laws also requires the efforts of several generations.

Now that our country implements this set of strict tax supervision system, is the time ripe?The national conditions of each country are different, and copying the experience of other countries may not be successful.But there is one thing Mu Guoxing can be sure of, that is, the vast majority of ordinary people will definitely agree.

Chapter 380 of VIP adds more burdens (seeking flowers in the fourth watch)

Liu Jiazhong came to Beijing on a special trip this time to report to Mu Guoxing on the real estate rectification work on behalf of the Shunhai Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government.After arriving in the capital in the morning, with an attitude of giving it a try, he called Mu Guoxing and invited him to have dinner, but he didn't expect Mu Guoxing to readily agree.Liu Jiazhong also knew that Mu Guoxing had a heavy burden on his shoulders now, and if he could spare this time, he didn't know how much he had postponed the entertainment.

"Long, the TV station of Shun Hai Province has filmed a feature film about the real estate market. Tomorrow is the time to give you a formal report. We want to take advantage of today's opportunity. Please take a look at this feature film first, so that I have a general understanding of the real estate market in Thuan Hai Province.”

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Oh, your method is very novel."

Seeing that Mu Guoxing didn't object, Liu Jiazhong winked at the service staff next to him, and the picture of the feature film soon appeared on the large LCD screen. It can be seen that Liu Jiazhong had made full preparations in advance. .

The title of the feature film is "Shunhai Real Estate Today".The quality of the feature film is very good, showing the beautiful scenery of Shun Hai, a large economic province, everywhere. The feature film introduces the real estate status of Shun Hai Province from several aspects, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Through this feature film, Mu Guoxing can easily understand the policies and policies adopted by the Shunhai Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government in real estate development. Focus on development, and at the same time, real estate is also regarded as another bright spot of economic growth, and the method of walking on two legs is adopted.

Shun Hai Province clearly stipulates that all commercial banks must strictly control credit and implement different payment ratios for different home buyers.It is stipulated that for those who buy second houses and luxury houses, the payment ratio should not be lower than 60.00%, and the interest rate of the loan has also been increased a lot accordingly.But for the people who really need housing, the payment ratio is only [-] to [-] percent, and the loan interest rate is only half of that of buying a second house or a luxury house. With such a high loan payment ratio and interest rate, the real estate speculators are not profitable at all. As shown in the figure, this fundamentally inhibits the intervention of real estate speculators.

At the same time, governments at all levels also take out nearly 50.00% of the land every year to invest in real estate development, and sell the acquired properties to citizens at a price slightly higher than the cost. It is also stipulated that government officials are not allowed to buy affordable housing and low-rent housing, which eliminates the It relieved the grievances in the hearts of ordinary people and reflected a fair house purchase policy.As a result, the rise of real estate prices has been greatly limited. Now the real estate prices in Shun Hai Province are at a relatively low level among cities with the same level in the country.

Due to the low price of buildings, many people from other provinces and cities have been attracted to buy houses and live in Shun Hai Province. At the same time, a large number of large-scale enterprise headquarters have also moved in.The province's real estate sales revenue has not decreased, but has been increasing year by year. The entire real estate market is showing a thriving and healthy development.

Under this series of effective measures, the profit rate of the real estate industry in Shun Hai Province is basically controlled at around 15%, completely eliminating the phenomenon of huge profits in the real estate market. The [-]-minute feature film will soon be over, and Mu Guoxing is satisfied. Laughing: "This film is very well shot and very meaningful. Do you want to get it to be broadcast on national TV?"

Liu Jiazhong said: "Because we are not sure about the spirit of rectifying the national real estate market, we have not yet thought of broadcasting this film on national television."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "I think this film can be broadcast on the national TV station, so that other provinces and cities can also watch it. The healthy development of the real estate market can also drive economic growth. This is comparable to real estate developers desperately It is hundreds of times better to collect hard-earned money from ordinary people and cause potential huge hidden dangers to finance."

Mu Guoxing raised his wine glass: "Thank you to the Shunhai Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government for making a good start in the development of our country's real estate industry and finding a development path that suits the national conditions."

The two drank it down, and Liu Jiazhong said: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, everything we are doing in the real estate market now is in accordance with the policy and route you originally set in Anjiang. We just made some changes based on the development of the situation. Just a necessary adjustment."

"The adjustments you have made are good. This shows that you really put your mind on the people and your eyes on the long-term healthy development of the economy. In fact, the original economic development policy formulated by our country, from the situation at that time It is also very correct to look at it, and it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments as the situation develops."

With Mu Guoxing's affirmation, Liu Jiazhong was very happy, and after a while he said: "Mr. Wu, Secretary Wu communicated with me before coming here, and I want to hear what instructions you have for Shunhai's future development. ?”

"You have all read the draft of the ten major economic regulation and control policies, and you should give more consideration to this aspect in your future work."

Liu Jiazhong understands that although the central government is the draft of the top ten economic regulation and control policies for various provinces and cities, it also represents a kind of ideological dynamics of the central government. The current real estate market rectification is to implement the top ten economic regulation and control policies preparations for the policy.If Shun Hai Province can lead other provinces and cities in this area, the situation will definitely get better and better in the future.

"Long, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not."

Mu Guoxing glanced at Liu Jiazhong, and smiled: "Comrade Jiazhong, we are all old colleagues, and this is a private occasion, so just speak up if you have anything to say, you are different from others."

"In this general election, will you enter the leadership core?"

"It depends on the specific situation. Before things are settled, there are many variables."

"Secretary Wu and the comrades in our team have already communicated, and will fully support you to enter the core leadership in this general election."

"Shun Hai Province is a province with a large economy. In the future, we will move towards the goal of becoming a strong economic province. I hope that your leadership team will perform their duties conscientiously. When you go back, thank the comrades in Shun Hai Province for me. Until now Now I still miss the time when I worked in Shun Hai Province very much, and you and Secretary Wu are also prepared to take on heavier burdens."

Liu Jiazhong's purpose of coming to the capital this time has been fully achieved. First of all, although the work report on real estate consolidation has not officially started, Mu Guoxing is very satisfied with that feature film alone.Secondly, I also found out the general direction of the future personnel arrangement of Shun Hai Province.The most important thing is that the main work goals of the central government's future economic development have been obtained.

Now the local general election is about to be held. Judging by age, Wu Hanyu is already 65 years old. Obviously, it is impossible to continue to serve as the secretary of the Shunhai Provincial Party Committee. The best result is that Wu Hanyu can take up a position in the National People's Congress or the CPPCC. Liu Jiazhong takes over Wu Hanyu's class.

Before coming to Beijing, Wu Hanyu and Liu Jiazhong also discussed this issue. Although neither of them said it clearly at the time, they were very clear about each other's meaning.What Mu Guoxing said now that Liu Jiazhong and Wu Hanyu are going to take on heavier responsibilities is implying that Wu Hanyu will be promoted to the National People's Congress or the CPPCC, and Liu Jiazhong will also serve as the new secretary of the Shunhai Provincial Party Committee.

Liu Jiazhong has no doubts that the old Mu family has this ability. Mu Guoxing is about to enter the core leadership. During this period, he may have communicated with the future No. [-] about this issue.Shunhai Province, as the place where Mu Guoxing once worked, has done excellent work in all aspects in the past few years. As long as Mu Guoxing brings up this matter, the No. [-] leader will not fail to nod.

"Thank you, Chief, for your support to the work of Shun Hai Province. On behalf of Secretary Wu, I would like to offer you a toast!"

Mu Guoxing raised his glass with a smile and drank it down: "This is because you have done a good job, and it has nothing to do with my support. A few days ago, on the [-]th, he also talked to me about the construction of the cadre team, and he also made it clear that For capable cadres, we must impose more burdens on them.”

Liu Jiazhong was excited for a while, he understood what Mu Guoxing said, and the commander of No. [-] knew about it, which meant that the progress between him and Wu Hanyu was a certainty.Mu Guoxing supports Liu Jiazhong as the new secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Can Shunhai Province not fully support Mu Guoxing to enter the leadership core?

VIP 380 Chapter [-] Relying on External Forces (seeking flowers at the fifth watch)

The briefing on the rectification work of the central real estate market was held in Ziguangge, Zhongnanhai. The main participants in this meeting were the principals of the Reform Commission, Land, Urban Construction, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and finance and real estate ministries and commissions.

The so-called briefing.That is, when a decision is very controversial, or when a new policy is introduced, we should first send a briefing to see the reaction of the relevant departments, and unify everyone's thinking.It generally does not make direct reports, and does not announce the announcers and participants.As for what form of cloth will be adopted in the future, it depends on the content of the cloth, the requirements and purpose of the cloth.

The meeting was of a very high standard. Mu Guoxing, a member of the Politburo and director of the State Economic Control Commission, presided over the meeting. The No. [-] chief and Vice Premier Hou, who was in charge of financial work, also participated in the briefing.

Looking at the eloquent Mu Guoxing, the No. [-] chief was deeply moved. When he met Mu Guoxing for the first time a few years ago, Mu Guoxing was still a small inspection team member of the Central Inspection Office. long.At that time, Mu Guoxing left a very deep impression on the No. [-] chief with his forward-looking vision and pragmatic work style, and Mu Guoxing also entered the vision of the central leadership.

During this period of time, Mu Guoxing, relying on his excellent working ability, made achievements that ordinary people could hardly imagine, and was soon appreciated by the central leadership.With their strong support, Mu Guoxing has progressed step by step from a department-level cadre to the current deputy state-level leadership position.The speed of his promotion is unimaginable for ordinary people.

This is not simply because of Mu Guoxing's family background, but more importantly, because Mu Guoxing has made great political achievements in terms of work ability and specific work. Naturally, capable cadres must continue to give He added the burden, so it is understandable that Mu Guoxing made rapid progress.

For organizing this briefing, Mu Guoxing also did a lot of work in advance. First, he communicated with Vice Premier Hou, and the two reached a high degree of agreement on the work of rectifying the real estate market. Mayor's office, please come to the meeting on the [-]rd to say a few words.
