On January 28th, it was learned from the National Tax Work Conference that in 2026, the tax department will deepen the reform of the tax field, actively improve the tax and fee system that is conducive to high-quality development, social equity, and market unity, and deploy a series of key tasks. Hu Jinglin, Director of the State Administration of Taxation, stated that driven by economic growth and other factors, the tax department will collect 33.1 trillion yuan in various taxes and fees for the whole year of 2025, and the budget target for tax and fee revenue will be successfully achieved. Among them, without deducting export tax rebates, the tax revenue was 17.8 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.7%. 2026 is the starting year of the 15th Five Year Plan. This work meeting has made it clear that we will continue to build an efficient tax and fee revenue governance system throughout the entire chain, firmly uphold the bottom line of not collecting "excessive taxes and fees", deeply rectify tax related issues in illegal investment promotion and "invoicing economy", focus on maintaining a good economic and tax order, and better serve the construction of a unified national market. Hu Jinglin stated that while the tax department is solidly promoting the smooth implementation of the value-added tax law and its implementation regulations, it will also work with relevant departments to deepen the reform of the tax system, optimize the tax system structure, and strengthen the promotion of standardized tax preferential policies; Actively work with relevant departments to promote national pooling of basic pension insurance and provincial pooling of basic medical insurance, and encourage and support new forms of employment personnel to participate in employee insurance. In terms of strengthening tax supervision and inspection, the tax department will continue to strengthen tax supervision in key areas, seriously investigate and punish illegal activities such as issuing false invoices, fraudulently obtaining export tax refunds, fraudulently enjoying tax benefits, and evading taxes in areas such as refined oil and medical aesthetics. We will continue to promote the use of cases to explain taxes, issue warnings, and promote governance. In order to better serve the construction of the business environment, this work meeting proposes to promote the national standardization of tax administrative penalty discretion standards in a classified and step-by-step manner, and further standardize tax law enforcement behavior. The tax department will also deepen international tax governance and cooperation, improve the mechanism for communication and resolution of cross-border tax related demands, and promote the greater role of "tax road connectivity" in the national overseas comprehensive service system. In addition, the reporter also learned that in 2025, the tax department will strengthen tax compliance management and enhance services for the overall development. On the one hand, the supervision of key areas such as refined oil, export tax rebates, and internet celebrities continues to deepen, and the rectification of tax related issues in illegal investment promotion and the deepening of the "invoicing economy" are being promoted; On the other hand, through the "silver tax interaction", we have helped small and micro enterprises that pay taxes with integrity obtain nearly 3 trillion yuan in credit loans, implemented major preferential policies to support scientific and technological innovation and manufacturing development, reduced taxes and fees, and refunded more than 2.8 trillion yuan. The "buy and refund" tax refund policy for leaving the country has been promoted nationwide, helping enterprises eliminate international double taxation of over 3 billion yuan. (New Society)
