According to sources, the new tax reform program has recently were submitted to the State, the program may not change the threshold of 2,000 yuan, but opened the tax-class times, but also on the tax rate been adjusted accordingly. Experts say a tax exemption increases the amount of income for improving the role of low-income people have little income of 2,000 yuan in China accounted for 90%, adjust the exemption amount of only 10% of the small number of people tax cuts, 90% had no impact. (See today's newspaper reports related to version 11)

However, only 2,000 yuan accordingly without changing the threshold, and asserted that The current threshold of 2,000 yuan a tax law is introduced in 2008. Three years, the whole society in raising income levels, even at higher price levels. This means that the threshold of 2,000 yuan in three years is actually declining - not today, 2,000 had arrived three years ago on a 2,000 yuan.

In addition, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, 2009 National Town Staff and Workers in non-private entities pay 32,736 yuan in level, equivalent to 2,728 yuan per month. That is, in fact 2,000 yuan per month is far below the average wage level of low-wage, low wages would still like to pay a tax, how can

In fact, without changing the threshold of 2,000 cases, but also to achieve For example the one hand, a tax levied on an individual into a family. Threshold of 2,000 yuan for individuals, it will be multiplied by a certain number of family members after the household income into a threshold. So on the one hand in favor of low-income people to help reduce the tax burden, it also help to promote a fair tax burden.

the other hand, while maintaining the same threshold of 2,000 yuan, while adding more should be clear of tax exempt items - in addition to various social security contributions, the many other to ensure that living necessary for basic expenses, it should be deducted before taxes. Expenses such as housing mortgage (or rent), medical doctor expenses (after the Medicare reimbursement own part), children's school fees and other expenses. We know that the The housing, health care, education and so there is no doubt belongs to the Otherwise, if even these basic living expenses have to pay a tax, not the tax deduction, then the basic fairness of a tax, and Imagine a city in China today, a monthly wage income of more than 2,000, in assuming the housing, health care, education and other basic expenses, but also how much is left for taxation? !
