Question 1: Why should I pay taxes? I have always believed that paying taxes is an obligation that a citizen must fulfill and an unshirkable responsibility. Whenever I hear about tax evasion in the United States, I will be indignant and strongly accuse them. For the new immigrants from China, I also told them never to evade taxes. However, in recent years, I have learned more about China and more immigrants from China. After discussing and debating with them, I feel that they are wronged in paying taxes.

According to general axioms, individuals are weaker than enterprises. * * * is only a manager and cannot participate in the operation of the market. Just like a tiger can't compete with a rabbit for food. * * * can participate in the international market, but can't compete with the people. But on the contrary, China has a huge * * * industry. It has to use its powerful strength and resources to compete with it, instead of legally protecting its weak industries. What is even more frightening is that in the face of different tigers in the world, it not only fails to protect its citizens, but also binds its citizens with laws. Put one's own people in a helpless position.

According to China's law on foreign-funded enterprises, foreigners can invest in China for X years tax-free. Then cut taxes for x years. But I am in the United States, and I know that there are restrictions on American investment in foreign countries (outside the Federation). The so-called restriction is that foreigners' shares exceed a certain proportion, and the tax will be higher than other nationals' own companies. The fundamental interest of doing so is to protect the country's capital and industry. I haven't heard that the United States will deliberately give foreign investment any preferential treatment.

I believe that the Constitution of China will not stipulate that China citizens can be divided into three classes, and will not think that their nationals enjoy lower treatment than non-nationals. But why should China enterprises enjoy different treatment from foreigners? Will our citizens be richer than foreign investors? * * * can support foreign enterprises, but why not support their own national industries?

Second, when China's state-owned enterprises and private enterprises compete in the market, I believe that state-owned enterprises are more powerful. When our parents have devoted their whole lives to China's industrial accumulation, why should they take our jobs? Where did the profits of state-owned enterprises go? Is he part of the national finance? Who is responsible for their poor management? Why do innocent people have to bear this burden?

Third. China citizens pay taxes. What does * * * give them? When I saw that a large number of people in towns and villages in China needed farmers to feed them, and that towns and villages had been hungry for several months, I felt that not paying taxes was a good way to make China * * * downsize. Why should we feed these people?

Fourth. During the establishment of China's political system, a large number of private enterprises were confiscated and became * * * enterprises. * * * The policy towards the "master" is to develop an economy with high accumulation and low consumption, but it is not the people's fault that the economy has not developed well. This should be a problem of * * *. Why do you want to pass on the responsibility to ordinary people when you are * * *. The first thing I want to know is where are the profits of the * * * enterprises? How is it consumed? People have a right to know all this.

Fifth. When people give their hard-earned money to * * *, * * uses this money to set up * * * enterprises, so that these * * * enterprises can compete with weak private enterprises. Who let you deprive others of their rights and wealth again? No country in the world treats people like this. Why do people have to pay taxes to support a * * * that deprives them of their rights and wealth?

Sixth. The purpose of China's reform and opening up is to make the people better off, not to make them poorer. It's not to let the people bleed from the already abject poverty. Who will compensate the retired old people who have contributed their whole lives to the accumulation of medium × high and low consumption? Where are their rights and interests?

The function of * * * is to manage the country, not to oppress the people. When someone puts forward the idea of "crossing the river by feeling the stones", do you consider the safety when crossing the river? A river that a healthy person can cross may drown many weak people. Who gave you the right to let them die? * * * Why can't people's interests be fully considered?

* * * should be the people's * * *, and the country should be the people's country. We cannot stifle the interests of any minority in the name of the majority. Question: When most people are hungry, can you kill several people in this name and swallow them to survive? Sacrificing the interests of a few people in order to develop the future is not the reason explained by * * ... >>

Question 2: Does everyone have to pay taxes? Why? Taxes are divided into taxpayers, withholding agents and taxpayers:

Generally speaking, every consumer is a taxpayer. Because of the transitivity of turnover tax, the turnover tax included in the commodity price is borne by the final consumer.

Personal income is taxed according to different circumstances. For example, wage income is taxed at an excessive progressive rate every month, and the balance of labor income after deducting a certain fee every time is taxed at a proportional rate of 20% (* * * has 1 1 tax item, which is too detailed).

If a company's employees' salary income needs to be taxed, then the company is a withholding agent.

Question 3: Why do you have to pay taxes when doing business? 1. Enterprises have to pay taxes.

You belong to the service industry, and the main tax is business tax, which is paid according to the approved tax payment method:

1, main tax: pay 5% business tax (pay local tax) according to income.

2. Additional taxes and fees (payment of local taxes)

(1) Urban construction tax shall be paid at 7% of the business tax (5% in the county, 0/%in the township);

(2) The education surcharge is paid at 3% of the business tax;

(3) The local education surcharge is paid at 2% of the business tax;

3. Pay 20% personal income tax according to the distributed dividends. (Pay local taxes)

4. Pay enterprise income tax at 25% of the profits. (Pay local taxes)

5. In addition, there are property tax (original value 1.2% or rent 12%), land use tax, stamp duty, travel tax, etc. (Pay local taxes)

6, according to the sales revenue of 0. 1% of the embankment protection fee or water conservancy fund, etc.

II. Taxes paid by enterprises

You belong to the commercial or processing industry, and the main tax is value-added tax, which is levied according to the approved tax method:

1, main tax: 3% value-added tax is paid according to income. If the general taxpayer is 17% VAT, VAT payable = output tax-input tax. (Pay national tax)

2. Additional taxes and fees (payment of local taxes)

(1) Urban construction tax shall be paid at 7% of the paid value-added tax (5% in county, 0/%in villages and towns);

(2) The education surcharge is paid at 3% of the paid value-added tax;

(3) The local education surcharge is paid at 2% of the value-added tax;

3. Pay 20% personal income tax according to the distributed dividends. (Pay local taxes)

4. Pay enterprise income tax at 25% of the profits. (Pay national tax)

5. In addition, there are property tax (original value 1.2% or rent 12%), land use tax, stamp duty, travel tax, etc. (Pay local taxes)

6, according to the sales revenue of 0. 1% of the embankment protection fee or water conservancy fund, etc.

Question 4: Why should I pay taxes? What's the use of tax? For the country's solid economic foundation, the main source is tax. It can't be said that ordinary people enjoy the welfare of the country 100%, but it does have certain benefits to our citizens in some aspects. I can't speak some written language. In real life, we can see that it is far from enough for the country to rebuild the disaster area only by people's donations and foreign aid. There is also the National Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, which supplies power to half of China. Railways cannot be run by individuals. Some national poverty alleviation policies are also very good. In fact, the national policy is good, and a lot of money has been allocated, but when carrying out the task, the money has been exploited layer by layer. Don't let bad officials at lower levels take bribes, and the people will suffer the most in the end!

Question 5: Why should I pay taxes? Taxation is the main source of income for a country, and any country will tax its citizens at different stages of development. Chinese law stipulates: "It is the duty of citizens to pay taxes according to law." Benjamin? Franklin even said: In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes. And that's why, whether you have a job or not, whether you realize it or not, in fact, all of us are paying taxes. Maybe you think I'm still a student. I have no salary. How do I pay taxes? However, collecting taxes is not just when we sign tax bills. Many taxes are hidden, that is, you don't realize that you are paying taxes.

For a simple example, suppose you buy a dress in a shopping mall, and you simply feel that you have paid for it. But this "price" already includes taxes, but taxes are paid by producers and sellers, which may include sales tax, business tax and so on. Anyone who has studied macroeconomics or mastered relevant macroeconomic knowledge knows that taxes are levied by producers and consumers, which is equivalent to nominally levying taxes on enterprises, but in essence, taxes are levied by sellers and sellers, only giving money to enterprises. That's why we don't want to pay taxes. This is the most common example in life, but it is this common little thing that gives us a glimpse of the ubiquity and universality of taxation.

Cicero, an ancient Roman scholar, said: "Taxation is the main pillar of the country". We all know that the main economic source of * * * is tax. If there is no tax, then there is no income. It is conceivable that a * * * without any income cannot survive, and there is no way to create benefits for citizens. Many people often ask: "Where is the tax of * * *? Who is the ultimate beneficiary of the tax we pay? " Before answering this question, we can look at our living environment first.

You live in a peaceful country. You like to go to the garden in your community and buy safe food in the supermarket nearby. You usually go to work by bus, so you won't be late. Your child is receiving nine-year compulsory education. It's children's summer vacation, and your family is driving happily to their destination on the highway. If there were no taxes, would all this be realized? If there is no tax, * * * has no major economic income, and there is not enough money to improve the national defense strength, then it may not be realistic for you to live in a peaceful country. Correspondingly, * * * has no money to build public parks, which cannot meet the leisure welfare of residents, and the food you eat may not be safe. If * * * has no tax source, then the education under the reform will not be fully developed, the quality of the people will decline, and your children may not receive a good education. * * * Without taxes, it is impossible to build convenient traffic roads and enjoy the happiness and convenience of riding on highways. Buses may no longer provide commuter service for you. So in our daily life, we also enjoy the benefits of taxation everywhere. As Emerson said, "taxes and your interests go hand in hand."

Mark, a famous American writer? Twain once said, "I pay taxes on my income, which is the most important thing in my life and makes me feel extremely honored." From the above simple examples, we can also see that: on the one hand, taxation is universal, compulsory, free and fixed; On the other hand, we are always enjoying the benefits of taxation.

In addition to the above as the main source of fiscal revenue, tax also plays a major role in regulating the market, especially when the market has negative externalities. Taxation can be used as a tool to internalize such negative externalities, so as to adjust the market and restore the original equilibrium level. One of the simplest examples is the pollution problem in factories. A factory that produces environmental pollution will bring harm to the surrounding residents in the production process, which is negative externality, which reduces the living welfare of local residents and people's demand for it. * * * It is possible to levy environmental pollution tax by polluting factories. This incentive will enable factories to reduce pollution by themselves and bring the market back to its original equilibrium. Therefore, taxation also plays an important role in regulating the market. * * * Making good use of taxes can bring more benefits and better welfare to citizens, and citizens correspondingly ... >>

Question 6: Why do consumers have to pay taxes? The price of any commodity contains many parts, including: production cost, profit of production unit and tax payable by production unit. Then, through the wholesale and retail links, the prices of commodities are rising, mainly increasing the fees and profits of wholesalers and retailers and the taxes they should pay, and finally reaching consumers. Commodity prices include all costs, expenses, taxes, etc. When consumers buy goods, they must buy according to the final price of the goods, and the taxes and fees contained in the goods will of course be passed on to consumers.

For example, the price of a pack of cigarettes from a cigarette factory is 10 yuan (including cost, profit, value-added tax, consumption tax, etc. ), and the wholesaler distributes it to the retailer at the price of 12 yuan, so the wholesaler has the price difference in 2 yuan, including the value-added tax that the wholesaler should bear of 0.34 yuan and the profit of 1.66 yuan (excluding other expenses). Then the retailer buys it at the price of 12 yuan, and then buys it to consumers at the price of 15 yuan, so the retailer has the price difference in 3 yuan, which includes the tax that the retailer should pay of 0.5 1 yuan (calculated by ordinary taxpayers), and the profit is 2.49 yuan (ignoring other expenses). Obviously, a pack of cigarettes with ex-factory price of 10 yuan came to consumers and bought 15 yuan, including the costs, taxes and profits of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. It costs consumers 15 yuan to buy this pack of cigarettes, and the tax is virtually borne by consumers.

There is a simple reason. This has something to do with China's invoice. There are two tickets to buy goods abroad, one is the invoice of the price of the goods, and the other is the tax you pay for the goods. Since June 5438+February, 2006, China has separated the commodity amount from the tax amount and written it on one invoice at the same time, which has changed the previous practice that ordinary invoices only have one total amount.

Then, whether abroad or at home, consumers have to pay taxes when they buy goods or receive services. In the past, the total amount of an invoice also included tax, but it was covered up by an ordinary invoice.

Any consumer is a taxpayer, not a taxpayer who runs a company, nor a taxpayer who pays taxes in business. When you buy goods, you pay taxes, which is why people can confidently say that they are taxpayers.

Question 7: Why does the state collect taxes? Why does the country collect taxes? Why can it collect taxes? This involves the legitimacy and rationality of national taxation. About the basis of tax collection, there are probably the following statements: 1. The theory of public demand, also known as the theory of public welfare, was popular in17th century, and its representative scholars were French Baudin and German klock. According to this theory, the function of the state is to meet the needs of the public and improve the welfare of the public, so it is necessary to obtain the cost of realizing its functions through taxation. 2. Exchange theory, also known as interest theory, originated in18th century, and its main representatives are Rousseau and Adam? Smith developed on the basis of liberalism and individualism. According to this theory, the state and individuals are independent and equal entities, and citizens should pay taxes to the state as a reward for profiting from state activities. Individuals pay taxes to the state, and the state protects individuals. 3. The theory of obligation, also known as the theory of sacrifice, originated from the theory of tax sacrifice in Britain in the19th century, and Hegel was one of its representatives. According to this theory, personal life must depend on the survival of the country, and it is the obligation of every citizen to pay taxes in order to maintain the survival of the country. 4. Economic regulation theory: also known as market failure theory, is an important viewpoint of Keynesian theory. According to this theory, due to market failure, the market mechanism can not effectively allocate resources and fairly distribute social wealth, so it needs adjustment and correction of social and economic policies. Taxation is an important means to achieve this goal, giving play to the regulatory function of tax law, intervening in the market and providing public goods. Taxation is based on economic freedom and should be unconditionally consistent with the Constitution. Citizens' rights are mainly embodied in two aspects, namely, personal rights and property rights, and tax laws mainly protect citizens' property rights.

Question 8: Why is the consumption tax levied? Consumption tax is a tax levied on a few consumer goods on the basis of general goods value-added tax, mainly to adjust product structure, guide consumption direction and ensure national fiscal revenue. The current scope of consumption tax collection mainly includes: cigarettes, wine, wine, firecrackers, fireworks, cosmetics, refined oil, precious jewels and jade, golf balls and equipment, high-end watches, yachts, wooden disposable chopsticks, solid wood floors, automobile tires, motorcycles and automobiles, and some tax items are subdivided into several subheads.

Consumption tax is an in-price tax, which is only paid in the production, entrusted processing and import of taxable consumer goods. In the future, because the price includes consumption tax, there is no need to pay consumption tax, and the tax will ultimately be borne by consumers.

1 994 65438+1October1After the consumption tax was officially levied, some people thought that the consumption tax was an additional commodity tax burden, which would cause price increases. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. According to the tax design, the products subject to consumption tax were originally product tax or value-added tax. After the first introduction of value-added tax, the original tax burden of these products decreased significantly. In order not to reduce fiscal revenue because of the reduction of tax burden, it is necessary to levy consumption tax again to make up for the reduced tax burden.

Therefore, the levy of consumption tax belongs to the conversion of income from the old and new tax systems. Although consumer goods subject to consumption tax are still subject to value-added tax, the tax burden level before the reform is basically maintained. Levying consumption tax on a few consumer goods should not be a factor of rising prices.

About the basis of tax collection, there are probably the following statements: 1.
