The economic development of a country depends on the vigorous market vitality, and the main body of the market vitality is the enterprise. Taxes have been reduced, fees have been reduced, and the development environment has improved, so that the real economy can develop with confidence and the economy can have vitality.

Looking back at the beginning of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", behind a series of tax and fee reduction policies, the Party Central Committee and the State Council precisely strengthened the momentum of economic development by doing a good job of reducing the country's "money bag" in exchange for the addition of transformation and upgrading of enterprises. These tangible measures are even more relevant to each of you and me.

Statistics from the Ministry of Finance show that the national general public budget revenue grew by 4.5% in 2016, which was lower than the 5.8% growth rate in 2015, which was the lowest growth rate of my country’s fiscal revenue since 1988.

2017 is a year of deepening supply-side structural reforms. Facing the call for enterprises to further reduce the burden, Minister of Finance Xiao Jie made it clear at the National Finance Work Conference that he will step up the implementation of tax and fee reduction policies in 2017, and appropriately expand the scale of expenditure. In addition to continuing to implement and improve the pilot reform policy, it will also "study and implement new tax reduction measures." The latest deployment of the executive meeting of the State Council means that the "clearing fees" in the new year will be further linked with the "tax reduction" to effectively ensure that enterprises can achieve the actual results of reducing burdens.

Reducing taxes and fees for market players is an important part of deepening supply-side structural reforms. Following the comprehensive launch of the pilot reform in 2016, the vigorous clean-up and regulation of fees related to enterprises in 2017 will undoubtedly become the "focus" of the new round of policies. The great efforts of the state to reduce taxes and fees will undoubtedly help boost corporate confidence and stabilize development expectations. If the expectation is stable, then the market will be stable and the economy will be stable.
