Financial analysis: how to improve the national tax awareness

Some people may say that this phenomenon is caused by the low quality of our citizens or the low level of civilization. But I don't think this is the main reason. The Chinese nation is one of the earliest countries in the world to implement the tax system. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was the most complete tax form in the world at that time. Since ancient times, "the national tax on imperial grain is a matter of course" has become people's mantra. It stands to reason that our people have a profound understanding of "tax". But why is our understanding of taxation not as good as that of our ancestors? That's because since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has been implementing a planned economic system for a long time, and whether to pay taxes or not is the national idea. Taxation has become a dispensable condiment, and people have gradually lost their comprehensive understanding of "taxation". With the development of market economy, the coexistence of various economic components and China's imminent accession to the WTO, taxation will play an increasingly important role in national life. Therefore, we must respond to the development of the situation, raise people's awareness of tax payment, and let people return to the good atmosphere of "paying taxes on imperial grain, taking it for granted, operating according to law, and paying taxes according to law". However, Rome was not built in a day. Raising people's tax awareness can't be done in a day or two or just by putting up a few slogans on the street. I think we must start from the following aspects: first, start with the education of primary and secondary school students. Primary and secondary school students are very receptive. They are not only the direct beneficiaries of tax, but also the propagandists of tax, and even more the future taxpayers. It is very timely and necessary to educate primary and secondary school students on basic knowledge of taxation and tax policies and regulations. Fortunately, in recent years, the State Education Commission has decided to write tax knowledge into primary and secondary school textbooks. This major move will have an immeasurable impact on the improvement of national tax awareness in the future. Therefore, we must implement this policy more firmly and urge primary and secondary school students to learn the course of "taxation" well. Two, adopt multi-channel and all-round publicity methods to establish a tax protection network. We should publicize the tax law so that every citizen can understand that although paying taxes has not brought him direct benefits, he has received indirect returns before or after paying taxes. Because the country spends huge sums of money every year to maintain social stability, develop public welfare undertakings and carry out economic construction, these huge sums of money come from taxes. When every citizen truly feels that "tax" has brought him various benefits and conveniences, he will have a sense of ownership, honor and pride in paying taxes for himself and contributing to the country, so as to consciously pay taxes according to the regulations. Third, increase tax penalties. For a long time, China's punishment for violating the tax law is not strict enough, and the punishment measures for tax evasion are often loose, no punishment or no punishment. This has led taxpayers to evade taxes with luck, thinking that they will make up for it if they can't find it. Therefore, we must increase the punishment for tax evasion, especially for major cases that have been strongly reflected by some people. Penalties will be handed over to judicial organs. Let everyone realize that those who break the law will be prosecuted. It is better to obey the law than to take such a big risk. Thereby greatly improving the national tax awareness. Fourth, improve the service consciousness of tax officials. Another reason why the national tax consciousness is not strong is that tax collectors have always treated taxpayers with a condescending and lukewarm attitude, and there is a phenomenon of "getting in hard, looking ugly and doing things hard". In this case, how can the national tax awareness be strong? Therefore, as a tax official, we should change our roles, take serving taxpayers as a foothold, treat taxpayers warmly, do not push from pillar to post, do not eat, do not take, do not get stuck, and do not want to provide taxpayers with all-round tax payment services, establish a good image, and let taxpayers get satisfactory services. Only in this way can we have a positive tax payment attitude and a strong tax payment consciousness. One of the goals of the "second venture" of local tax in our province is that the national tax consciousness should reach or approach the level of moderately developed countries. To tell the truth, we are still far from this goal.
