| Tax Revenue Expected to Hit US$205 Billion in 2002 |
|
China's tax revenue is expected to reach 1.7 trillion yuan (US$205
billion) this year, an increase of 200 billion yuan (US$24 billion)
from last year, said Director of the State Administration of
Taxation Jin Renqing Wednesday.
Jin said at a national conference on taxation that China's tax revenue totaled 6.4 trillion yuan (US$771 billion) from 1997 to 2002, more than double that of the previous five years. This year's tax revenue would account for nearly 17 percent of the gross domestic product, 6 percentage points higher than five years ago. China would establish a mechanism for sustained steady growth of tax revenue in a couple of years to come. Work would be done to ensure tax revenue grows at the same speed as or slightly faster than the national economy as a whole, Jin said. The projected 7-percent economic growth rate next year would lay a solid foundation for an increase in tax revenue, Jin said. (People's Daily December 26, 2002) |
