On October 18, Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, presided over a symposium on expanding the pilot work of replacing business tax with value-added tax. He stressed that in accordance with the requirements of promoting scientific development and accelerating the transformation of the mode of economic development, we should promote structural adjustment and reform with structural tax cuts, take the replacement of business tax with value-added tax as an important starting point, promote the upgrading of industrial structure, boost industrial innovation and transformation, accelerate the development of service industry and small and medium-sized enterprises, reform and improve the fiscal and tax system, and add impetus and vitality to the long-term, stable and rapid development of the economy

Li Keqiang said that the implementation of replacing business tax with value-added tax is an important measure to promote the upgrading of the manufacturing industry and solve the problem of lagging development of the service industry and declining capital. By opening up the value-added tax deduction chain of the secondary and tertiary industries, we can promote the professional division of labor in the industrial field, expand and strengthen R & D and marketing, truly change the enterprise structure from "olive type" to "dumbbell type", and move the industrial level from low-end to medium and high-end; Moreover, it will promote some internal service links such as R & D, design and marketing to be separated from the main business, and test after reducing the set value; Appropriately increase the import force (load) and export load, become a more efficient innovation subject, and realize a more focused main industry and a more professional auxiliary industry. At the same time, it is an international common practice to implement the same value-added tax on the service industry as industry, which can create a better environment for the development of the service industry, especially for the modern service industry with fine division of labor and long chain, the effect of tax reduction will be more obvious. The largest container of employment is the service industry. With the development of the service industry with a wide range of fields and coverage, employment will also expand. This is the most prominent reform effect, and it is also a strong promotion and support for the development of urbanization

Li Keqiang pointed out that whether the quality of China's economic development machine is excellent requires not only "indomitable" large enterprises with a pillar role, but also "overwhelming" small and medium-sized enterprises with growth vitality. In recent years, we have issued many policies and measures to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. This time, the replacement of business tax with value-added tax has taken another important step in the system, highlighting the orientation of promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the effect is also the most obvious. With the expansion of the pilot scope, it will benefit more small and medium-sized enterprises, especially micro enterprises, promote employment and entrepreneurship, promote the supporting cooperation and mutual support of large and medium-sized enterprises, and enhance the overall competitiveness and vitality

Li Keqiang stressed that promoting the replacement of business tax with value-added tax is a measure that focuses on the overall situation, starts with details, and affects the whole body. This is not a simple transformation of business tax and value-added tax, but a major institutional innovation. By gradually changing the business tax into value-added tax, we can basically eliminate double taxation in this regard and achieve fair tax burden, so as to achieve unified taxation of goods and services, which is conducive to preventing the problem of emphasizing products and neglecting services. This meets the requirements of simplifying and standardizing the tax system and reflects the direction of tax reform. The reform adopts the practice of in-depth demonstration, active pilot, from point to area, and steady promotion, actively, steadily and orderly, moving forward one step and consolidating one step, which will provide a useful reference for deepening the reform of the fiscal and tax system and promoting the normal tax clearance

Li Keqiang pointed out that it is necessary to carefully summarize the pilot experience, track and evaluate the new situation encountered, study and explore relevant major issues, pay close attention to formulating specific plans to expand the reform pilot, orderly expand the scope of the pilot, and timely include nearly 1000 kinds of high-tech new material industries developed before and after posts and telecommunications, railway transportation, construction and installation, etc. into the reform pilot. According to the national and local financial resources, we will gradually expand the replacement of business tax with value-added tax to the whole country. We should study and straighten out the financial distribution relationship between the central and local governments, ensure that enterprises benefit, local governments benefit, and the national tax system is improved, so as to form a win-win situation for all parties

Li Keqiang finally said that reform is a strong driving force for China's development. At present, the reform has entered the critical stage and deep-water area, involving deeper interest pattern adjustment, and the implementation is more difficult. We must promote the reform of key areas and key links with greater determination and courage, further deepen the reform of Finance and taxation, enterprises, finance, prices, income distribution and other items, and radiate the momentum of development with institutional innovation
