On February 22, 2006, the State Post Bureau issued a commemorative stamp with a face value of 80 cents, entitled "Abolishing Agricultural Tax in an All-round Way", to celebrate the abolition of the Agricultural Tax Ordinance on June 65438+ 10/2006.

As an important measure for the government to solve the problems concerning agriculture, countryside and farmers, stopping collecting agricultural tax not only lightens the burden of farmers, but also increases their civil rights, which embodies the principle of "fairness" in modern taxation and conforms to the trend of "industry feeding agriculture back".

The meaning of cancellation

1, the abolition of agricultural tax, so that this system of reaching out for farmers everywhere has been fundamentally changed; More importantly, the current rural tax system is established under the dual structure of urban and rural areas. This two-line parallel tax structure, coupled with the imbalance of urban and rural development level, has formed a very unfair situation of farmers' tax burden in China. China's agricultural tax rate is 8.4%, which consists of 7% main tax and 20% additional tax.

2. The cancellation of agricultural tax means that the proportion of agriculture is gradually decreasing in the process of economic structure upgrading in China. On the other hand, it also shows that China has fully possessed the economic ability to cancel the agricultural tax without affecting the overall development of the country.

3. The cancellation of agricultural tax makes the fiscal and taxation structure in these places face great changes, which will further affect the fiscal and taxation structure reform in a larger region and even the whole country. Therefore, the abolition of agricultural tax is actually the beginning of profound changes in the fiscal and taxation structure, small regional economic structure, social structure and even the national macroeconomic structure, which means that the reform has begun to move towards the most difficult field.
