Rural tax reform reduce farmers' burden in Hunan (Xinhua) Updated: 2005-07-07 19:20
The overall tax reform in central China's Hunan Province reduced 5.58 billion
yuan (about 675 million US dollars) burden for the farmers during the past six
years.
Every farmer benefited a 108 yuan (about 13 US dollars) reduction, said the
governor Zhou Bohua at the provincial rural tax and fee reform conference
Thursday.
The official said Hunan started its reform on rural tax and feesystems in
1990 in an effort to standardize the tax burdens on farmers and eliminate the
growing administrative and arbitrary fees.
Since 2004, the province began to exempt the farmers from the agricultural
taxes, which intensified the reform, said Zhou.
He said the tax reform standardized the rural distribution system and boosted
the comprehensive reforms in the countryside.
