关于我国物业税立法的基本构想

国家税务总局在制定"十一五"计划时提出我国将积极稳妥地深化税制改革,其中包括实施城镇建设税费改革,稳步推行物业税,并相应取消相关收费。因此,适时开征物业税,已经成为我国新一轮房地产税制改革的重要内容,也成为我国财税法领域一个重要研究课题。本文通过对市场经济发达国家和地区物业税立法的比较研究,着重就我国物业税立法的必要性展开较为深入的讨论,进而提出了我国物业税立法的基本构想,希冀为推动我国正在进行中的物业税立法提供一见之得。     

How Location Efficient Is LIHTC? Measuring and Explaining State-Level Achievement

A growing recognition that the cost of transportation should be included in calculations of housing affordability has led to efforts to promote location efficiency (LE) in affordable housing policy. Because the program is responsible for most new affordable housing in the United States, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program has the potential to be a link between housing affordability and LE. This research analyzes the extent to which LIHTC units built between 2007 and 2011 were in location-efficient places. Ordinary least squares regression analysis was used to test the role of market, policy, developer, and urban form factors in determining state-level LIHTC LE. We find that for the nation as a whole, from a quarter to half of LIHTC units added during this period were in location-efficient places, depending on the LE criteria applied. State-by-state comparisons showed wide variation in both our absolute measures of LIHTC LE and our relative measures of LIHTC LE compared with overall housing in each state. State policy and nonprofit developers were associated with higher LIHTC LE and had a positive effect on a state’s ability to outperform its underlying urban form.     

Organizational Forms and Incentives in Public Procurement: Natural Experiment at a Large Public Sector Organization in Russia

This article analyses how the intensification of centralized monitoring within public organization may impact incentives for efficiency in those divisions of the organization that have different levels of financial autonomy. The efficiency of divisions’ activities was estimated through their procurement effectiveness. All the divisions were classified as non-commercial units (NCU) funded by the government or as income earning units (IEU) operating in the market and having broader financial autonomy. The results show that under standard monitoring, the IEU had more efficient procurements compared to the NCU. After intensification of centralized monitoring, the differences in performance became insignificant. These findings show that stricter monitoring is efficient for organizations with soft budget constraints, while for organizations with hard budget constraints it is preferable to use more flexible regulations.

国外负所得税理论研究的十大启示

本文在梳理有关文献的基础上提出国外负所得税理论研究的十大启示,即:纯粹形式,还是不同变体;局部试验,还是全国计划;短期试验,还是永久性计划;运用静态分析,还是动态分析;理性决策的主体是个人,还是家庭;倚重利己行为假设,还是利他行为假设;暂时收入假说,还是持久收入假说;偏好工作,还是偏好闲暇;评价应遵循单维度,还是多维度;要公平,还是要效率。作者认为,这十大启示为我们设计适合中国国情的负所得税方案提供了重要借鉴。     

税收负担、公共品层次与私人公共品需求——以山东省面板数据为例

个人税收负担的增长会对公共品需求产生负向影响,这一结论在西方的研究中被普遍证明。本文从中国实际出发,借助经典的中位选民模型,考察了个人税收负担对公共品需求的影响。通过对山东省17市1997～2007年的面板数据进行实证分析,发现个人税收负担对公共品需求的负向影响在中国并不普遍存在。就影响公共品需求的各因素来看,公共品需求的收入弹性以及人口拥挤效应普遍存在;个人税收负担对济南、烟台两市一般公共品需求产生负向影响,对其余15个市产生正向效应。为进一步揭示税收负担对不同层次公共品需求的影响差异,选取了教育和公共安全这两类特殊公共品进行研究。山东省17地市的个人税收负担对教育这类公共品普遍产生负向影响;对公共安全类公共品产生完全正向效应。因此,本文认为山东省一般公共品市场是供给导向的市场,税收弹性与公共品需求层次相关,建议建立引导公民合理表达公共品需求意向机制。     

税收优先权初论

税收征管法第45条确立了税收优先权制度,这对于保障国家税收的实现起到了重要作用。我国税收优先权的种类和适用范围,包括税收及滞纳金。税收优先权制度建立的理论基础包括税收人公益性、风险性要求等。由于我国税收优先权与其他债权的关系欠缺一定的公示性,将导致债权人设置抵押、质押时无法查清债务人在此之前具有欠缴税款的情形,同时税收优先于留置权的规定违反了物权法的规定。可借鉴日本和我国台湾地区的有关做法,在税收征管法修正时予以改进。

论纳税人的用税知情权及其实现

要保证"取之于民"的税款能够真正"用之于民",纳税人就应当对政府用税享有知情权。作为纳税人与有关国家机关之间"获知"与"告知"相关联的产物,纳税人用税知情权是一种积极性权利与消极性权利相结合的综合体,它在纳税人的权利体系中占有极其重要的地位。在我国,纳税人用税知情权的实现不仅需要相关法律体系的完善,而且需要制度保障的跟进和配套机制的建设。     

‘The Assembly Line and Cars Come First’: Labor Relations and the Demise of Nissan Car Manufacturing in Australia

This article examines the fate of Nissan's plant in Melbourne, Australia, which the company closed in 1992. Studies of Japanese car plants that were set up in overseas markets have generally been positive, outlining how these firms were able to thrive by setting up flexible or lean production methods. In Australia, however, the company was unable to establish lean production and executives complained bitterly about union resistance to non-traditional production methods. The plant was also dogged by poor worker morale and high turnover. This is the first study of Nissan's Australian plant and it shows that not all Japanese transplants were successful.
