Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the phenomenon of tax revenue increasing despite a slowdown in economic growth during July and August, attributing this to several non-economic factors affecting tax collection and government revenue [4][12]. Group 1: Tax Revenue Trends - In August, the broad fiscal revenue increased by 0.3% year-on-year, compared to a 3.6% increase in July. Fiscal expenditure in August rose by 6%, down from 12.1% in July [2]. - Tax revenue growth exceeded 5% in both July and August, driven primarily by domestic value-added tax and corporate income tax, which contributed 3.9 and 4.4 percentage points respectively to tax revenue growth [4][15]. Group 2: Non-Economic Factors Influencing Tax Revenue - Three non-economic factors are identified as influencing tax revenue: 1. "Passive tax pressure" from prices leading to corporate recovery from internal competition [20]. 2. "Active tax pressure" from local protectionism resulting in lower effective tax rates, with government efforts to standardize tax practices [27]. 3. Increased activity in the capital markets, which has significantly boosted tax revenues from related sectors, with securities industry tax revenue growing over 70% in July and August [31]. Group 3: Fiscal Data Analysis - Public fiscal revenue showed a slight year-on-year decline of 2% in August, with tax revenue continuing to grow for five consecutive months, although foreign trade and real estate-related taxes have increasingly dragged down overall revenue [32][34]. - Infrastructure spending has been under pressure, with a decline of 6.1% in the first eight months of the year, necessitating supplementary financing through quasi-fiscal measures [44][53]. Group 4: Policy Implications - The likelihood of budget adjustments and debt issuance is decreasing, as resilient tax revenue suggests that the actual income gap relative to budget targets may not be significant [5][16]. - The article suggests that quasi-fiscal measures could be a flexible response to current economic conditions, with ample room for such measures to be implemented quickly without waiting for formal budget adjustments [17][18].

Group 4: Domestic Monetary Policy Considerations - Domestic monetary policy remains focused on internal factors, with the necessity for credit stimulus not strong given unclear demand-side improvements [7][22]. - The current strong equity market limits the central bank's ability to loosen monetary policy without risking excessive capital flow into non-productive areas [7][22]. - The optimal monetary policy choice remains inward-focused, with no immediate need to follow the Fed's rate cuts, as domestic economic cycles are stabilizing [7][22].
