Group 1 - During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's comprehensive national strength and residents' living standards steadily improved, with a significant impact from proactive fiscal policies. By 2024, China's GDP and per capita GDP are expected to increase by approximately 15% compared to 2021, reaching a per capita GDP of $13,500, nearing the threshold for high-income countries [1][2] - Fiscal expenditure in China surpassed 28 trillion yuan, with an increase of about 15.85%, nearly double the growth rate of fiscal revenue. The absolute value of tax revenue remained relatively stable, while its proportion of GDP decreased by about 2 percentage points [2][3] - The overall stability of prices during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, with CPI growth rates of 0.9%, 2%, 0.2%, and 0.2% from 2021 to 2024, provides sufficient space for further high-quality fiscal economic development in the "15th Five-Year Plan" period [3][4] Group 2 - The "15th Five-Year Plan" aims to reform the fiscal and tax system, focusing on increasing the proportion of tax revenue to GDP, which is currently below 13% and has decreased by about 2 percentage points compared to 2021. This low tax revenue ratio restricts the effectiveness of fiscal governance [5][6] - The proposed tax reform includes moving the consumption tax collection point down to local governments, which is expected to enhance local fiscal vitality and support the integration of various local taxes [6][7] - The need for improved coordination between fiscal policies and other policies, such as monetary and industrial policies, is emphasized, particularly in areas like child-rearing subsidies and the integration of various support measures [7][8]
