水资源费改税后收入大增，倒逼相关市场主体节约用水，而城镇公共供水企业税负下降。 水资源费改税自去年底全国推广后，水资源税收入出现明显增长。 根据国家税务总局公开的数据，2025年一季度，全国共实现水资源税收入104亿元，其中新试点的21个 省份收入43.5亿元，剔除水力发电季节性因素和农业用水按年申报因素，较2024年季均水资源费收入增 长16.4%。新试点地区水资源税申报户数达到8.7万户，较2024年水资源费缴费户数增加1.3万户，增幅 18%。 根据财政部数据，今年一季度资源税收入为724亿元。这也意味着水资源税占资源税收入比重约14%。 中国人多水少，水资源利用效率总体不高，为了提高水资源的集约化利用，经过多年试点后，去年12月 1日中国全面实施水资源费改税。水资源费改税背后，体现的是"使用资源付费"原则和"谁污染环境、谁 破坏生态谁付费"原则。 比如对水资源严重短缺和超载地区取用水、取用地下水等从高确定税额，通过设置差别税额，更好发挥 税收调节作用，抑制地下水超采和不合理用水需求。比如有的省份对高尔夫球场、洗车、洗浴等高耗水 的特种行业地下水税额标准比改革前增幅超15倍。 2025年一季度，是全面实 ...
