2016年政府工作報告英文版學習筆記 （11）

今年要重點做好八個方面工作。

This year, we will carry out the following eight tasks:

（一）穩定和完善宏觀經濟政策，保持經濟運行在合理區間。我們宏觀調控還有創新手段和政策儲備，既要立足當前、有針對性地出招，頂住經濟下行壓力，又要着眼長遠、留有後手、謀勢蓄勢。繼續實施積極的財政政策和穩健的貨幣政策，創新宏觀調控方式，加強區間調控、定向調控、相機調控，統籌運用財政、貨幣政策和產業、投資、價格等政策工具，採取結構性改革尤其是供給側結構性改革舉措，爲經濟發展營造良好環境。

1. Improve and keep stable our macroeconomic policies to ensure that the economy performs within an appropriate range

At present, we still have new instruments for macro regulation and a good reserve of policies at our disposal. On the one hand, we will focus on current realities and take targeted steps to withstand the downward pressure on the economy. On the other hand, we must have our long-term development goals in mind, keep some policy tools as options for later use, strategize our moves, and gather strength. We will continue to implement proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy, develop new approaches to macro regulation, strengthen range-based, targeted, and well-timed regulation, use fiscal and monetary policies and industry, investment, and pricing policy tools in a coordinated way, and implement structural reform, particularly supply-side structural reform, so as to create an enabling environment for economic development.

積極的財政政策要加大力度。今年擬安排財政赤字2.18萬億元，比去年增加5600億元，赤字率提高到3%。其中，中央財政赤字1.4萬億元，地方財政赤字7800億元。安排地方專項債券4000億元，繼續發行地方政府置換債券。我國財政赤字率和政府負債率在世界主要經濟體中相對較低，這樣的安排是必要的、可行的，也是安全的。

-- We will pursue a more proactive fiscal policy.

The government deficit for 2016 is projected to be 2.18 trillion yuan, an increase of 560 billion yuan over last year, meaning the deficit-to-GDP ratio will rise to 3%. Of the deficit, 1.4 trillion yuan will be carried by the central government, and the remaining 780 billion yuan will be carried by local governments. Special bonds for local governments will total 400 billion yuan, and local government debt-converting bonds will continue to be issued. China's deficit-to-GDP ratio and government debt ratio are lower than those of other major economies; such steps are necessary, feasible, and also safe.

適度擴大財政赤字，主要用於減稅降費，進一步減輕企業負擔。

The moderate increase in government deficit is projected primarily to cover tax and fee reductions for enterprises, a step that will further reduce their burdens.

今年將採取三項舉措。一是全面實施營改增，從5月1日起，將試點範圍擴大到建築業、房地產業、金融業、生活服務業，並將所有企業新增不動產所含增值稅納入抵扣範圍，確保所有行業稅負只減不增。二是取消違規設立的政府性基金，停徵和歸併一批政府性基金，擴大水利建設基金等免徵範圍。

The following three measures will be adopted this year.

First, business tax will be replaced with VAT in all sectors. Starting from May 1st, the scope of work to pilot this measure will be extended to the construction, real estate, financial, and consumer service industries, and VAT deductions will cover all new immovable property of enterprises to ensure that the tax burdens on all industries are reduced.

Second, government-managed funds set up without authorization will be abolished; the collection of contributions to certain government-managed funds will be suspended, and some of these funds will be consolidated; and more enterprises will be exempted from contributing to water conservancy construction funds and other government-managed funds.

Note:

* To make comprehensive moves to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, deepen reform, advance the law-based governance of China, and strengthen Party self-conduct.

三是將18項行政事業性收費的免徵範圍，從小微企業擴大到所有企業和個人。

Third, exemptions from 18 administrative charges which currently apply only to small and micro businesses will be expanded to include all enterprises and individuals.

實施上述政策，今年將比改革前減輕企業和個人負擔5000多億元。同時，適當增加必要的財政支出和政府投資，加大對民生等薄弱環節的支持。創新財政支出方式，優化財政支出結構，該保的一定要保住，該減的一定要減下來。

Through the above policies, the burdens on enterprises and individuals will be cut by more than 500 billion yuan this year. At the same time, we will increase government expenditures and investment as appropriate to work on living standards and other areas in need of strengthening. We will develop new ways for government funds to be spent and improve the government spending mix to ensure that all essential items receive sufficient funding, while non-essential items are cut.

加快財稅體制改革。推進中央與地方事權和支出責任劃分改革，合理確定增值稅中央和地方分享比例。把適合作爲地方收入的稅種下劃給地方，在稅政管理權限方面給地方適當放權。進一步壓縮中央專項轉移支付規模，今年一般性轉移支付規模增長12.2%。全面推開資源稅從價計徵改革。依法實施稅收徵管。建立規範的地方政府舉債融資機制，對財政實力強、債務風險較低的，按法定程序適當增加債務限額。各級政府要堅持過緊日子，把每一筆錢都花在明處、用在實處。
