According to Xinhua News Agency, Premier Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council on March 21 to study measures to establish and improve a long-term supervision mechanism for enterprise-related charges. The meeting pointed out that strengthening the supervision of enterprise-related charges is an important measure to reduce enterprise operating costs and optimize the business environment. It is necessary to adhere to a problem orientation, pay attention to both prevention and control, and treat both symptoms and root causes, focusing on government departments and subordinate units, administrative approval intermediary service agencies, industry associations and chambers of commerce, and enterprises operating natural monopoly businesses and other enterprise-related charging entities, strengthen supervision of the whole process, and strive to build a collaborative and efficient long-term supervision mechanism. It is necessary to improve the enterprise-related fee catalog list system, include all fee items in the list and make it public, and clarify the service content, service standards, and fee amounts. No fees are allowed outside the list.
Kong Xiangwen, associate professor and assistant to the dean of the w88 casino of Law, w88 casinotold an upstream news reporter that establishing and improving a long-term supervision mechanism for enterprise-related charges is an important measure to reduce the burden on enterprises, reduce their operating costs, and optimize the business environment, and is conducive to further stabilizing the development expectations and confidence of enterprises. By improving the list system of enterprise-related charges, we can effectively prevent hidden charges and arbitrary charges and ensure that "there is no power outside the list."
Kong XiangwenIn an interview with an upstream news reporter, he said that to a certain extent, problems of arbitrary charging and apportionment still exist in current practice, which has brought additional burdens to business entities and also affected the vitality of market transactions. In the past few years, relevant departments have taken some effective rectification measures and ordered the refund of a number of illegal fees. On this basis, establishing a systematic and normalized long-term supervision mechanism and forming a strict institutional system can prevent the "resurgence" of illegal fees and charges.
The National Standing Committee proposed to strengthen the supervision of enterprise-related charges and focus on enterprise-related charge entities such as government departments and subordinate units, administrative approval intermediary service agencies, industry associations and chambers of commerce, and enterprises operating natural monopoly segments. We will strengthen supervision throughout the entire process and strive to build a collaborative and efficient long-term supervision mechanism. It is necessary to improve the enterprise-related fee catalog list system, include all fee items in the list and make it public, and clarify the service content, service standards, and fee amounts. No fees are allowed outside the list.
Kong Xiangwensaid that the key to controlling illegal and illegal charging is to restrict the right to charge. Some government departments and their subordinate units, administrative examination and approval intermediary service agencies, industry associations and chambers of commerce, and enterprises operating natural monopoly businesses and other entities that enjoy a certain degree of public power are the focus of attention. By establishing and improving the enterprise-related charge catalog list system, list-based management of charge matters can be achieved. On the one hand, this is conducive to clarifying the legitimate basis for charging through the list and ensuring that "there is no power outside the list"; on the other hand, it can also make charging matters more open and transparent, and improve the visibility of the operation of power. Of course, during the implementation of the catalog system, we also need to pay attention to the problems of "re-shaping" and "evading in disguise" of charging matters, and there are problems such as "hidden catalogs".
The National Council also proposed to clean up existing enterprise-related charging policies in accordance with laws and regulations. Kong Xiangwen said that during the clean-up process, the legitimacy, necessity and fairness of the existing charging items should be fully evaluated. "Especially with the development and changes of society, some charging matters established in the past may no longer have substantive legitimacy and necessity, and the substantive fairness of some charging matters also needs to be considered. In addition, enterprises and the public, as the entities closest to the market, have information advantages in discovering illegal and illegal charging behaviors, and can provide more clues to regulatory authorities by actively exercising their supervisory powers to achieve collaborative governance."
