Should inheritance tax in China has become the focus of media attention. Cause of the incident from the United States. The United States since January 1 this year, suspended for one year levy inheritance tax. This means that those dying in the United States, died this year as long as the rich can make their own heirs exempt from tax up to 45% of the heavy taxes. But this good life may soon end, if the U.S. Congress does not act, will re-introduction of inheritance tax in 2011. The maximum tax rate will jump to 55%, but the amount is also exempt from the 3.5 million U.S. dollars per person to 100 million, subject to its potential impact on taxpayers is 8 times the original.

China Youth Daily survey network and the customer's question on whether the introduction of the rich inheritance of a survey, 11,203 of those surveyed, 48.46 percent said they were not currently suitable for the introduction, there are 34.03% of those surveyed considered it an appropriate introduction, there are 17.51% of people were not sure.

Ministry of Civil Affairs Division of Social Welfare and Charity former Director, Beijing Normal University Wang Zhenyao One Foundation Community Research Institute, said to the reporter, to a certain stage of economic development will be put on making the collection of estate duty agenda, but also see the economic crisis, economic restructuring, there will be some adjustments in developed countries or suspended estate levy. China is now moving in this direction, such as a progressive tax system, "I think the estate duty time to mature, we can draw some experience abroad, as estate duty, objectively and their families is a very rich good protection. "

to donate half of the assets of the rich overnight is not realistic

this year, two of the country, known as "China's leading" Chen presented the cursor to the rich collection of estate duty on The proposal, estate duty ratio should be at least 60%, he said he would donate 90% of the estate donated to the community.

rich collection of estate duty is to promote more active charity then? China Women Development Foundation under the "good funds" founder Li Biqi that Inheritance Tax is a trend, will promote the rich and active part in charity. "If the levy of estate duty and the national charity we are currently experiencing difficulties may be the same." Libi Qi told reporters that she was doing charity encountered many difficulties, the most difficult is to persuade the rich to devote themselves to charity.

her friends worth more than 1 billion yuan, but there are times when donations for the disaster area, this friend is very proud of the Libi Qi said that he donated 10,000 yuan, which makes very difficult to understand Li Biqi. "He usually buy a car just like ordinary mobile phone, he is not without its charitable heart, but there was no opportunity to consider what to do charity." Under the influence of the Libi Qi, the Volvo active part in charity, and "good funds" development made a great contribution. Libi Qi that "estate duty, too, need to continue to publicize the need for someone to make a demonstration."

"stock god" richest man Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and the United States today jointly launched the charity storm surge, they persuaded the world's billionaires were to donate half of his lifetime or after death the wealth to support charities, and when the United States 40 Regal has lodged a response, China has little rich upstart response. Faced with this scenario, even Warren Buffett announced that he is ready and Gates came to China together in the end of September, China's emerging wealthy lobbying to join their "Charity League."

this, Wang Zhenyao, said: "China to donate half of the assets of wealthy overnight is not realistic, demanding too much, but let Chinese billionaires donate millions of years is feasible." In fact, some Chinese tycoons have long been into action, such as Wang Jianlin, Cao Dewang, Mr Chen, Chen cursor and so on, "years before they state their position on various occasions, not to mention half the worth, have long said most of the money donated to charity. According to my contacts, they do not show, they said most of them to donate their property, there are actions, they have realized that, should the money to the community, this is the best return. "

Regal active part in charitable and estate duty related

the survey also showed that 52.6% of those surveyed believe that the U.S. rich and active part in charitable estate-related charge, has 22.91% of those surveyed think that "not relevant", 24.48% of people said "do not know."

header Bao Qi Jin Shuping, chairman resource management is "good funds" one of the sponsors, she believed that the United States the rich inheritance of this behavior factors, but not entirely because of inheritance tax. Charity needs a climate, corporate charity is a necessary means to fulfill their social responsibility Di, "business has grown to a certain extent, Bujinchengdan business growth and welfare within the staff, and society needs to bear little if the company Du, Guojiafudan Ye no Name big. "

because of long-term organization and conduct of charitable activities, Jin Shuping domestic entrepreneurs do respect the purpose of charity too, pay more attention to publicity through the charity to establish a good reputation, so long will continue to guide the formation of the enterprise charity must have a return, "or even required by some companies to donate more than the amount of return, so now the charitable funds they need to do a commercial, but also to do charitable organizations." Are engaged in the real estate industry Jin Shuping said that she started from the charitable fund in 2008, with little time to the management company, but now the company profits when the point is even higher than their own care.

Jin Shuping said that the estate duty on China's next generation of growth and development of public welfare role in promoting good, "at least the second generation of China's rich may have better development, the rich will pay attention to them enhance the inherent, including the competitive power of money and more indifferent to the feelings of the situation will be reduced. " Wang Zhenyao also explained that the experience from the United States, through the levy of estate duty, the family wealth for three generations, the rich had more than five generations of the situation, and family for moral development, capacity building for governance would be much better. Because the Chinese for thousands of years without such a concept, so we need to have a learning process, "but in any case, I think it should be in one direction, estate duty is not that just the income tax the wealthy, of the wealthy families, Family Style it is a very good protection. "

China inheritance tax need to consider what issues

China inheritance tax need to consider what issues? Survey shows that 65.67 percent of those surveyed said that "inheritance tax should be levied against the rich", 56.70% of people think that "the prevention of personal property to relocate abroad," 56.17 percent said they were to "proceed with the establishment of records management and value of personal assets assessment system ", 47.59% of those surveyed believe that" inheritance tax must first improve the social security system ", 43.68% of the suggested" pilot city estate should be developed ", as well as 35.62 percent of those surveyed believe that" inheritance tax and gift tax should be uniformly applied. "

"Enterprise Income Tax Law" under Article IX: an enterprise expenditures for public welfare donations, the annual profit of less than 12% of the total part, is permitted to be deducted income tax. Jin Shuping admitted: "Some entrepreneurs or want more profits into charity, if the State's policy to encourage more, they will more lines out." Wang Zhenyao that provided for the previous tax of 3% of public expenditure can be tax deductible, and the new tax law identified the proportion of 12% tax deductible, "This world is not a backward number, but I heard Many donations do not tax the rich sense of duty-free concessions do not know, tax-free donations for charity for many businesses should be a very positive encouragement. "

Although there are such restrictions imposed inheritance of wealth is too concentrated, reflecting the role of social equity, but for the levy of estate duty, many people expressed caution. Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Department of Economics, said studio director Han Chaohua, the main purpose of inheritance tax is to narrow the gap between rich and poor, not to easy to sit back and enjoy the descendants of the rich, so a heavy inheritance tax charge. But in recent years, many developed countries to abolish estate duty, that may lead to capital flight, etc., which also should not levy inheritance tax in China Dai Lai a lot of controversy, so now in a state of uncertainty.

spiritual wealth of international training institutions, President Li Shengjie has been active in charitable causes, he also believes that there are difficulties in the implementation of estate duty. He suggested that the imposition of the minimum threshold, mainly for the wealthy, and can be combined estate and gift tax to prevent the transfer of property. At the same time, he believed that China must take into account before the levy of estate duty, the current Chinese tycoons with their wealth or how to evaluate performance, measure them. If the increase in the proportion of estate duty is too high, but his mentality is still care about money, development, personal achievement, not from the "Little Me" went to "I" of the spiritual world to come, too sudden introduction of the collection ratio Many people do not think it appropriate.
