1.2 税收执法权的划分 根据国务院《关于实行财政分税制有关问题的通知》等有关法律、法规的 规定,中国新税制下税收执法管理权限的划分大致如下:
1.2.1. 按税种划分为中央和地方的收入 首先根据国务院关于实行分税制财政管理体制的决定,按税种划分中央和地方的收入。将维护国家权益、实施宏观调控所必需的税种划为中央税;将同国民经济发展直接相关的主要税种划为中央与地方共享税;将适合地方征管的税种划为地方税,并充实地方税税种,增加地方税收收入。同时根据按收入归属划分税收管理权限的原则,对中央税,其税收管理权由国务院及其税务主管部门(财政部和国家税务总局)掌握,由中央税务机构负责征收;对地方税,其管理权由地方人民政 府及其税务主管部门掌握,由地方税务机构负责征收;对中央与地方共享税,其管理权限按中央和地方政府各自的收入归属划分,由中央税务机构负责征收,共享税中地方分享的部分,由中央税务机构直接划入地方金库。
