In terms of the personnel system, in addition to continuing to implement Lingao's method of using examinations instead of evaluations, we must also favor front-line grassroots and business personnel. While increasing front-line subsidies, personnel exchanges will be strengthened. Newcomers will first be assigned to tax administrator and front desk collection positions. Only those who have passed the assessment of "competent" or above in both positions and have completed a certain number of working years can be adjusted to work in the agency.
According to the plan discussed with Ai Zhixin, Wang Qiyi regrouped the Finance and Taxation Bureau personnel after completing the all-staff examination after resumption of work. Excluding less than ten logistics staff and employees who unfortunately died of the plague, there are now a total of 78 business staff in the Finance and Taxation Bureau. They are divided into 8 ordinary groups of 9 people each according to the principle of mixed grouping of old and new people. The remaining 6 people are led by themselves. These nine groups of people will conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Guangzhou city by region. Each area will be cross-checked and re-examined by at least different teams. In addition to being responsible for one area, Wang Qiyi's team also conducts spot checks on the inspection status of other areas.
“A sharpened knife will never waste time in chopping firewood,” Wang Qiyi explained to Ai Zhixin at the previous meeting. “We have a lot of information at hand, but I hope these people will go and see and walk around. Collect taxes The foundation of taxation is the source of taxation. The clearer and more comprehensive our grasp of the source of taxation, the easier it will be to carry out work in the future. We can collect taxes one day later, but this work must be done solidly."
Now the Finance and Taxation Bureau has a large number of archives transferred from the civil affairs and police as well as the old Guangzhou government. It is no problem to rely on these things to do desk analysis and push forward the taxation work. But Wang Qiyi believes that if taxation is to be implemented effectively, the most important thing is for people to be implemented and management to be implemented. Forming a working group and walking around the streets, firstly, it can give Guangzhou citizens an intuitive impression of what the new "tax collector" of the Senate looks like; secondly, it can use the most intuitive and direct means to collect information. It's not that Wang Qiyi doesn't believe the information transferred from the civil affairs and other departments, but the experience of the old time and space tells him that the seamless comparison of desk information does not mean it is true. What's more, it feels too bad to rely entirely on others for first-hand information. Taxation work must have own sources of information.
"You remember, the most important things are walking, seeing, asking, listening and speaking." Wang Qiyi told the team that was ready to go at the mobilization meeting of the working group, "walking means that every household must go and see." That means observing every corner, asking means following the questions on our inquiry form and not missing anything, listening means not only listening to the questions others answer but also listening to their complaints and all the things they are willing to say. Speaking means to make us Promote our fiscal and taxation work and tell the general public how the fiscal and taxation bureau of our Senate is different from that of the Qingming Dynasty! Don’t be afraid of being wordy or making mistakes. There are no mistakes. As long as you see and hear, you should write it down. We What you want is truth.”
The fiscal and tax census methods formulated by Wang Qiyi are crude even in the new era. But he doesn't care too much. The survey results of each household may vary greatly, but the results of the entire industry in the entire neighborhood will not. This is enough. He is preparing these data for the next step of refinement of tax categories, and together with the data transferred from other departments, it will serve as the basic file of the Guangzhou Municipal Finance and Taxation Bureau. Another is that cadres with high professional quality and strong sense of responsibility can be found during the inspection work and selected into the tax assessment team to prepare a talent reserve for the imminent tax collection period. As for collection, my wife is about to bring the third team. Those students in the finance and taxation class are more suitable for this work than the current cadres.
"Okay, I have no objection to your plan." Ai Zhixin put the document on his desk, "I think our work might as well be called "sharpening the knife.""
"Knife sharpening? Sharpening a knife to a woodcutter?"
"No, it's the sharpening of a knife for pigs and sheep."
After discussing the first thing to do after opening the door, Ai Zhixin and Wang Qiyi began to refine the organization and management system of the Guangzhou Finance and Taxation Bureau. In terms of organizational structure, the Finance and Taxation Bureau currently only has taxation business. Ai Zhixin's previous idea was very correct and very realistic, so Wang Qiyi basically made no changes.
The Municipal Finance and Taxation Bureau plans to temporarily divide it into two levels: the agency and the front line. The front line will only have two departments: the collection office (taxation hall) and the management office. The agency will have offices, the collection and management office, the tax verification office, the audit office, the tax accounting office and the financial accounting office. at.
"There is no need for two accounting offices. We have too few people. This kind of office can be merged into one and then divided into departments." Ai Zhixin feels that now the whole country is complaining about staff shortage, and his new organization is asking for people. On the one hand, it has created two institutions that sound similar, and they are likely to be criticized by some veterans who are careful but not very knowledgeable.
"Hey, my Director Ai, this is not easy to handle," Wang Qiyi patted his notebook, "Financial accountants are in charge of our own money, and tax accountants are in charge of taxes and the country's money. If we put them together, it will not make us more likely to be criticized. ?The most important thing is, have you forgotten, in the old time and space, where did the secretaries and mayors from all over the country go to visit on the night of December 31 every year? The Planning and Statistics Section of the National and Local Taxation Bureau and the Treasury Section of the People's Bank of China. It is also here for Liu Xiang. Similarly, he may not care about how we collect taxes, but he definitely cares about the tax accounting reports. Otherwise, we can change the name of the Tax Accounting Department to the Tax Statistics Department, and the Financial Accounting Department to the Finance Department. This will always be fine. ”
"That's okay," Ai Zhixin nodded, feeling a little unhappy. It seemed that every time his proposal would be changed by Wang Qiyi and his wife, although it was all details, it was still unpleasant. He decided not to always be the first to have an opinion. "Old Wang, tell me, should our bureau also have a slogan and purpose? There is also a school motto in Fangcaodi that knowledge is power."
"Serve the country, serve the economy, and serve society." Wang Qiyi blurted out.
"Let me go, Lao Wang, can you talk a little bit about politics? This is 1635, not 2015. We are a management agency, not a service agency. I think it's just these four words: Gather wealth for the country..."
"Collect taxes for the people?" Wang Qiyi answered like a conditioned reflex.
"Only four words." Ai Zhixin was speechless, "Only the first four. Why are we the people? We want to do it for the Senate. I don't want to create another group of people in this time and space who always shout, 'I am a taxpayer. 's taxpayers."
"You can't even talk about it after paying taxes? Are you too authoritarian and overbearing?" Wang Qiyi joked, but he was a little bit embarrassed in his heart: The political consciousness is really high, not to mention that the Chinese people do not have this awareness in traditional thinking. Even in foreign countries in the old time and space, those who shouted like this were just some losers, and it was useless to shout. Once the money reaches the treasury, it is no longer yours. What the state relies on for taxation is not self-consciousness or the awareness of "serving the country and the people", but the power of the state apparatus to legally use violence.
"We don't say that, but if our taxes are used like this, even if only a part of it is used, the people will think that what we do is better than what we say," Ai Zhixin said. "If we say that this tax is collected for the people, Then points will be deducted if you don’t do well, and no points will be added if you do well.”
"..." It is actually not clear whether all taxes are collected from the people and used for the people. Instead of leaving a trail of words, it would be better to directly introduce the "Imperial Grain and National Tax".
"Chinese people say that there is a national tax on imperial food, while foreigners say that only taxation and death are inevitable. Everyone knows this in their hearts, and there is no need for us to be coy."
"Okay." Wang Qiyi didn't want to dwell too much on this issue. In the old time and space, he had been promoted to a higher and lower level, and had presided over work, but he had always been in the deputy business position. This had a lot to do with his lack of interest in such matters and his poor political sensitivity. . In the new time and space, the "deputy" director once again confirmed that this guy is really a man whose nature cannot be changed.
After delineating the organizational departments, the next step is job responsibilities and personnel. Guangzhou Special Municipal Finance and Taxation Bureau has initially determined:
There is an office within the agency, which consists of a general affairs department, a secretarial department, a personnel department, a publicity department, an archives office and a cashier's office, which are responsible for overall logistics work. Among them, the archives room only manages the internal files of the bureau and does not include tax files. The cashier's office is only managed by the office in terms of staffing and operates independently in terms of personnel and business.
Collection and Management Office: It consists of two internal departments: collection and management, which are mainly responsible for overall arrangement and coordination of front-line collection and management work. Currently, the office is merged with the front-line collection office and management office.
Tax Assessment Division: It consists of four departments: investigation, preliminary examination, assessment, and review, which are responsible for the tax assessment of all taxpayers within the jurisdiction. Regardless of whether it is a fixed-amount collection or an audit collection, the tax assessment office must issue a tax assessment letter before declaration and payment can be made.
Audit Division: It consists of Case Selection Section, Trial Section, Inspection Section, and Execution Section. Responsible for conducting regular or irregular tax audits on the taxation situation within the jurisdiction and the collection and management of the Finance and Taxation Bureau. The audit method can be to focus on individual households for inspection or to conduct special inspections based on regions or industries. Except for the collection business, all the business of the Audit Office can be run independently.
Finance Department: Responsible for the use and management of the Finance and Taxation Bureau's own funds.
Tax Statistics Department: It consists of Statistics Section and Invoice Section. Responsible for the preparation of tax statements and the unified management of tax bills for the Finance and Taxation Bureau.
There are only two front-line departments:
Collection Office: Responsible for tax declaration and collection within the jurisdiction.
Management Office: Responsible for tax reporting and payment, tax assessment status feedback, and tax law publicity within the jurisdiction.
"It's a bit top-heavy," Ai Zhixin muttered silently as he looked at the plan. "There are a lot of leaders in the agency, and all of them are working people. Is there too many departments in this department?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. We can only favor the grassroots in terms of staffing, and the wages and benefits at the grassroots should also be better." Wang Qiyi feels the same as Ai Zhixin about this plan. In the old days, I also felt that working at the grassroots level was hard and tiring, especially since my wife was still at the grassroots level. But now that I have become a householder and have to do top-level design, I have discovered that it is really difficult to delete and merge departments in the agency.
