Since it was not his turn to speak yet, Zou Wenming felt very annoyed after listening to Li Botang's remarks that were obviously dissatisfied with the Local Taxation Bureau, but he could only endure it and continue to listen to other people's reports.
After everyone finished reporting, Ji Yufei coughed twice and began to make a concluding speech slowly.
In his speech, he first fully affirmed Xinlang County's economic development achievements in recent years, and expressed warm congratulations on Xinlang County's successful evaluation as a national resource-depleted city.
Then, he changed the subject and talked about how local governments and government departments should perform their service functions, how to optimize the economic development environment, how to implement various preferential policies, etc. He talked eloquently for half an hour, and he The central argument is that the government and various administrative agencies should put the service concept first and conscientiously implement various preferential policies to ensure that these policies benefit the people and are implemented in real terms.
Then, he cited the example of the Zhenxing Steel Plant's application for income tax reduction and exemption, saying that the Zhenxing Steel Plant had made outstanding contributions to the economic and social development of Xinlang, and had proactively placed laid-off workers in the steel plant for re-employment, reducing employment pressure for the government. , which promotes the harmony and stability of Xinlang and is fully in line with the conditions of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the preferential tax policies for the re-employment of laid-off workers. The corporate income tax should be reduced or reduced for three years. Today, I specially invited the person in charge of the Xinlang Local Taxation Bureau. I came here to attend this meeting because I want to ask the local tax authorities to improve their work efficiency, serve taxpayers seriously, and strive to complete the tax reduction and exemption procedures for the revitalization of the steel plant as soon as possible.
When he said this, he stared at Zou Wenming, who was sitting in the last position in uniform, with a smile on his face and said: "That should be the responsible comrade of the Xinleng Local Taxation Bureau. May I ask your surname?"
Zou Wenming hurriedly replied: "Hello, Director Ji, my surname is Zou and my name is Zou Wenming. I am now in charge of the Xinlang Local Taxation Bureau."
Ji Yufei nodded and said: "Director Zou, what Chairman Li and I just said was not to accuse your local tax authorities of low efficiency or poor service. We are just discussing the matter and the importance of implementing various preferential policies. Sex, I know that there are certain procedures and regulations for the administrative approval of your local tax authorities. As the mayor, I do not want to interfere with your approval process, but I just want to remind you in good faith that I hope you can improve your efficiency and be down-to-earth. Put your tax incentives into effect,”
Zou Wenming nodded and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Director Ji, I understand what you mean. Regarding the issue of income tax reduction and exemption for the revitalization of the steel plant, I haven't seen the information submitted by the first branch, so I have no say here. I don’t know whether the factory’s application materials for tax exemptions are in compliance with the standards and policies. Let me express my opinion here: within a week, our county bureau will urge the first branch to conduct a tax exemption investigation and put forward preliminary opinions. , no matter what the conclusion is, it will be reported to Zhenxing Steel Plant,"
Ji Yufei's purpose in calling Zou Wenming here today was to force him to make a statement, pass the tax exemption application for the revitalization of the steel plant as soon as possible, and submit information to the K City Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Bureau.
Unexpectedly, the director of local taxation did not seem to agree with him as the new mayor, and did not follow his wishes. He promised to approve the revitalization of the steel plant as soon as possible, but only said that he would conduct a tax reduction investigation. I couldn't help but feel very sad. He was unhappy, but he couldn't directly force Zou Wenming to sign for Li Botang to agree to the reduction, so he had to look at Zou Wenming with an unhappy look and change the topic to other aspects...
After Zou Wenming returned to the bureau, he carefully recalled Ji Yufei's highly tendentious speech. His last glance of dissatisfaction flashed before his eyes. He sighed secretly and called Ye Ming. In his office, he said a little helplessly: "Xiaoye, you can arrange for two people to go to the Zhenxing Steel Plant tomorrow to conduct a tax reduction investigation. Today I was called to the county committee meeting by Ji Yufei, the new mayor of K City, and listened to Li Botang's speech. They complained that our local tax bureau was inefficient and deliberately made things difficult for their company. Although Mayor Ji did not criticize me clearly, his words were also insinuations, as if our local tax bureau did not sign and stamp Li Botang's tax exemption application in time. It seems like he has made a big mistake. Alas, there is nothing we can do. Although this Li Botang is arrogant and domineering, he has the support of the mayor. We can’t hold our arms against our thighs, so we should just turn a blind eye. If their information is not too If it’s a big problem, just sign and report it,”
Ye Ming said a little stubbornly: "Director Zou, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. We have always emphasized that we must act in accordance with the law. If the application materials for revitalizing the steel plant do not comply with the tax exemption policy, we will give them approval without investigating clearly. That is a serious dereliction of duty and will cause heavy losses to the country. Therefore, my suggestion is: No matter who the leader is this time, we must follow the tax reduction and exemption procedures and conduct a tax reduction investigation carefully. If it is found during the investigation Zhenxing Iron and Steel Plant is suspected of fraud, so we must not sign their application. Otherwise, if something happens to their plant one day, or someone files a complaint, those of us who signed will be held responsible for dereliction of duty."
Having said this, he looked at Zou Wenming with a firm look and said: "Director Zou, their applications and information are still in our branch and have not been reported to the county bureau party group for approval. Don't worry about it. If If they really violate the rules, I will block their information in the first branch and return the information to their factory at the appropriate time. You can tell Li Botang: the first branch will not report your information to the taxation department of the county bureau at all. You can’t help me with the information and application. In this case, if Li Botang hates me, he will only hate me, and it has nothing to do with you.”
Zou Wenming is an upright person, and he is actually very annoyed with Li Botang's practice of using a tiger's skin as a banner. Moreover, he is also an honest and upright person. He is indeed a little worried about approving tax exemptions for Zhenxing Steel Plant in case of violations in the future. When the incident came to light, he could not escape the charge of dereliction of duty. The reason why he wanted to compromise just now was because at the briefing meeting in the morning, Mayor Ji Yufei made it clear that he wanted the Local Taxation Bureau to get the tax exemption and exemption approval for the Zhenxing Steel Plant as soon as possible. If he refuses to implement his idea, he is worried about the retaliation from Ji Yufei and Li Botang.
But now, after hearing Ye Ming's words, he felt a lot more at ease: Yes, as long as Ye Ming insists on not signing Li Botang's tax exemption application and not reporting information to the county bureau's taxation department, no one can blame him. He was the director, and Ye Ming had Secretary Li Runji as his backer. If Li Botang and Ji Yufei wanted to retaliate against him, they would not have the courage.
