我国乡镇财政的困难与问题分析及政策建议闫永博【摘要】乡镇政府在我国五级政府架构中处于基层地位,财政实力较弱,规模较小。而且,我国绝大多数农村地区经济发展水平低,乡镇财政财源缺乏收入有限,这一点在农业税废止之后表现尤其明显。但另一方面,乡镇财政开支巨大,要承担农村义务教育投资的主要部分,支付庞大的编制外机关工作人员工资,还要分担农村社会保障投入和基础设施建设的投资。目前我国乡镇财政面临严重的困难,赤字浩大,负债沉重,究其根本原因,在于不尽合理的财政管理体制。虽然我国自1994年以来开始推行分税制,但在基层,分税制仍不完善和规范。乡镇财政所承担的事权与其所掌控的财权之间不一致,事权过大,而财权过小。上级政府对财政收支的管理过度集中,而且各部门在制定财政开支决策时的标准并不统一,因此乡镇财政不但机制僵化,还要满足多头上级部门的财政支出标准和要求。解决乡镇财政所面临的困难和问题的根本途径是继续深化财政管理体制改革,完善和规范分税制,使乡镇政府的财权与事权一致同时,还应大力发展农村经济,增加乡镇财源,减少财政供养人员的数量,提高财政资金的使用效率,实现财政资金的最优化配置。【关键词】乡镇财政体制;分税制;转移支付;政策建议[Abstract]Inthefive-storeyedgovernmentsystemofourcountry,villageandtownshipgovernmentisinapositionofgrassroots.Itsfinancialstrengthisweakerandsmaller.Furthermore,mostruraldistrictsareinlowlevelofeconomy,andareshortofsourcesoffinancialrevenue.Ithasbeennoticeableespeciallyafteragriculturaltaxabolished.Ontheotherhand,thefinanceofvillageandtownshipgovernmenthasalargerexpenditure.Forexample,Itmusttakeonthebetterpartofruralcompulsoryeducationoutlay;itmustpaythewageoftheworkerswithoutauthorized;anditmustshareinthefundsofruralsocialsecurityandinfrastructuralconstruction.Therefore,villageandtownshipgovernmentisfacedwithseveredifficultiesinfinance,suchasgreatdeficitanddebt.Theradicalcauseaboutsuchdifficultiesandproblemsisthefinancialcontrolsystemincongruouswithreason.Whileourcountryhasactualizedsystemoftaxdivisionbetweencentralandlocalgovernmentsfrom1994,thesystemisstillimperfectatthegrassroots.Thedutiesand---本文来源于网络,仅供参考,勿照抄,如有侵权请联系删除---thefinancialresourcesofvillageandtownshipgovernmentareoutofline.Thedutiesaretoomanyandthefinancialresourcesaretoopoor.Superiorauthorities’supervisinguponfinancialrevenueandexpenditureistoocentralized,andvariousdepartments’criterionsisnotharmoniouswhentheymakeexpendituredecisions.Consequently,villageandtownfinancenotonlyisrigid,butalsomustfulfillvarioussuperiordepartments’criterionsandrequirements.Inordertoresolvethedifficultiesandproblemsofvillageandtownfinanceradically,weshoulddeepenfinancialrestructuring,perfectsystemoftaxdivisionbetweencentralandlocalgovernments,andconformthevillageandtownshipgovernment’sdutiestoitsfinancialresources.Atthesametime,weshouldalsodevelopruraleconomy,increasethesourcesofvillageandtownfinancialrevenue,reducethenumberoftheworkerswhoaresuppliedbyfinance,improveavailabilityfactoroffunds,andoptimizetheallocationoffinancialresources.[Keywords]financialsystem;systemoftaxdivisionbetweencentralandlocalgovernments;transferpayment;policyproposal乡镇财政体制在我国的财政体系中处于基础性地位,对于推动区域经济发展、解决“三农”问题、建设社会主义新农村发挥着重要作用。然而,当前乡镇财政面临着一定的困难。如何顺利解决以及能否顺利解决这些困难,关系到国家经济社会尤其是农村经济社会的稳定,关系到社会主义新农村建设的实施因此,直面乡镇财政困难、积极研究解决方法策略,是目前刻不容缓的...
