Beijing regulates bus operating fees

The Beijing Financial Work Conference was held yesterday. In 2013, Beijing will strictly control general expenditures, compress expenses such as meeting fees, and strictly implement the zero-growth expenditure of the three public funds. The operating expenses of the bus should be subject to fixed management, and the standard for the average operation and maintenance of vehicles should be around 30,000 yuan.

People's livelihood traffic evacuation funds increased investment For this year's work, the Municipal Finance Bureau proposed to increase investment in the people's livelihood area.

With regard to education, it is necessary to increase investment in pre-university education to effectively ease the difficulty of admission. It is necessary to support the children of the migrant workers who come to Beijing to receive the compulsory education guarantee project and to promote the optimal and balanced development of the compulsory education. It is understood that, last year, the city’s financial and educational expenditures accounted for 16% of public expenditures, and the goal of completing the country’s fiscal education expenditure as a percentage of GDP was 4%.

In terms of housing, we strengthened the construction and operation management of affordable housing, established diversified financing channels, and supported various types of affordable housing construction. Study and formulate financial discount interest management methods for public rental housing project loans to further attract social resources to invest in the construction of public rental housing. Support the reduction of the average rent of public rental housing, improve the subsidized subsidy policy, and reduce the burden on tenants.

In terms of transportation, further increase traffic congestion, population sparseness, environmental improvement, energy saving and emission reduction, and emergency disaster prevention funding.

The transportation public transport subsidies have grown faster The Municipal Finance Bureau also proposed to improve the public utility subsidy mechanism this year. We will strengthen the study of fiscal subsidy policies, scientifically measure the scale of financial subsidies, and study the establishment of sustainable protection mechanisms. On the basis of rationally measuring the operating costs of various public utilities, we will improve and innovate the fiscal subsidies management model for public utilities, and explore the formation of a mechanism for the government to purchase public services.

It is understood that the financial subsidies for Beijing public transport have shown a rapid growth trend in recent years. With the opening of new subway lines, under the existing policies, the financial subsidies needed will be higher and higher, putting greater pressure on fiscal expenditures.

According to the data previously released, in 2010, the financial subsidies for Beijing's public transport and metro were 12.8 billion yuan; in 2011, the financial subsidies for Beijing public transport and metro were 15.69 billion yuan.

The average operating cost of bus vehicles is 30,000 yuan. The Municipal Finance Bureau proposed that this year we must strictly control general expenditures, compress expenses such as meeting fees, and strictly implement the zero growth of Sangong's expenditure. Improve vehicle purchase approval, budget and daily management systems, and establish a long-term mechanism for the management of official vehicles. We will improve the quotas and expenditure standards for agency operations.

The spokesman of the Municipal Finance Bureau, Han Jie, said that the standard for the average operating cost of buses in Beijing is around 30,000 yuan, which is determined according to different models and different operating costs. This 30,000 yuan covers all kinds of expenses such as insurance, refueling, and operation and maintenance of buses, and strict management is adopted. Generally, buses are not allowed to significantly exceed this standard.

It is understood that in August of last year, the data from the final account of Beijing's 55 departments showed that the average operating and maintenance costs for buses were between 20,000 and 40,000 yuan. Among them, the highest municipal port office, the average price of 49,700 yuan; the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau, average 46,900 yuan; the Civil Affairs Bureau, the average of 39,200 yuan; the City Finance Bureau, average 39,000 yuan. The lower departments include the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, with a total of 17,900 yuan for cars, 21,700 yuan for the city's local tax bureau, and 21,100 yuan for the municipal bureau of industry and commerce.

The statistics released by the central government before this show that the average cost of low-cost vehicles is only 10,000 yuan for the maintenance of buses, which is more than 130,000 yuan.

Yesterday, the private car advocated that the sum of insurance and fuel costs, together with the cost of own car is also more than 20,000 per year. The cost of the bus of 30,000 yuan per year should not be too high.

At the same time, Beijing will increase the adjustment of the stock funds of various departments this year. The new issues proposed by various departments must be solved in an integrated manner within the established budget trays of various departments by adjusting the structure of departmental budget expenditures and using surplus funds. This means that it is no longer possible to randomly increase the amount of money required for the project.

Revenue and expenditures “slowed down” Financial pressures increased The Municipal Finance Bureau Director Yang Xiaochao said that last year, the city’s public financial budgetary revenues totaled 331.49 billion yuan, an increase of 10.3%, and the fiscal revenue achieved steady growth; budgetary expenditures were 338.98 billion yuan, up 14.4. %.

In the past five years, the city's local fiscal revenue has reached a total of 1,253.92 billion yuan, which is 2.6 times the total revenue of the previous five years, an average increase of 17.3%. The city’s local fiscal expenditure amounted to 1,392.65 billion yuan, 2.5 times the total amount of the last five years of fiscal expenditure, with an average annual increase of 17.4%.

In 2013, the city’s public budgetary revenue is planned to be 361.33 billion yuan, an increase of 9%; the city’s public budgetary expenditure is expected to be 361.46 billion yuan, an increase of 6.6%. These arrangements will also be considered and approved by the Municipal People's Congress. Both of these increases are lower in recent years.

The Municipal Bureau of Finance analyzed that there are still five major problems in the current financial work, including the lack of a sense of crisis and urgency on the issues of tight revenue and expenditure contradictions.

According to reports, Beijing's current fiscal revenue has entered a phase of "increasing balance between income and expenditures." At present, Beijing's rigid expenditures have accounted for more than 80% of total expenditures.

Tax Cuts Over 20 Billion Yuan in Taxes Last Year Despite fiscal constraints, Beijing still carried out a number of tax cuts last year. According to reports, the implementation of structural tax reduction policies such as personal income tax, business tax, and value-added tax last year cumulatively reduced taxes by more than 20 billion yuan. While further adjusting the tax structure, it also reduced the burden on individuals and businesses.

Among them, Beijing has reduced its tax revenue by 3.5 billion yuan, accounting for 17.5% of the total tax reduction, since several months ago.

Yang Xiaochao said that at present, Beijing is paying close attention to the impact of improving tax policies on tax revenues, strengthening monitoring of tax sources in key industries such as finance and real estate, analyzing the contribution of various industries to tax revenue, and proposing suggestions for promoting the development of related industries.
