国外增值税制的比较分析与启示外文翻译

1、Terry CartwrightIntroduction to vat registration and accounting For value added tax M .2010国外增值税制的比较分析与启示摘要增值税，顾名思义， 就是根据商品的增加价值部分课征的税， 增值部分按马 克思的商品价值理论而言也就是（c+v+m ）中的（v+m ）部分。增值税具有 道 道征税，税不重征 ”的特点。这一特点使纳税人税负相对公平，促进了商品的生 产流通以及社会化大生产。 增值税是当今世界使用最广泛和成功的税收制度， 140 多个国家使用增值税系统作为政府收入的方式。 本章旨在通过对世界各国增值税 的比

2、较研究，对我国增值税的进一步完善提供思路。关键词 ：国外 增值税制 产生增值税的产生基于价值的增值额而征税的税制设想始于第一次世界大战后不久， 当时德国 的卡尔弗冯西门子曾建议实行这样一种税， 以代替多阶段征税的营业税，西 门子称他的建议是要推荐一个“精巧的销售税”；美国耶鲁大学教授托马 斯S 亚当斯则将他的建议看成是经过改造的“企业所得税”，这是增值税思 想的萌芽。 20世纪 50 年代，随着工业生产的日益社会化，生产流通环节增多， 营业税使位于生产链条后端的生产经营者累积承担的税负加重。 营业税的弊端日 益暴露，成为资本主义商品经济洪流中的一块巨礁， 极大阻碍了资本主义商品生 产和流通。

3、1948 年法国政府允许制造商品扣除中间投入物后再对产成品价值征 税， 1954 年，法国政府进一步把扣除范围扩大到固定资产已纳税款，将生产税 改称为增值税， 标志着增值税的正式诞生， 宣告了营业税的寿终正寝。 在实施抵 扣原则的实践中， 人们看到， 按销售额全值计算的应纳税额， 抵扣从事生产而购 进或接受的各种商品和劳务所含的税款， 实际征收额正好相当于对企业生产经营 新增加的价值所征的税额， 因而称之为“增值税”。 不久， 法国增值税从工业扩 展到农业、商业、交通、服务等行业，在世界上率先建立了一套最系统的消费型 增值税制度。二、增值税在国外的应用（一）增值税在欧洲国家的应用在欧洲，法国和

4、芬兰首先对增值税形式的流转税进行了有益的尝试。 1967 年 4 月，共同体委员会发布了关于实行增值税的第一号和第二号令，决定所有 成员国必须在 1972年 1月 1日前采用增值税。 欧盟的增值税是一个比较完善的 税种，主要有以下几个特点：一是征收面宽广。涉及到商品生产、分配、交换、 消费的各个领域； 二是允许纳税人进行最广泛的扣除。 纳税人可以从应纳税款中 抵扣掉当期购买的机器、设备、原料、辅助材料等投资性物品已纳的增值税款； 三是对出口商品统一实行零税率， 对进口商品按国内商品税率统一征税。 四是实 行逐环节征税、 逐环节扣税的办法。 生产经营者的税收负担不因其经营规模、 经 营结构、经营

5、方式的不同而轻重不一， 凡缴纳增值税的纳税人， 其增值税负担率 都一样。因此， 对生产到消费的各个环节增值税都不产生影响。 这一“中性”原 则促进纳税人始终将注意力放在降低成本消耗、 增收节支上， 有利于提高社会经 济效益。法国在 1968年以前实施的是增值税形式的流转税， 1968年11月 1日经过 税制改革，实行消费型增值税。欧共体各国都经过 6 年至 10 年的过渡期，完全 过渡到消费型增值税， 实际上在过渡期内欧共体各国实行的是“半生产型”， 增 值税经过漫长的过渡期才实行宽领域消费型增值税。（二）增值税在美洲的应用在美洲，巴西是最早实行增值税的国家。从 1967年到 1985 年，乌

6、拉圭、厄 瓜多尔、阿根廷、玻利维亚、哥斯达黎加、巴拿马、智利、秘鲁、墨西哥、危地 马拉、尼加拉瓜等国家相继实行了增值税。 这些国家的增值税课征范围很广， 一 般都扩展到零售环节。 其中有的国家如巴西、 阿根廷将农场主也包括在课税范围 内，不过，由于对小农场主免税，对农业的征收面很小。大多数国家如乌拉圭、 厄瓜多尔、哥伦比亚、巴拿马、智利、秘鲁、墨西哥等规定对某些劳务也征税。在美洲，经过各国的实践和改革，目前除洪都拉斯、多米尼加、海地实行收 入型增值税外，其他拉丁美洲国家全部实行消费型增值税。（三）增值税在非洲的应用非洲各国的增值税实施的相对比较晚， 从 1955 年到 1969年，突尼斯、 科

7、特 迪瓦、摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚、塞内加尔、马达加斯加等国家相继实行了增值税。 非洲国家的增值税课征范围较小， 除马达加斯加实行到批发环节外， 其他大多数 国家主要限于制造和进口环节。 其中科特迪瓦增值税课征范围较广， 除农业活动 和领取工资者的活动外，任何活动都要纳税，主要包括：加工制造业、建筑安装 业、某些服务业、租赁业、金融业和进口等。在非洲，塞内加尔采用生产型增值税， 摩洛哥采用收入型增值税。 除此之外， 非洲各国用均采用消费型增值税。（四）增值税在亚洲国家的应用在亚洲，从 1977年到 1986 年，菲律宾、韩国、以色列、土耳其、印度尼西 亚、中国、印度等国相继实行了增值税。亚洲国家的增

8、值税主要有以下几个特点：课征范围比较广，除个别国家外， 一般都实行到零售环节， 包括进口和列举的劳务； 统一采用税款抵扣法即我们常 说的”扣税法“来计算税额； 税率种类较少， 最多者如菲律宾共 4 种，最少的如 韩国只有一种税率； 对商品出口和劳务输出都实行零税率， 即对出口的商品或输 出劳务彻底退税； 对某些商品、 劳务、 农业等都在法律上明确规定了免税或减税 措施，税务部门在执行过程中不能任意减免税； 建立了统一的发货票和凭发票注 明税额扣税的制度。亚洲实施增值税是比较晚的大洲。 亚洲大多数国家实施消费型增值税， 但是 中国和印度尼西亚实施生产型增值税。三、国外增值税制度的启示 通过上述对

9、各国增值税实施情况的介绍可以发现，国际上现行的增值税， 不论是发达国家的增值税， 还是发展中国家的增值税， 既有许多共同之处， 又有 一些明显的差异。 相同的方面如各国增值税在计税方法上是一致的， 都采用了税 款抵扣法 ; 对出口一般都实行零税率，对进口普遍征税；一般都实行统一的发货 票制度，使税款的征收建立在法定的凭证基础上， 提高了税收的可靠性和准确程 度。在征税范围的大小上， 欧洲多数国家的增值税全部实行到零售环节， 其中有 的还将农业和服务业包括在课征范围内。 拉美及亚洲的一些国家一般都实行到商 品零售和服务行业。 非洲国家有些只实行到生产环节。 发展中国家绝大多数对农 业不征增值税，

10、 对服务行业只就列举的一些劳务或少数几项劳务征税， 对商品的 免税范围一般要比发达国家的免税范围大得多。 在增值税类型的选择上， 消费型 增值税是世界增值税制的主流， 适应各国财政收入和经济共同发展的需要。 国际 增值税改革的规律同样适用于中国的增值税改革。 中国在现有范围内扩大增值税 征收范围需要分阶段实施， 在增值税或扩大征收范围对财政、 经济造成重大影响 时要有耐心采用过渡措施保证税制改革平稳顺利进行。Comparative analysis and Inspiration of Foreign Value-Added Tax SystemTerry CartwrightIntroduc
