Book excerpt: The chapter on tax administration and legislative principles addresses the basic concepts that need to be observed in designing effective, equitable and efficient tax reform. The use of taxation as a policy tool and rights and obligations of taxpayers are also dealt with. The chapter on individual income tax provides a conceptual overview of a modern individual income tax system that the authors recommend as the longer-term framework for China's short and medium-term decisions on tax reforms. The chapter on enterprise income tax, taking into account China's intention to modernize the enterprise income tax system and replace the two current laws on enterprise tax with one law, discusses the building blocks of a modern system. The chapter on VAT and business tax develops a VAT design against the background of VAT models and sources of VAT law in other countries and addresses the desirability of VAT and business tax being merged. The chapter on China's WTO accession and tax reform discusses China's WTO-related obligations in the area of taxation.
