五、推進法治財政建設,加快財稅立法步伐,提高法治政府的現代治理能力
現代財政制度是法治財政,遵循財政法定、權力制衡、財政公開等基本原則,有利于財政收支活動和管理行為的制度化、規范化、透明化。
法治是國家治理的根本特征,是衡量國家治理是否現代化的基本標準。黨的十八大提出“法治是治國理政的基本方式”、“更加注重發揮法治在國家治理和社會治理中的重要作用”、“提高領導干部運用法治思維和法治方式深化改革、推動發展、化解矛盾、維護穩定能力”等要求。因為法治作為一種規則的治理模式,能夠最大限度地表達民情、反映民意、匯聚民智,最為廣泛地統合分歧、贏得理解、凝聚共識,最為有效地增強改革成果的權威性、科學性與可接納度。特別是隨著改革進入攻堅期和深水區,面對思想觀念的障礙與利益固化的藩籬,用法治思維指導改革進程尤顯重要。《決定》對“推進法治中國建設”作出了全面部署。現代財政制度是法治財政,只有按照《決定》提出的“堅持依法治國、依法執政、依法行政共同推進,堅持法治國家、法治政府、法治社會一體建設”的要求,推進法治財政建設,才能為建立現代財政制度提供法治保障,實現“良法善治”。
立法是法治的起始環節和核心內容。財稅法律是中國特色社會主義法律體系的重要組成部分,是需要加強的重點領域立法。《決定》將“完善立法”作為建立現代財政制度的首要任務,明確提出了“落實稅收法定原則”的要求。當前我國財稅法律尚不健全,一些基本的財稅法律尚未制定,財稅立法質量也有待提升。財稅法律體系包括財政基本法、財政收入法、財政支出法、財政管理法、財政監督法。應當制定國家財稅改革和財稅立法中長期規劃,突出重點,堅持立改廢并舉,提高立法的科學化、民主化水平。要完善財稅立法的機制和程序,拓展人民有序參與立法途徑,發揮立法的引領和推動作用。當前財稅立法的重點是,加快修訂《預算法》,發揮其在財稅法律體系中的龍頭作用;制定《轉移支付法》,建立法律化、科學化、透明化的轉移支付制度;結合增值稅改革、房地產稅改革等,將現行大多數稅種暫行條例上升為法律,落實稅收法定原則;修訂《稅收征收管理法》,為推進稅制改革創造征管條件;制定《行政收費法》,規范收費、基金等征收管理;制定《政府債務法》,規范政府債務行為;制定《政府投資法》、修訂《政府采購法》,規范財政資金支付使用。從長遠看,我國亟需制定《財政法》甚至修訂《憲法》,對事權、財權、支出責任劃分等財稅體制問題作出規定,這是建立規范穩定的財稅體制的根本保障。
“徒法不足以自行”。要按照嚴格規范公正文明執法的要求,推進依法理財和依法治稅,堅決摒棄按計劃征稅,切實保障財政資金依法及時征繳和撥付。完善財稅執法體制,特別是國稅、地稅征管體制。完善行政執法程序,規范執法自由裁量權。暢通財稅救濟機制,探索財稅法院的設置,切實保護財稅相對人合法權益。
