Recently, JiangsuYanchengRuralThe requirement for villagers to pay a "population fee" of 20 yuan per person has attracted widespread attention. The news quickly went viral on the Internet, with many people jokingly calling it "ancient".Poll tax"It's back again.

However, this kindTaxesof injustice and severity of the impact on civiliansEconomyThe pressure led to its official abolition during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty in China. So why is the tax burden in ancient China so reproduced in modern times?The official response said that the "population fee" was inaccurate, and that the fee was actually raised from the villagers for the construction of public facilities.
According to the relevant personnel, the collection of fees from the villagers by the local government was discussed and agreed upon. The fee of 20 yuan that each villager needs to pay is also strictly controlled within the prescribed range. In addition, this fee is also given to the village for use, not to the state. It doesn't matter what the name of the fee is stated, it should be concerned aboutTaxesnature, as well as the legality, feasibility, necessity and purpose of use of the expropriation. According to the "Notice on Implementing the Administrative Measures for Villagers' Discussion of Financing and Raising Labor" issued by Jiangsu Province, the local government can suspend the financing and raising of labor according to the conditions, and the relevant regulations must be strictly implemented in the case of the need to be carried out, and the operating procedures such as deliberation, examination and approval, and publicity must be standardized. In addition, the cost of financing is mainly used for farmland water conservancy infrastructure construction, road construction, etcAfforestationComprehensive agricultural developmentand so on with the villagePeople's livelihoodLive-related public welfare projects.

Therefore, we need to analyze the purpose of the fee and the shortage of funds according to these regulations and the actual local situation, and judge whether it is really necessary for the people to pay this fee. In the process of expropriation, did the opinions of the villagers be fully heard?Is the use of the fee income and the management mechanism legal and compliant?Is there an effective mechanism for capital supervision?In the face of this dispute over the "population fee", the local government needs to strictly follow the relevant regulations, comprehensively consider the actual situation and needs, andRuralThe effect and influence of the construction of public welfare undertakings to determine and standardize the charging matters. Compared to the towns, our countryRuralThe development of the villagers is still in a backward stageEconomyIncome is limited and income levels are not high. Therefore, we should adhere to the principle of no charge for non-essential collection, and when it is really necessary to collect it, we must manage the funds openly and transparently, and ensure that what is taken from the people is for the people, and we must not let what has been abolished in ancient times."Poll tax"Comeback.

However, similar situations have emerged in some places in recent years, raising concerns about whether this unfair tax burden is making a comeback.
For JiangsuYanchengRuralIn the case of the imposition of a "population fee", we need to pay attention to the legality and transparency of this act. Collecting taxes and fees in accordance with the law is the right and obligation of the first class, but it also needs to follow certain procedures and principles. For this fee, the local government must ensure that the collection is legal, solicit the opinions of the villagers, ensure that the use of the fee is open and transparent, and truly use it for the development of the villagers' cause of benefiting the people.
On the one hand, the levy of population fees needs to have a legal basis and comply with relevant regulations and policies. The "Notice on Implementing the Administrative Measures for Villagers' Financing and Labor Raising for One Matter" issued by Jiangsu Province is the basis for the local government to implement one-matter-one-discussion fund-raising and labor raising. According to the requirements of the notice, the local government should clarify the scope of use of the financing costs, and ensure that the costs are open, transparent and acceptableMass supervision
On the other hand, the collection of population fees should fully solicit the opinions of villagers and ensure their right to know and participate. The villagers' position in this decision-making should be taken seriously, and they have the right to express their views on the legality and reasonableness of the levy of fees. Local governments should establish effective communication channels, solicit opinions through villagers' representatives and democratic procedures, and give fair, transparent and rigorous handling in the decision-making process.
In addition, the fees collected must be used openly and transparently for public welfare and the actual needs of villagers. There is a need to ensure that the purpose for which the funds are used is clear and that they truly benefit the masses. At the same time, there is a need to establish effective monitoring and auditing mechanisms to ensure that the use of funds is effectively monitored and managed to prevent abuse and waste.

At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the principle of fairness when collecting population fees. The construction of public facilities is for the well-being of all villagers, so it is necessary to avoid burdening specific groups with excessive costs and ensure that the cost is shared fairly and reasonably.
For recent JiangsuYanchengRuralIn the controversy over the imposition of "population fee", we need to comprehensively consider the actual situation and actual needs of the local area, as well as the legality, transparency and necessity of the levy fee. **When raising funds, the opinions of the villagers should be listened to, the funds should be managed openly and transparently, and the funds should be used to ensure that the funds are usedRuralThe development of public welfare undertakings truly benefitsFarmersRuralThe construction of public welfare undertakings is rightRuraldevelopment is crucial, but in the process of financing and using funds, it is necessary to ensure fairness and rationality and avoid givingRuralResidents bring unnecessaryEconomyBurden.
