In the national examination, the tax system recruits a large proportion of personnel every year, and there are actually three major reasons why the tax system recruits more people. For institutional reasons, the tax system is vertically managed. You see the full name of the tax bureaus in various places, the full name of the Zhumadian Taxation Bureau is the Zhumadian Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation, and the Runan County Taxation Bureau is the Runan County Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation.
Therefore, the tax system from the state to the grassroots level is all recruited by the ** unified recruitment, that is, the national examination. The same is true for similar customs, banking and insurance regulatory commissions, railways, and public security, unlike other local departments or agencies, which are mainly recruited by provincial examinations. As a result, there are a lot of people in the tax system in the national examination. But this can't explain why there are so many people in the tax system, and if they can account for 2 3, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission and the customs will not.
Many people don't know that before 1983, we only had the Finance and Taxation Bureau, not the Taxation Bureau, yes, it was called the Finance and Taxation Bureau, not the Finance Bureau, and the finance and taxation were mixed together, and the institutional setup was often a reflection of the economic model. Because before the reform and opening up, the planned economy was basically implemented, and state-owned enterprises were the absolute main force of the economy. So at that time, it was mainly about paying profits, not taxes.
After the reform and opening up, marketization has been vigorously promoted, and on the one hand, the private economy has to increase, and it is impossible to hand over profits, so taxes must be collected. On the other hand, we think that state-owned enterprises should also operate in a market-oriented manner, and the market-oriented operation tax is part of the cost of the enterprise. Guess what the income tax rate was at that time? 55%。
The profit tax reform began in 1983, and since taxes are to be collected, it is necessary to increase the number of tax cadres. The original Finance and Taxation Bureau must not have enough manpower, what should I do? Expand your enrollment. In 1983, the Finance and Taxation Bureau began to be divided into the Finance Bureau and the Taxation Bureau, and a year in advance, that is, in 1982, it recruited tax cadres on a large scale, and the history is known as the 1982 tax system recruited a lot of people in those years, you calculate, they were about 20 years old at the time, and they just ushered in retirement now. If they retreat, won't they have to recruit someone to make up for it? That's a lot of them.
In 1994, the reform of the tax-sharing system and the separation of national and local taxes recruited a large number of people. Those people are also basically aging now, and they are gradually starting to retire, and they also need young people to take over. Moreover, it turns out that the national tax is recruited by the national examination, and the local tax is recruited by the provincial examination. As a result, in 2018, the national and local taxes were merged, and the places recruited in the provincial examination were naturally merged into the national examination, which increased the proportion of the number of people recruited by the tax system in the national examination. In recent years, the proportion of the tax system in the number of recruits for the national examination has continued to rise, accounting for 58% in 2020, 64% in 2021, and 67% in 20225%。
Although the people in the tax system, mainly at the grassroots level, are complaining that they are bitter and tired, and they all want to jump out. However, the current economic environment is relatively good within the system. Moreover, compared with other public service units, taxation is still a technical type of work, and there are corresponding positions if you really want to go out in the future. On the whole, if you take the public examination, it is a place worth visiting.
