Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Revenue and Taxation of the Chinese Empire In ancient times the taxes were levied in field produced, in manufactured silk, and in copper cash. The public accounts were kept in this threefold form, and this practice continued down to the time when paper currency was adopted. The system of paper currency, combined with copper cash, prevailed in keeping the public accounts through the middle ages till the Ming dynasty. After the year 1368, when Chu Tai-tsu became Emperor of China, the accounts began to be regularly kept in silver and copper cash. Paper currency was still recognised in the public accounts, but the main thing was silver from that time forward. Receipts and distribution of grain, silk stuffs, etc., were included. The public accounts being all drawn up in silver, the registers of taxes due are in every magistrate's office over this large country so constructed that silver always comes to the front. For example, now 1899, when the Bund at Shanghai has just been extended southward for a mile between the native city and the river those who had come into possession of the land newly recovered from the river were called on to pay for their occupation. Ten feet by five of land occupied for fifteen years was charged 300 taels; Occupiers for twenty years were made to pay 400 taels. Occupiers pay for foreshore which has come to them from the river. After fifteen and twenty years they will pay again for the new foreshore which by that time will have been made by silting. The obligations to pay taxes in the future are all carefully entered in taels of silver. The government suffers the loss of silver should it fall still further in value. On September 16th, 1898, an edict appeared in Chinese newspapers directing the Board of Revenue accounts to be published annually in the Gazette.

Download or read book Taxation and Governmental Finance in Sixteenth Century Ming China written by Ray Huang and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1974 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1974, this is a detailed study of the financial administration of the Chinese government during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), with particular attention to the sixteenth century, a topic about which very little has been published either in Chinese or any Western language. Professor Huang has worked through an enormous quantity and variety of source material - in particular the 133 substantial volumes of the Ming Veritable Records - and has compared the documents on financial matters with the entries in local gazetteers. The complicated workings of government finance present great difficulties to all specialists in Chinese financial and administrative history and in different branches of local Chinese history from the fifteenth century onwards. Professor Huang's study will provide all such researchers with an authoritative work of reference.

Book excerpt: This monograph offers a detailed analysis of the creation, pilot implementation, and possible wide adoption of the real property tax at the local level in China. Starting in 2003, as China’s economy gradually recovered from the Asian financial crisis that started in 1998, the real property market entered a period of rapid expansion, followed immediately by rampant speculation, rising housing costs, and official corruption. Over the last ten years, the price of real property in most cities has more than tripled, especially in metropolitan areas. In an effort to curb this, the government has instituted a number of property-market controls, including property tax pilot programs in Shanghai and Chongqing. While this is the latest of a number of fiscal reforms, it is a very important one that carries with it the ability to change the landscape of public finance, intergovernmental relations, and local governance in China. It represents a fundamental change in the provision of public services, the relationship between local governments and tax payers, and the status of localities in the government structure. Taking a public choice perspective, the authors argue that the local property tax should be used not solely as a means of controlling housing prices but should be fully employed as a fiscal and budgetary institution that will contribute to mitigating multifarious socio-economic problems resulting from economic growth, rapid urbanization, and widening income disparity. As this program is the first of its kind, so this book is the first detailed study of property tax in China; as such, it will appeal to researchers of public finance and public policy. It will also be of great interest to policymakers in China and in other countries that are considering adopting or reforming their versions of the local property tax. It fills the gap in a growing body of literature about the inner workings of Chinese economics and policy.
Download or read book Fiscal Regimes and the Political Economy of Premodern States written by Andrew Monson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the new fiscal history, this book represents the first global survey of taxation in the premodern world. What emerges is a rich variety of institutions, including experiments with sophisticated instruments such as sovereign debt and fiduciary money, challenging the notion of a typical premodern stage of fiscal development. The studies also reveal patterns and correlations across widely dispersed societies that shed light on the basic factors driving the intensification, abatement, and innovation of fiscal regimes. Twenty scholars have contributed perspectives from a wide range of fields besides history, including anthropology, economics, political science and sociology. The volume's coverage extends beyond Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East to East Asia and the Americas, thereby transcending the Eurocentric approach of most scholarship on fiscal history.
