摘要: 我国推动企业高质量发展的税收优惠政策多数偏向资本要素,而激励使用劳动要素的较少。前者通常不利于提升劳动收入份额,后者的影响又如何呢?对此,本文基于2008年薪酬抵税改革运用双重差分实证分析。研究发现:薪酬税收激励能提升劳动收入份额,在样本均值处约上升462%。该政策促进企业提高薪酬待遇,且普通员工受益大于管理层,并且对企业效率和效益均有正向影响。综合来看,此类税收优惠政策能更好兼顾高质量发展和共同富裕,践行“在高质量发展中促进共同富裕”宜更多运用。

Abstract: Most of China's preferential tax policies to promote high-quality development are biased towards encouraging enterprises to use capital factors,while relatively few encourage enterprises to use labor factors Literatures find that although the former type of tax preference can improve the production efficiency of enterprises,but they usually have an unexpected negative impact on the share of labor income What is the impact of the latter type of tax preference? Clarifying this issue is of great significance for promoting common prosperity in highquality development
Based on the quasi-natural experiment of the 2008 salary tax credit reform,this paper selects the annual data of China's non-financial Ashare listed companies from 2003 to 2014,empirically analyzes how salary tax incentives affect labor income share and enterprise production efficiency by differenceindifference,and constructs a mathematical model to derive the mechanism The empirical analysis shows as follows:First,the salary tax incentive imposed by the salary tax credit reform can increase the share of labor income,and the increase rate at the sample mean is about 462% Second,the salary tax incentives promote enterprises to improve their remuneration packages,and the benefit of ordinary employees is significantly greater than that of management Third,the salary tax incentives have a significant positive impact on the production efficiency of enterprises,which is mainly manifested in improving the labor productivity and per capita performance of enterprises
The above empirical analysis results have passed a series of robustness tests,such as using alternative variable measures,conducting PSMDID regressions,and conducting placebo test,etc On the whole,the salary tax incentives imposed by the salary tax credit reform are conducive to increasing the share of labor income on one hand,and have a positive impact on the production efficiency and efficiency of enterprises on the other hand The findings implicate that tax preference encouraging enterprises to use labor factors ultimately promotes the transformation and upgrading of enterprises to a highquality and highefficiency structure,and can better balance the goals of common prosperity and highquality development
Based on the above findings,this paper puts forward the following policy suggestions for the adjustment direction and focus of China's future preferential tax policies:First,government optimize the structure of tax policies and appropriately increase the preferential tax policies to encourage the input of labor factors of market entities Second,it is necessary to use the preferential tax policies for market entities and the preferential tax policies for individual workers simultaneously Third,policy makers adhere to the system concept and enhance the synergy between preferential tax policy tools and other types of policy tools
