The STA consistently conducts in-depth learning of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, instructs tax staff across the country to study recent speeches,important instructions and statements of General Secretary Xi Jinping, so as to keep in mind that the tax authority is first a political organ. The STA resolutely establishes Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the CPC Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishes the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The STA firmly upholds Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the CPC Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and upholds the CPC Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Aiming at studying, publicizing and implementing the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, the STA has organized and conducted a wide discussion on how tax modernization can serve the Chinese modernization in the tax system and the STA has made a practical plan for achieving tax modernization guided by the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress. With a high level of political consciousness, the STA accepts inspection from the central government,shoulders primary responsibilities, and completes the three major tasks of self-examination and rectification, targeted rectification of problems and in-depth rectification. The STA completes the tasks according to the Two Year Plan for High-Quality Development in Party Building, further optimizes the mechanisms and systems for “Strengthening Party building by Vertical Collaboration and Horizontal Work Integration” and implement in trial the in depth integration of Party-building with tax work in some tax departments, so as to give full play to the guiding role of Party building and continuously improve the efficiency of Party building in tax authorities. In the 2022 Party Building work assessment by the local government, 100%,98% and 94% of tax authorities at the provincial level, the municipal level and the county level were ranked as “Outstanding”.
To resolve problems and challenges in Party building in tax authorities, including “dual leadership system lacking efective coordination”,decline of pressure and progressive weakening of responsibilities after being passed through multiple hierarchies, the Party Committee of the STA proposed a working mechanism of “Strengthening Party-building by Vertical Collaboration and Horizontal Work Integration”in July 2016, which featured joint efforts of the tax authorities and the local governments in properly conducting Party building work and team building with the former taking initiative and the latter at the center. In 2018, after the reform of tax collection and administration systems,the STA adjusted and improved the above mentioned mechanism in time. Tax authorities would take the primary responsibility and the work of various departments are led by both local governments and superior tax authorities.Vertically, a mode of collaboration in Party building work is formed which includes both the collaboration between Party committee of the superior tax authority and of the subordinate tax authority and the collaboration between the Party committee of the local governments where the superior and subordinate tax authorities reside and their work departments and sections, focusing on resolving the problem of insufficiency in implementing the primary responsibilities. Horizontally, seven aspects of integration have been realized including the integration of Party building with Party conduct, Party building in local governments with Party building in the tax system, Party building with personnel management, Party building with law enforcement supervision and internal control, Party building with staff education and training, Party building with performance management and Party building with tax work, focusing on resolving the problem of lack of strong coordination and cooperation among departments. As a result,the STA can see a more orderly coordination between superior and subordinate tax authorities and between different departments, more efficient delegation of responsibilities from the superior to the subordinate and more effective cooperation between tax staff. In recent years,with continuous improvement and effective implementation, the mechanism and institutional system of “Strengthening Party-building by Vertical Collaboration and Horizontal Work Integration” achieved remarkable results.Arranged by the State Organs Work Committee of CPC Central Committee, the STA shared its experiences in a speech in the conference of Party work and discipline inspection work of central and governmental departments in 2019. Ding Xuexiang, the secretary of State Organs Work Committee of CPC Central Committee, expressed his acknowledgement of the mechanism and institutional system when he led a work group to conduct research in the STA in 2020. After specialized research of the mechanism and institutional system in 2021, the Organization Department of CPC Central Committee specially promoted this mechanism nationwide by issuing Report of Work and published the full text on the Top News column of People’s Daily and on the headline of China Organization and Personnel Journal , which attracted widespread attention.In 2023, the Strengthening Party-building by Vertical Collaboration and Horizontal Work Integration—Exploration and Practice of the Tax System in Enhancing and Improving Party Building was published and distributed by the Central Party School Press. The book made an in-depth analysis of the intrinsic mechanism,major requirements and key measures of“Strengthening Party-building by Vertical Collaboration and Horizontal Work Integration”and the experiences and approaches of tax authorities across the nation in utilizing this mechanism to maximize the leading role of Party building, improve the efficacy and efficiency of work and achieve remarkable results in serving economic development.
