| The overall pattern of the complex and volatile international situation today bringserious imbalance of human and social development over the past decades, developedcountries unconstrained rapid development of the economy, high emissions, highpollution. Associated with long-term high-speed development of the economy, Chinahas also appeared in some of the economic and social problems cannot be ignored. Thenew situation requires new breakthroughs in the development significant adjustmentsto the process of modernization. Reform of the tax system is a breakthrough ineconomic and social reform and the first army.Based on this historical mission, theneed to open a new round of tax reform.This article belongs to optimize the scope of the tax structure, optimize the taxstructure in the past. At this stage, domestic scholars’ research has focused on theeconomic effects of the tax structure in the qualitative analysis of the sub-types oftaxes, a lack of quantitative analysis and comparison with the design of the structure ofthe tax department. Limited to single tax adjustment of personal income tax, theincome distribution effects of the tax structure is often overlooked set of tax structureoptimization. There are more studies are focusing on the relationship of the taxstructure optimization and economic growth, ignoring the tax structure and incomedistribution relationship. On the Fifth Session of the Eleventh National People’sCongress, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council: Deepen reform of the incomedistribution system, to reverse the trend of widening income gap as soon as possible.Tax structure optimization therefore bring about the transformation of the mode ofeconomic development, adjusting income distribution, strengthen environmentalprotection, and promote social harmony is the focus of this study.
