朱镕基总理在1999年《政府工作报告》中提出，要进一步完善财税体制改革，重点是全国清理和规范收费。今年税费改革要以交通和车辆收费改革为突破口。征收公路养路费等规费是我国交通建设和养护的主要资金来源，据统计，1997年全国涉及交通和车辆的各种收费资金高达1626亿元。 Premier Zhu Rongji put forward in the 1999 “Report on the Work of the Government,” that it is necessary to further improve the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, with the focus on cleaning up and standardizing fees throughout the country. Tax reform this year should take traffic and vehicle charging reform as a breakthrough. According to statistics, in 1997, various fees and charges related to transportation and vehicles nationwide reached as much as 162.6 billion yuan.
