党的二十届四中全会提出:要抓住新一轮科技革命和产业变革机遇,抢占科技发展制高点,发展新质生产力。人工智能的广泛应用对生产方式的影响巨大,机器人的应用优点是提升了社会效率,但也带来了就业结构的冲击、税基被侵蚀、收入分配差距扩大这些社会问题,这使得对其进行征税进而维护税收公平成为紧迫议题。然而,由于机器人法律性质尚不明确,对其征税面临着纳税主体资格存疑、课征法律性质不明、税收征管体系缺失等困境。对此,本文提出如下优化建议:当前应以“优化现有税制”为基本原则,通过明确纳税主体、明晰税收法律性质并完善税收征管体系等具体方式,将机器人相关活动纳入现行税制体系内进行调整与规范,从而促进科技发展的同时保障社会公共利益。
The 20th CPC Central Committee's fourth plenum called for seizing tech revolution opportunities to develop
new productive forces. While AI and robots boost efficiency, they also disrupt employment, erode tax bases, and widen
income gaps, necessitating robot taxation for fairness. Key obstacles include unclear legal status of robots, ambiguous
taxpayer identity and tax nature, and lack of collection systems. This paper suggests optimizing the current tax system
by clarifying taxpayer status and tax nature, and improving collection mechanisms to integrate robot-related activities,
balancing tech progress with public interest.
