From what year did the agricultural payments end

It should be said that from January 1, 2006, the agricultural tax was abolished nationwide.

On December 29, 2005, the 19th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 10th National People's Congress passed a decision by a high vote to repeal the Regulations on Agricultural Taxes and abolish the agricultural tax from January 1, 2006, which means that the agricultural tax, which has lasted for more than 2,000 years in China, has formally gone into history. This marks the early realization of the central government's original goal of abolishing the agricultural tax within five years, and the end of the "imperial grain state tax" for farmers that has lasted for more than 2,000 years in China's history, as well as a brand-new stage of historical development in the distribution of the relationship between the state and farmers.

Agricultural tax is a kind of tax levied by the state on all units and individuals engaged in agricultural production and with agricultural income, commonly known as "public grain". Agricultural tax is levied in summer and autumn, and on February 22, 2006, the State Post Bureau issued a commemorative stamp with a face value of 80 cents called "Comprehensively Abolish Agricultural Tax," to celebrate the abolition of the Agricultural Tax Regulations as of January 1, 2006, which meant the abolition of agricultural tax in China after two years of history and the abolition of agricultural tax. This means the end of this traditional tax, which has been practiced in China for over 2,000 years. As an important initiative of the government to solve the "Three Rural Issues", the cessation of agricultural tax not only reduces the burden of farmers and increases their civil rights, but also reflects the principle of "fairness" in modern taxation, and is also in line with the principle of "industry feeding agriculture". industry to feed agriculture" trend.
