Interpretation of issues related to the collection and payment management of travel meals and local transportation expenses

Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Finance, the Office of the State Administration of Taxation and the Office of the Zhongzhi Administration jointly issued the Notice on Regulating the Collection and Payment Management of Travel Meals and Local Transportation Expenses (No.114 [2119] of the Finance Office)

The relevant issues are now interpreted as follows: It is a pragmatic measure that the Ministry of Finance conscientiously implements the spirit of the eight central regulations and a series of important instructions from the leaders, and further concretizes, institutionalizes and standardizes the spirit of the eight central regulations and the requirements of strict economy and anti-waste by improving the system of strict economy and anti-waste, and enhances pertinence, operability and feasibility.

since 2113, the Ministry of finance has issued a series of documents, such as the measures for the administration of travel expenses of central and state organs (No.531 [2113] of Caixing Bank), to continuously improve and refine the management of travel expenses. The first is to refine the standards. The accommodation fee standard will be refined to the prefecture level, and at the same time, the accommodation fee floating standard will be formulated in some cities during the peak season, and precise management will be implemented. The second is dynamic adjustment. According to the actual situation of market price, the accommodation fee standard should be raised and adjusted in time, and efforts should be made to solve the long-standing problem of standard lag in the past and maintain the applicability of the standard. The third is supporting convergence. In line with the official reception management regulations and the reform of the official car system, it is clear that the dining and local traffic of business travelers should be solved by themselves, and the reception unit should pay the fee for assisting in the arrangement. The fourth is to strengthen management. Improve the management of business trip approval, strictly reimburse financial affairs, strengthen supervision and accountability, and focus on solving problems such as the transfer of travel expenses in the past.

At present, the implementation of the travel expenses system is generally good, and the problems of shifting travel expenses, out-of-scope and over-standard reception and the resulting "four winds" have been effectively curbed, but there are some problems to be solved in the collection and return of travel meals and local transportation expenses. To implement the requirements put forward in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, such as "building a systematic, scientific and standardized system with effective operation", "consolidating and expanding the spiritual achievements of implementing the eight central regulations, and continuing to rectify the' four winds' problem", it is necessary to further refine the specific provisions on the collection and payment of travel meals and local transportation fees, and enhance the binding force and operability. To this end, the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation and the Zhongzhi Administration Bureau, on the basis of extensively soliciting opinions and suggestions, formulated and promulgated the Notice on Regulating the Management of Travel Meals and Local Transportation Fees.
