财政部 国家税务总局关于转发《国务院关于调整金融保险业税收政策有关问题的通知》的通知
财政部、国家税务总局



现将《国务院关于调整金融保险业税收政策有关问题的通知》（国发〔1997〕5号）转发给你们，请遵照执行。
为了更好地贯彻执行国务院通知精神，进一步规范金融保险业的税收政策，现将有关金融保险业营业税问题一并明确如下：
一、关于对经济特区内（包括上海浦东新区和苏州工业园区，下同）的外商投资和外国金融企业）（以下简称外资金融机构）来源于特区内、外营业收入的划分问题
经济特区内的外资金融机构来源于特区的收入，是指外资金融机构直接为设在本特区内的单位提供金融保险劳务所取得的营业收入；来源于特区外的收入，是指外资金融机构直接为设在本特区外的单位提供金融保险劳务所取得的营业收入。
经济特区内的外资金融机构取得的来源于特区内、外的营业收入应当分别核算；未分别核算或不能分别核算的，一律视为来源于特区外的营业收入征收营业税。
二、关于逾期贷款纳税义务发生时间问题
金融机构的逾期贷款纳税义务发生的时间，为纳税人取得利息收入权利的当天，对超过催收贷款核算年限的逾期贷款，可按实际收到的利息收入征收营业税。
催收贷款的核算年限按财务制度的有关规定执行。
三、关于融资租赁业务营业额问题
纳税人经营融资租赁业务，以其向承租者收取的全部价款和价外费用（包括残值）减同租方承担的出租货物的实际成本后的余额为营业额。
出租货物的实际成本，色括由出租方承担的货物购入价、关税、增值税、消费税、运杂费、安装费、保险费等费用。
四、关于保险公司办理储金业务的征税问题
储金业务，是指保险公司在办理保险业务时，不是直接向投保人收取保费，而是向投保人收取一定数额的到期应返还的资金（称为储金），以储金产生的收益作为保费收入的业务。
储金业务的营业额，以纳税人在纳税期内的储金平均余额乘以人民银行公布的一年期存款利率折算的月利率计算。储金平均余额为纳税期期初储金余额与期末余额之和乘以50％。
按上述规定计算储金业务营业额后，在计算保险企业其他业务营业额时，应相应从“保费收入”帐户营业收入中扣除储金业务的保费收入。
纳税人将收取的储金加以运用取得的收入，凡属于营业税征税范围的，应按有关规定征收营业税。
五、关于出纳长款、结算罚款的征税问题
对金融机构的出纳长款收入，不征收营业税。
对金融机构当期实际收到的结算罚款、罚息、加息等收入应并入营业额中征收营业税。
六、关于对贴现、押汇业务的征税问题
对金融机构办理贴现、押汇业务按“其他金融业务”征收营业税。金融机构从事再贴现、转贴现业务取得的收入，属于金融机构往来，暂不征收营业税。
七、关于金融机构取的帐单费、凭证费、邮电费等费用的征税问题
根据《中华人民共和国营业税暂行条例实施细则》第五条的有关规定，金融机构在提供金融劳务的同时，销售帐单凭证、支票等属于应征收营业税的混合销售行为，应将此项销售收入并入营业额中征收营业税。
根据《中华人民共和国营业税暂行条例》第五条及《中华人民共和国营业税暂行条例实施细则》第十四条的有关规定，金融机构提供金融保险业劳务时代收的邮电费也应并入营业额中征收营业税。
八、关于委托贷款业务代扣代缴营业税的问题
金融机构接受其他单位或个人的委托，为其办理委托贷款业务时，如果将委托方的资金转给经办机构，由经办机构将资金贷给使用单位或个人，在征收营业税时，由最终将贷款发放给使用单位或个人并取得贷款利息的经办机构代扣委托方应纳的营业税，并向经办机构所在地主管税务机
关解缴。
九、关于初保、分保业务的征税问题
按照《中华人民共和国营业税暂行条例实施细则》第二十一条的规定，保险业实行分保险的，初保业务以全部保费收入减去付给分保人的保费后的余额为营业额。为了简化手续，在实际征收过程中，可对初保人按其向投保人收取的保费收入全额（即不扣除分保费支出）征税，对分保人
取得的分保费收入不再征收营业税。
