[摘要]现阶段,我国商业健康保险的发展受到税收政策的制约。美国商业健康保险税收政策所取得的绩效及目前改革的动向,能够为我国商业健康保险税收政策的改进提供借鉴。今后,为了更好地满足广大人民群众日益增长的健康保障需求,我国的商业健康保险税收政策可以从以下几方面寻求改进:在税率、税基设计上将健康保险区别于其他险种;对小规模保险公司予以税收优惠;对健康保险购买者实行税收扣减政策;建立减免个人购买商业健康保险所得税的积极有效机制。 [关键词]保险税收;商业健康保险;医疗保险 [中图分类号] F840.62 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2006)08-0012-03 Abstract: At present, the development of commercial health insurance in China is restricted by the taxation policy. The evolution and direction of the American taxation policy on commercial health insurance provides us with experiences and indication on how to reform China’s taxation system. In order to satisfy increasing needs for health insurance, the related taxation policy in our country should be reformed from the following aspects. First, we should separate health insurance from other kinds of insurance in the design of tax rate and the tax base; Second, we can offer preferential tax policies to small insurance companies; Third, we can deduct the tax revenue towards the purchasers; Fourth, we can establish an effective system to reduce or exempt personal income tax when purchasing commercial health insurance.
