Abstract

The institution supply is an important dimension of China's supply-side reform, in which the reform and optimization of tax system structure is an important measure to promote economic growth. This paper first reviewed the literatures about how the tax structure influences economic growth. Then, this paper used the reform of Chinese tax system as a starting point for the study, measured nearly 20 years of HP and HHI index to reflect the changes in tax structure, and analyzed the difference between the direct tax and the indirect tax on the economic growth. Finally, on the basis of the empirical conclusion of this paper, it put forward the corresponding policy suggestions.
