A senior tax regulator said yesterday that China should cut some redundant preferential tax policies for foreign-funded enterprises and strengthen taxation management to accelerate taxation system reform and achieve sustainable tax increases.

　　Xu Shanda, deputy director of China's State Administration of Taxation, said some taxes for China's domestic enterprises are currently "higher" than those in other developed countries, and the relatively heavy tax burden will hamper their innovation ability as well as competitive edge in the international market. To resolve the problem, China should cut taxes on domestic enterprises, and meanwhile abolish the outdated preferential tax policies for foreign investment, Xu said.
