相对贫困将成为继绝对贫困之后未来反贫困工作的重点,探寻解决相对贫困问题的合理财税政策工具值得关注。文章在相对贫困视角下,从税收和政府公共转移支付角度出发,对我国居民的相对贫困状况、收入再分配和财政工具致贫、获益水平进行了测算和分析。结果显示:全国和农村相对贫困和再分配状况有所改善,城市相对贫困有所加深;个税和社保缴费会加深相对贫困,而政府公共转移支付有利于降低相对贫困,转移支付再分配效应大于社保缴费和个税总体的再分配效应,且个税、社保缴费和转移支付对城镇和农村减贫和再分配的贡献有所差异;财政工具给居民带来的财政致贫可能会被财政获益所掩盖。财税工具对相对贫困和再分配的意义重大,且绝对贫困和相对贫困治理存在一脉相承的政策可行性,因此要重视财税政策的制定和调整,为再分配和相对贫困的改善助力。
