各省、自治区、直辖市和计划单列市国家税务局、地方税务局：
为加强个人所得税征收管理，规范扣缴义务人的代扣代缴行为，维护纳税人和扣缴义务人的合法权益，根据《中华人民共和国个人所得税法》及其实施条例、《中华人民共和国税收征收管理法》及其实施细则和税收有关规定，我局制定了《个人所得税全员全额扣缴申报管理暂行办法》，现印发给你们，请认真贯彻执行。现就贯彻执行中的有关问题通知如下：
一、充分认识实行个人所得税全员全额扣缴申报的重要意义
全员全额扣缴申报工作是新形势下提升个人所得税管理水平的突破口，也是个人所得税税制建设与征管改革的发展方向。各级税务机关要进一步转变观念、统一思想，从构建和谐社会、落实科学发展观、优化纳税服务、增强公众纳税意识的角度，充分认识全员全额扣缴申报管理工作的重要性。
二、完善配套措施，积极稳妥地分步推行全员全额扣缴申报
全员全额扣缴申报，涉及扣缴义务人和纳税人的数据信息多，工作量大。为此，各地税务机关应积极创造条件，完善和健全制度，充分利用各种信息化手段进行管理，本着先重点行业、企业，后一般行业、企业，先纳入管理后规范的原则，结合实际采取有效措施，有计划、有步骤、积极稳妥地全力推进全员全额扣缴申报管理工作。
三、加强税法宣传和辅导培训，为全员全额扣缴申报管理工作打下基础
各地应通过多种形式和各种途径加大宣传力度，做好辅导培训工作，进一步提高扣缴义务人和具体办税人员以及税务干部的业务能力和水平。特别是要根据扣缴义务人的具体情况，有针对性、有重点地做好宣传辅导工作，尤其突出扣缴义务人不履行义务应承担法律责任的宣传，以及办税人员扣缴工作具体操作的辅导。对尚未开展全员全额明细申报工作的扣缴义务人，各级税务机关应加大宣传力度，督促扣缴义务人尽早实行全员全额扣缴申报。
在执行过程中，各地应及时掌握存在的问题，采取有效措施予以解决，并及时报告总局。
