There is a joke circulating in some community neighborhood committees in Wuhou District, Chengdu: "Congratulations, your neighborhood Committee finally has the conditions to become the defendant." Ah, congratulations on becoming the defendant?
On March 26th, the cover journalist learned that the director of the neighborhood committee, as a mass autonomous organization, participated in the "Work Conference on Issuing the Certificate of Unified Social Credit Code for Special Legal Person of Grass-roots Mass Autonomous Organizations in Wuhou District" and received the "Certificate of Special Legal Person Code" issued by the civil affairs department.
The issuance of "Certificate of Unified Social Credit Code for Special Legal Persons of Grassroots Mass Autonomous Organizations" indicates that the special legal person status of neighborhood committees has been clearly defined by civil law for the first time since the founding of New China.
After receiving the code certificate, the representative of the director of the community neighborhood Committee spoke. The director of Balu Community Neighborhood Committee took the stage and said: "With a special ID card, we can carry out social and economic activities equally within the authority given by law."
The cover journalist learned that there was no code certificate in the past: since the State Council implemented the "three certificates in one" (business license, organization code certificate and tax registration certificate) in 20 15, the organization code certificate of the community neighborhood Committee as an unincorporated unit has not been changed after its expiration; After the change of 20 18, the newly elected director of the neighborhood Committee can do without a license; Unable to list bank accounts; The annual review of the community mini WeChat official account cannot provide valid documents; Due to business needs, when the other party asks for the credit code, the staff often spread their hands and say, we don't have it. All these have restricted the normal business development of community neighborhood committees. From 20 17 to 10, the special legal person status of neighborhood committees as mass autonomous organizations is defined by the general principles of civil law, which is a historic breakthrough.
According to Li Lin, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Wuhou District, Wuhou District completed the information collection of 87 community neighborhood committees on 20 17, and entered it into the unified credit code management system of village (neighborhood) committees on 20 18 and 18. Issuing a unified social credit code certificate is the guarantee to promote standardization construction and social governance system according to law.
At the distribution site, lawyer Zhao, the legal adviser of Wuhou District People's Government, trained the community directors from the aspects of legal person rights, obligations and risks. In response to the directors' statement that village (neighborhood) committees do not pay taxes, Mr. Zhao explained that the income generated in daily economic activities will not be exempted from tax because it is a village (neighborhood) Committee. When I heard that the community not only has civil liability, but also may bear criminal liability, the directors present were full of opinions. Cao Jindong Road, director of the community neighborhood committee, said: "We have the right and obligation to obtain the unified code certificate of special legal persons, but there are also risks, so our responsibility is even greater. We must take responsibility in our work, seize the historical opportunity, make good use of the Pass, and strive to serve the community neighborhood committees in the legal, standardized and digital era.
