Under the impact of globalization, the concept of local governance arose, which altered the traditional, centralized government structure. Along with the development of economy, transportation, industries and urban areas, the life circles of local residents enlarged gradually. To increase governing efficiency, greater autonomic powers of city and county governments together with cross region cooperation have been considered. In fact, the merger and upgrade of a number of counties and cities to become 5 special municipalities will be effective on December 25, 2010. As a whole, in addition to greater autonomic power, these new municipalities are entitled to more financial independence as well. For a long time, the insufficiency of financial independence has been the core of local financial problem, which in turn, was due to inadequate self-owned resources. The appropriateness of the allocation of financial resources to the 5 new municipalities is the most concerned issue for now. The revision of The Law of Subdivision of Financial Income and Expenditure will directly affect the allocation of local financial resources and, in other words, financial independence.
Since the last revision of The Law of Subdivision of Financial Income and Expenditure in 2010, though the allocated tax revenue has increased in Kaohsiung City and County, general subsidies, on the other hand, has decreased, and new financial burdens are getting even more. As the analysis of this study, the proportion of self-owned financial resources of merged Kaohsiung City and County in the 2011 fiscal year does not exceed the proportion in fiscal year 2010 before the merger. It is verifiable that the enactment of the revised Law of Subdivision of Financial Income and Expenditure did not significantly increase the merged Greater Kaohsiung with its self-owned financial resources and is helpless in bringing up its financial capability. As a result, the merged Greater Kaohsiung should be endeavored to develop its own financial resources, so as to solve the problem of insufficient fund.
Aiming at the ways to develop self-owned financial resources and to bring up financial capability for the merged Greater Kaohsiung, a number of strategies are advised by this study, for instance, to levy taxes for carbon emission, to get subsidies and grants through special projects, to share 50% sales taxes with central government, to recalculate allocated tax revenue in accordance with the production of polluting industries¡Ketc.. Furthermore, based on the partnership of central and local financial cooperation, this study would like to present several suggestions for the central government to help resolve local financial problems, for instance, to establish local financial reconstruction foundation, to elevate tax burden ratio, to reinforce financial dicepline¡Ketc.
