In accordance with the requirements of the reform of the mineral resources equity benefit system, the market-benchmark price of mineral rights granting fee has been released successively throughout the country since 2017.However, some enterprises and experts reflected that the regional gap of the market-benchmark price was large in practice.Taking coal, iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold as examples, the paper compared the market-benchmark price of different levy bases and classification adjustment coefficients, the regional differences between the market-benchmark price of mineral rights granting fee and the resource tax.The results show that the local difference of resource endowment, economic development level, industrial policy guidance and other factors have resulted in a certain degree of regional gap in the market-benchmark price, therefore, it is proposed to formulate the evaluation guidelines of the market-benchmark price, standardize and guide the local to improve the formulation of the market-benchmark price.At the same time, in order to implement the reform spirit of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council and safeguard the rights and interests of the state owners, a dynamic monitoring and adjustment mechanism for the market-benchmark price of mineral rights granting fee should be established to reflect the price fluctuations of mineral products and the changes in the mining rights market.
