On June 2, the Ministry of Finance held a special press conference on financial support to stabilize the economic market.Assistant Minister of Finance Owen Han said that since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Finance, together with relevant departments, has fully implemented the large-scale value-added tax refund policy, and continuously accelerated the progress of tax refund implementation.Data from the tax department shows that from April 1 to May 31 this year, about 1.34 trillion yuan of tax credits have been refunded.
Owenhan said that on the basis of implementing the policies already issued, the State Council has decided to further strengthen the tax rebate policy, including wholesale and retail industries, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, accommodation and catering, residential services, repairs and other industries. Seven industries including service industry, education, health and social work, culture, sports and entertainment are included, and the tax rebate will increase by 142 billion yuan, and the total new tax rebate for the year will reach about 1.64 trillion yuan.
Bai Yanfeng, Dean of the School of Finance and Taxation of Central University of Finance and Economics, said in an interview with a reporter from Securities Daily that as an important policy innovation in my country's large-scale tax and fee reduction policies in recent years, the tax credits have been implemented in the previous six industries. Enterprises and other microeconomic entities are generally well received, and they have also played a good role in stabilizing the economy in the context of greater downward pressure on the economy.To this end, the state has carried out "expansion and increment" of the tax rebate policy, which is not only a further increase in the benefits of the previous policy, but also an effective hedge against the economic downturn.
Bai Yanfeng believes that from the perspective of the seven newly added industries, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, as well as wholesale and retail industries are closely related to "protecting people's livelihood".Against the background of high inflation in some foreign countries, my country has taken precautions, made pre-adjustment and fine-tuning of policies, and made efforts to ensure the livelihood of the people in advance, which will help to stabilize the domestic price level in an all-round way and protect the basic people's livelihood.In addition, other living service industries such as accommodation, catering, and residential services have been greatly affected by the epidemic. Increasing policy support for them will also help to preserve economic entities and win the future.
A few days ago, the State Administration of Taxation launched a nationwide special survey and assessment on the implementation of the new combined tax and fee support policy, and conducted online questionnaire surveys and face-to-face "face-to-face" surveys on 15,160 taxpayers of different industries, scales and registration types across the country. "Interview.The survey results show that more than 98% of eligible enterprises have enjoyed preferential tax and fee policies; 92.75% of taxpayers and payers expressed a "strong sense of gain" or "a strong sense of gain" for the new combined tax and fee support policy.
Liu Xingguo, a researcher at the Research Department of the China Enterprise Confederation, told the "Securities Daily" reporter that the retained part of the input VAT is a relatively large capital occupation for enterprises. Timely refund can significantly ease the pressure on enterprises' capital turnover. Help enterprises to stabilize production.It should be said that the sooner the refund is completed, the more conducive it will be to help companies tide over difficulties and the more conducive to the realization of the goal of stable growth throughout the year.The purpose of ensuring that the tax credits for newly added industries are basically completed in July is to alleviate the urgent need for capital turnover of enterprises as soon as possible, thereby helping to stabilize production and growth.
"The state emphasizes that the tax rebate policy is basically in place in July, which will help make the policy effect gradually appear in the second half of the year, and strive to make the annual economic growth show a 'U-shaped' trend, so as to stabilize the economic market throughout the year." Bai Yanfeng said .
Liu Xingguo believes that with the help of various tax reduction and rebate policies, the operation of enterprises will improve.In particular, the accelerated implementation of the retained tax rebate policy is a timely help for enterprises, which greatly eases the pressure on enterprise development.
Owenhan said that in the next step, financial departments at all levels will strengthen coordination and cooperation with taxation, the People's Bank of China and other departments, accelerate the promotion of tax rebates, release policy dividends as soon as possible, help enterprises to solve difficulties, enhance the endogenous driving force for development, and promote The economy is operating within a reasonable range.
