Voice Of Enterprises: Can Export Tax Rebate Be Faster?

As adjustment

Efficiency variation under policy

"The current export tax rebate rate is obviously faster."

Yu Yuefeng, general manager of Shanghai Phoenix import and Export Co., Ltd. talked about the current situation of export tax rebates.

There are a lot of export enterprises that share the same feelings with Yu Yuefeng.

A salesperson in Chongqing Jinhui ceramic factory told a reporter that as Chongqing was located in the inland area, most of the export goods of the enterprises had to be exported at different places, while the customs clearance and collection of customs clearance took place longer. It took one or two months to go from customs clearance to customs clearance. "But now we obviously feel that this process is accelerating."

In recent two years, Chongqing has been accelerating the efficiency of export tax rebate.

For example, through the implementation of the export tax rebate remote declaration and online declaration services, the National Tax Bureau of the open area has made it easier for enterprises to declare the export tax rebates. At the same time, the establishment of a bonded port area has shortened the tax rebate cycle. The latest example is the completion of the successful West Wing comprehensive bonded zone.

In this area, goods exported through bayonet can be directly exported to Chongqing's IRS for export in the future, and it can save at least 15 days.

Similar to the above salesmen of Jinhui ceramics, many interviewed enterprises confessed: "the whole tax refund application process is smoother and the procedure is simpler."

The fact is that relevant government departments are working hard to improve the quality and efficiency of export tax rebate management.

In 2007, the State Administration of Taxation launched the "State Taxation Administration's opinions on standardizing and simplifying the manual examination of export tax rebates". At the beginning of 2009, it issued the notice on coping with the financial crisis and making the export tax rebate work well, and asked all the tax departments to further improve the work efficiency of the export tax rebate. In the same year, it decided to simplify the filing management system for export goods (Exemption) tax documents.

Although it has not had much impact on exports, the chief executive of an industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturer in Dongguan still feels that the export tax rebate rate should be faster, because this will help improve the capital turnover capacity of enterprises.

However, an official of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce has also pointed out hidden dangers hidden behind the effective tax refund: the acceleration of the export tax rebate and the loopholes in relevant reviews may give tax fraud victims a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

The relevant departments must be vigilant.

It is suggested that the relevant tax refund standards be refined.

Zhou Hanbo of Hubei Sanhuan Automobile Investment Co., Ltd. told reporters that the overall process of tax rebate for export enterprises can be divided into two parts: the first is the process of enterprise's foreign exchange collection, that is, the process of collecting tax vouchers required by enterprises; and the two is the process of enterprises applying for tax rebates to obtain tax rebates.

As a result, the speed of tax rebate also depends on two factors: first, the speed of obtaining tax rebates for export enterprises, and the two is the speed of tax authorities examining tax rebates and handling tax rebates.

In accordance with the Circular of the State Administration of Taxation on the administration of tax refund (Exemption) for exported goods, when exporting enterprises declare tax refund (Exemption) for export tax rebates, the export tax refund (Exemption) tax returns and related information should be accompanied by two tickets and two singlets, that is, export sales invoice, value-added tax special invoice, customs declaration form and foreign exchange verification form.

"The whole process will take a lot of time."

Zhou Hanbo said.

Wang Jixian, a researcher in the mechanical industry information research institute, told reporters that the speed of the export tax rebate is basically a technical problem: "although the development of the electronic process of customs is developing rapidly, the export tax rebate is also related to the tax department, and the latter is still a paper-based office procedure." Wang Jixian said, "we need to achieve interdepartmental networking as soon as possible."

According to the enterprises, export tax rebates still have some leeway in other aspects, such as further refining the tax refund standards for related products, and avoiding the "one size fits all" of the tax refund standards for primary or low-end products and high-tech products.

Mr. Xia, who is responsible for producing thermos cups in Harris, Zhejiang, told reporters that due to the different criteria for the vacuum cup and stainless steel single-layer insulation Cup, the export tax rebate will be affected.

"The export tax rebate rate of vacuum thermos cups is 13 percentage points, while the tax rebate rate of stainless steel single-layer thermos cups is only 9 percentage points. In some places, customs will classify the former into the latter category, which will greatly reduce the amount of tax rebates."

Mr. Xia said.

The problem raised by Mr. Xia is also a concentrated reflection of the enterprises interviewed.

Enterprises generally hope that the classification standard of export tax rebate products can be more clear.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce of the import and Export Chamber of mechanical and electrical products admitted to our reporter: "the customs tax number is only a few thousand. If you want to plug all the goods into it, there will be" unfair "in the classification, and some tax numbers will not change in time because of the emergence of new products.

In addition, Wang Jixian also pointed out that the export tax rebate was previously fully undertaken by the central government, but after the implementation of the tax sharing system (before 2004, the central and local export tax rebate burden ratio was 75:25 and 2005 adjusted to 92.5:7.5), there was a problem. For export delivery enterprises, especially in the central and western enterprises, their ports were not in the province, and coastal areas were not the main body of the value-added tax, but they should give enterprises tax rebates.

Many coastal provinces and cities are dissatisfied with this.

Tax rebate policy must be stable

With regard to the adjustment of the export tax rebate policy, most enterprises expressed the hope that the tax rebate rate would remain stable.

Wang Ruiyi, director of international business at JOYOU Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd., said he did not expect the export rebate rate to increase, but at least hoped to maintain the status quo, especially at the moment, the impact of the financial crisis has not yet completely dissipated, and there are many variables in the external market environment.

According to Wang Ruiyi, at present, the tax rebate rate of faucets is 15%, and the sprinkler is 13%.

Zheng Dexing, sales manager of Shandong Shanhai glass products Co., Ltd. told reporters that he hoped that the export tax rebate rate should not be lowered again, otherwise it would have a great impact on the profits of enterprises.

"Changes in tax rates do interfere with business expectations, because the price of products and the profit and loss accounting of operations are uncertain.

In addition, sometimes there are orders, and the tax rebate rate has been reduced. Even if the tax rebate rate reduction policy provides a certain pitional period, the price of the international market is competitive, and users still require the enterprise to sign the contract at the original price, which will result in a loss.

Wang Jixian said.
