Two Ministries To Study Import Tax Reduction Experts Predict The First Reduction Of Cosmetics And So On

Imported goods of great concern tax rate The problem has finally made substantial progress. Yao Jian, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, told reporters after a regular press conference yesterday that the Ministry of Commerce has lowered its performance. Import tariff As an urgent issue to expand imports and enter the research stage, the specific process is not disclosed. The Ministry of finance of the Ministry of finance also confirmed the news. The director of the Division said that it takes a long time from theoretical research to the completion of revision and practical application.

Relevant experts predict that, combined with the current domestic demand and industry development, washing products, agricultural products, Latest fashion Leather products, jewellery watches, cosmetics and other fields are expected to take the lead in cutting down, but cars and clean energy products should continue to maintain the current tax rate. At the same time, once the import tax rate is adjusted, the purchasing power of the outflow is expected to return again.

Yao Jian said, "the key to expanding import policy is to facilitate trade facilitation. At present, China is the largest. Trade While exporting countries share our export interests, we also need to share profits with other countries in a mutually beneficial and win-win way, and reducing some import tax rates is an urgent task.

"At the higher import tax rate, the domestic price of the same commodity is higher than that of the foreign market, which makes China's purchasing agency very vigorous, but this will eventually affect the domestic tax revenue loss." Zhao Ping, deputy director of the Ministry of consumer economics of the Ministry of Commerce, said that the most important thing is to distinguish the import tax rate from the perspective of industry and demand. It depends on lowering the tax rate and expanding imports will have an impact on domestic industries.

In fact, another urgent need to reduce import taxes is the purchasing power of outflows and the impact on domestic consumption. According to the data monitoring report of China's e-commerce market in 2010, due to the high tax burden, the difference between domestic and overseas prices is too high, which makes more and more people begin to go abroad to buy the goods they need. The buying and selling trend is once popular. In 2010 alone, the market regulation of overseas purchasing amounted to 12 billion yuan, of which cosmetics and luxury goods were the majority. Even if the tax rate was calculated at 40%, the annual tax loss would be as high as several billion yuan.

At present, China's import tax includes tariff, value-added tax and consumption tax. Liu Huan, vice president of the school of Taxation, Central University of Finance and Economics, looks at the three tax categories of import duties, which is expected to be reduced by tariffs. Previously, in order to protect the domestic industry, China has imposed high tariffs on some products, such as milk powder, with a tax rate of up to 57%. However, the current domestic dairy market is frequently exposed to food safety problems, reducing import tariffs and expanding dairy imports, which can stimulate the development of the domestic market.

In Zhao Ping's view, since China's accession to the WTO 10th anniversary, the total tariff level of imports has dropped from 15.3% to 9.8%, and the overall tariff can be reduced very little. The consumption tax is a tax rate that is expected to decrease. China's import consumption tax rate was set up 20 years ago. It charged a high tax rate of 30% for luxury goods. However, with the increase of national consumption ability and the increase of domestic product supply, there was no absolute luxury. This part of tax rate should be reduced, such as cosmetics, jewelry and watches, fashion and leather goods.

In addition, Yao Jian said that the expansion of import policy should also enhance the facilitation of the customs inspection and quarantine, the issuance of commodity licenses, extend the working hours of import customs clearance from the current 8 hours to 24 hours, and at the same time promote import and export trade financing, and strengthen financial support for imports.
