The Export Tax Rebate Rate Of Textile And Apparel Industry Decreased By 5%.

Recently, China's textile and apparel industry is widely known.

In recent years, the government has increased the export tax rebate rate twice for pulling the industry.

Textile and clothing last year

In February 2009, around the world

A week ago, Nandu journalists contacted many garment manufacturers including Dongguan, Kaiping, Qingyuan and Xintang. The other side mentioned the problem of the reduction of export tax rebates.

Their tone is not a casual chat, more accompanied by worry.

What is behind the rapid growth figures of the textile and garment industry?

In the Qingxin County of Qingyuan, Guangdong, Mr. Cheng told reporters at the Shuanghui factory not far from the Nandu. Since the lean meat extract incident, many workers have left there to find another job.

"Many people have found me through various kinship."

Mr. Cheng runs a local township enterprise supply and marketing company, and there are some garment factories for export market.

"Actually, I am also short of people, but the order is somewhat unstable now."

He said that after the Spring Festival, labor shortage also appeared in his own business, plus RMB appreciation and raw material price rise.

However, this contradictory and complex mood seems to be very different from the export figures of our textile and garment industry in the first quarter of this year.

In May 13th, the China Textile Industry Association announced in the first quarter of 2011 the textile industry operation situation analysis conference, from 1 to March, China's textile and garment exports totaled 49 billion 866 million US dollars, up 23.68% over the same period last year, and the growth rate increased 8.24 percentage points over the same period last year.

Last year, China's textile and clothing exports have reached a very high level.

According to customs statistics, in 2010, China's export of textile and clothing (including textile yarn fabrics and products, textile and clothing and accessories) was US $206 billion 530 million, an increase of 23.6% over the previous year, and the annual export value exceeded the 200 billion mark for the first time.

In the four quarter, the cumulative export volume in 10 months exceeded the full year of 2009, and the cumulative export volume in 11 months exceeded that in 2008.

Theoretically, China's textile and garment export industry has been on the rebound track since the global economic crisis hit the bottom in 2009.

Mr. Cheng, who is engaged in garment industry, should be the beneficiary.

But according to a survey conducted by a reporter in Nandu, Mr. Cheng is not an individual garment export manufacturer.

In a clothing factory with 500 people in Xintang, Liang Pei, the head of the company, told Nandu reporters that he had 2/3's business from overseas, and that the monthly output of the peak season could reach 300 thousand. However, since March this year, the number of overseas oriented parts is only more than 70 thousand pieces per month.

Liang Pei said, especially those small factories that only make extra orders.

For the garment export industry in the statistical data, "Liang Jin" shook his head and said, "there must be some growth, but now many costs are rising, and the price can not be reached."

He stressed that it is not alone, but that money is not available.

"Do you have any definite news in your media circle? I heard that the export tax rebate rate should be reduced." what's interesting is that during the interview, Mr. Cheng and Liang Peijun told reporters in the south.

Dong Tianqiang, general manager of Guangdong Yuan Li Garments Co., Ltd., also mentioned the same topic. "There are reports on the Internet that the relevant departments of the state have passed the decision to reduce the textile export tax rebate from 16% to 11%, and will be implemented in 6 and July. Recently, the industry is discussing this matter."

It is understood that this year, the textile and garment export tax rebate rate reduction news from time to time will emerge.

The latest reason, "the export tax rebate from 16% to 11%." is not ruled out. The Chinese chemical fiber association has received tangible news.

But yesterday when Nandu reporters asked the association, the response was "the association can not be confirmed in advance".

Despite all the signs, the problem of export tax rebate reduction in textile and garment industry is still "catching up with shadows".

But if only the usual anecdotes do not let Liang Pei and Dong Tianqiang care so much.

"To tell the truth, I am not sure, because objectively, the current export situation of the industry has constituted the basis for reducing the tax rate."

Dong Tianqiang said.

In addition to the figures published in the "textile industry operation situation analysis conference" mentioned above, the view from the third party organizations is also optimistic about the textile and garment industry.

Guotai Junan reported that in addition to the significant increase in the total export volume of China's textile and apparel in the first quarter, the cotton price dropped to about 24600 yuan / ton, which made a significant positive impact on garment enterprises and intensified the cost pressure and profit margins of the textile industry.

Throughout the history of China's textile and garment export tax rebate rate has been cut down, in July 1995, textile and garment export tax rebate rate decreased from 13% to 10%; in December 1996, textile and garment export tax rebate rate from 10% to 6%; in January 2004, textile and clothing export tax rebate rate decreased from 15% to 17% to 13%; September 2006, textile export tax rebate rate decreased from 13% to 11%; July 2007, clothing export tax rebate from 13% to 11%. background is in the textile and garment export industry rapid development.

This makes the possible reduction of the export rebate rate that may occur again.

"When the state is considering lowering the export tax rebate rate, is it the same as it is now? Is there any shortage of labor? Is there any rapid increase in the cost of raw materials?" Dong Tianqiang believes that there are many unfavorable situations for textile and garment export enterprises that have only appeared since the beginning of this year.

Insiders have analyzed that once the export tax rebate rate is reduced by 5 percentage points, the loss of Chinese clothing orders will be greatly increased, and the space for raising prices will be even more limited.

In fact, as mentioned in the previous analysis conference on the textile industry in the first quarter of 2011, China's textile industry also mentioned these problems. In addition to the sustained development of the textile industry, the quality and efficiency have been steadily improved, and the overall opening has been well established, it is also mentioned that the impact of raw materials, employment, tax rates, foreign exchange, energy, environmental protection and other factors on the industry should be recognized. We should scientifically and effectively guard against risks and ensure healthy and stable development throughout the year.

"Every time we decide to adjust the tax rate, we have a careful consideration behind it."

Garment industry analyst Liao Jierong, at present, the export tax rebate rate of China's textile and garment industry is 16%, the highest tax rebate rate is 17%, that is, "zero tariff" is only one step away.

She believes that under such circumstances, it may be a large proportion of export enterprises which are still difficult to maintain, but they must be small enterprises. They are no longer able to adapt to the current competitive environment.

"In the past 3 years since the outbreak of the financial crisis, discussions on the pformation and upgrading of enterprises have been continuing, because if there is no industrial upgrading, the product structure and mode of production will not be adjusted, and the market will be eliminated."

An international sports brand OEM owner who does not want to be named has the same view.

"Now customers will choose to put some relatively low-end products in Southeast Asia, and we will retain more sophisticated and advanced parts of the process."

He said that Southeast Asian countries are like China in the early years. Now we are going to compete with them to produce production costs and labor costs.

"After so many years of manufacturing, China should set up the image of high-end products, and the powerful manufacturers will not worry too much about the tax adjustment.

Those who do not adapt (small businesses) will be eliminated sooner or later unless they move their factories to Southeast Asia and continue to make low-end products.

"Sometimes pain is better than short pain. Tax rebate is like a" back road ".

Liao Jierong said that narrowing the rear road would enable enterprises to keep pushing forward, and really spend energy and cost to develop at a higher level to achieve industrial upgrading.

However, she does not agree with the "downright" reduction. She believes that gradual and small adjustments can better test the affordability of small businesses.
