The State Council Has Many Strong Drugs To Reduce The Cost Of Logistics Industry.

In taxes and fees,

On the 8 day, Premier Wen Jiabao chaired a State Council executive meeting, and decided to further promote the tax, land policy, reduce cross road toll and increase investment in logistics industry.

Cai Jin, vice president of China logistics and purchasing Federation, said that the deployment of the State Council will undoubtedly push forward the cost reduction of logistics enterprises and promote the healthy development of the logistics industry.

The deeper meaning lies in reducing logistics enterprises.

Since the State Council issued the logistics industry adjustment and revitalization plan in March 2009, the logistics industry has been developing rapidly.

However, some policy problems that are not suitable for the development of logistics industry have further emerged, which have restricted the development of the industry and restricted the improvement of the logistics efficiency of the whole society.

Taxation is one of the important constraints in the development of logistics industry.

It is understood that the current tax rate is not uniform in all aspects of logistics.

The business tax rate for pportation, loading and unloading and handling is 3%, warehousing, distribution, agency and so on.

In view of the uneven tax burden, the State Council has asked to study the problem of non-uniform business tax rates in warehousing, distribution and freight forwarding.

The reporter has learned that the industry has been calling for the unification of the business tax rates of all sectors of the logistics industry to 3%, but the relevant departments are inclined to include the logistics industry in the scope of value-added tax and cancel the business tax.

Repeated taxation is also a common problem in the logistics industry.

Due to the needs of business, logistics enterprises often divide and cooperate with the same pport business, which easily causes repeated taxation among different businesses in the same business.

In response, the State Council has asked to improve the pilot scheme for the tax difference of business tax of logistics enterprises, expand the scope of the pilot projects and promote them as soon as possible.

Another thing that is criticized by logistics enterprises is crossing bridge tolls.

The data show that the toll roads in the world are 140 thousand km, of which 100 thousand km are in China, accounting for 70% of the world's total.

For the logistics industry, Luqiao directly accounts for 1/3 of the total cost of logistics enterprises.

Cai Jin told reporters that road tolling is an international practice. However, in addition to high fees, arbitrary charging and over charging stations are common in China. "Too many toll stations make highways not high speed, which seriously affects the efficiency of logistics, which is the key to pushing up logistics costs."

For this reason, the State Council meeting pointed out that we should reduce toll for passing through bridges and vigorously implement the toll collection system.

In addition to taxes and fees, the State Council also stressed the need to increase support for land policies in the logistics industry.

Scientific development of logistics park development plan, to plan the logistics park land to give priority protection.

It supports the use of old factory buildings, warehouses and stock land resources for the development of the logistics industry.

In terms of logistics input, the State Council requires governments at all levels to increase investment support for logistics infrastructure, and actively guide banking financial institutions to increase credit support for logistics enterprises and expand financing channels.
