Since June 1, 2010, Xinjiang has implemented the resource tax reform. According to the report of the Ministry of finance of China on the study of carbon tax in China, the carbon tax (2012~2013) was selected in the period of 1~3 after the resource tax reform, and the environmental tax is expected to be introduced after 2014.

The environmental tax, also known as the green tax, is a concept that emerged in the international tax academia at the end of the twentieth Century. Environmental taxes internalize the social costs of environmental pollution and ecological destruction into production costs and market prices, and then allocate environmental resources through market mechanisms.

Under the impact of the economic crisis, there are many pressures on raw material prices and passive appreciation of the renminbi. The profits of leather enterprises are very few. If we add the cost pressure brought by the environmental tax, what will happen to the existing pattern of leather industry?

　　 Environmental taxes are in the balance. Leatherwear Industry faces reshuffle

"The introduction of the environmental tax also reflects that the country hopes that the enterprises will attach more importance to the environment so as to achieve sustainable development. However, the leather industry has paid more and more attention to the environment in recent years, and has made great progress in this regard. Wang Quanjie, director of the national leather technology research and Extension Center, said. However, the implementation is rather difficult because the billing of the environmental tax is very complicated, mainly because the emissions are different and the water consumption is different. Therefore, the scope of environmental tax collection is a very complex problem. Emissions and concentrations are hard to estimate. "My proposal is that we can collect according to output value, sales volume, output, emissions and water consumption. We must directly link with the emissions and pollution levels of enterprises, and try to achieve multiple platoon, multi levy, less emission and less levy. Director Wang Quanjie said.

　 Environmental taxes are not equal to sewage charges.

However, the original intention of the design of the environmental tax is to take the cost of environmental pollution control originally undertaken by the society by the enterprises themselves, and the internal digestion of the environmental cost will inevitably increase the cost of the enterprise's products. Wen Yibo, President of the National Federation of industry and Commerce environmental services industry, believes that the collection of environmental taxes will increase the cost of products by 2%-5%.

Under economic pressure, we will do everything possible to save energy and reduce emissions and develop technologies and technologies conducive to circular economy. In this process, we will have a competitive mechanism for survival of the fittest. Experts said that if the environmental tax is formally implemented, it will guide leather enterprises to control pollution, improve technology and improve management from the source.

What leather enterprises need to know is that paying taxes on the environment is not a worry. It can not be considered that paying the environmental tax is equivalent to buying "emission permits". The amount of pollutant discharge is reflected in the specific standard of environmental tax, so as to prevent enterprises from paying more taxes instead of paying taxes. Nor can it be considered that the tax will be relaxed if the environmental tax is paid. After the Levy of environmental taxes, the environmental protection department strengthens supervision and enforcement, and provides technical data to achieve fair taxation with the tax authorities.

The tax adjustment policy focuses on encouraging enterprises to save energy, reduce emissions and reduce consumption in the production process. The environmental tax will impose a "punitive" tax on enterprises' environmental pollution and occupation of resources, which is more forcefully, and will further strengthen the government's leverage to regulate environmental pollution. {page_break}

　 Half of netizens support the "environmental tax".

The environmental pollution was ranked fifth in the hot words of the two sessions in 2011. The survey data of the two sessions showed that 90% of the netizens thought the environment was serious and half of them supported the "environmental tax". A total of 3207 people took part in the investigation of "environmental pollution". 93% of them believed that the problem of environmental pollution in China was very serious. 75% of the main factors that cause environmental pollution are that the local government sacrifices the environment for the sake of economic benefits. 11%, it is considered that the regulation is not in place. Among the respondents, 39% indicated that the citizens' environmental awareness should be enhanced by increasing penalties. 11%, the media and public figures should be urged to take more actions in establishing citizens' awareness of environmental protection. 51% of the environmental tax is under support, which is conducive to environmental protection. 41% expresses concern that increasing taxes and fees will lead to price increases.

As for environmental taxes, industry experts, associations leaders and enterprises have different opinions, but generally agree that the upcoming environmental tax in 12th Five-Year will help enterprises to pay more attention to environmental protection and the sustainable development of the entire nation and industry. Among them, the industry technical experts are more concerned about the definition and enforcement of environmental taxes, and hope that the state can introduce a fair and impartial environmental tax collection plan as soon as possible so as to achieve the goal of fair taxation and reasonable taxation. On the enterprise side, it is generally believed that the impact on the high polluting tanning enterprises will be relatively large, and the bags and footwear industry are relatively few, so the ways and degrees of coping with each other are also different. At present, most enterprises do not know much about the environmental tax, so the state is also in urgent need of strengthening the publicity of environmental taxes. The head of the trade association said that the levying of the environmental tax would not bring any impact to the enterprises, but the change of the concept is important. For leather goods exporters, industry experts expressed concern that China's international competitiveness would be weakened if soaring fuel, talent and material costs were added to the environment.

In response, technical experts from the industry gave it. technological innovation And the use of environmentally-friendly materials, and the leaders of the association proposed cleaner production, classified treatment of water, and prevention of the two pollution of solid waste. On the whole, the collection of environmental taxes not only promotes the upgrading of industries, optimizes the allocation of resources, and protects the environment, but also brings pressure to enterprises, especially tanning enterprises, to increase their costs and weaken their competitiveness.

From the current situation analysis, the introduction of environmental taxes has become the general trend, and the policy issue is only a matter of time. Since it is irreversible, Leatherwear The industry should deal with it early and prepare for it. Leather enterprises should first strengthen technological research and development. Secondly, in the production process, we should adopt advanced treatment technology or reduce pollution production process, which will reduce production cost and tax payment, and thus win in competition.

The environmental tax will not be a charitable tax, and the impact on the leather industry can not be underestimated. Environmental taxes in the short term will have a negative impact on the industry, will eliminate some of the relatively poor R & D capability, backward technology enterprises, the result will lead to the leather industry reshuffle. But in the long run, environmental taxes can promote leather enterprises to improve their economic structure, optimize their allocation of resources, enhance their environmental competitiveness through corresponding environmental standards and environmental management, and ultimately enhance their competitiveness.
