According to the People's Daily overseas edition, it is learned from the State Administration of Taxation that at present, most of the people's NPC Standing Committees in the country have recently reviewed and passed the green tax scheme in their respective regions, paving the way for the environmental tax levying and all localities have taken the environmental carrying capacity of the region into consideration , The status quo of pollutants discharge and the requirements of economic, social and ecological development goals, the taxation plan has been set within the statutory range.
The "Environmental Protection Tax Law" is nothing new. It was passed as early as the 25th meeting of the 12th NPC Standing Committee on December 25, 2016 and has been approved since January 1, 2018 Now around the adoption of the program of environmental taxes in the region, indicating that the "Environmental Protection Tax Law," the formal implementation of the day is at hand.
As the first green taxation system in China, the Environmental Tax Law stipulates that the tax amount of taxable atmospheric pollutants ranges from 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and that of water pollutants ranges from 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per pollution equivalent. The determination and adjustment of the specific applicable tax may be decided by the standing committees of the people's congresses around the statutory tax rate.
According to the statistics, the tax amount for the taxable air pollutants and water pollutants specified in the provinces such as Liaoning, Jilin, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang is levied according to the minimum amount stipulated in the environmental tax law, while in Zhejiang, The tax amount set by Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and southwestern regions is slightly higher than the minimum tax amount stipulated by the Environmental Tax Law. The tax amount set by Jiangsu, Hainan and Sichuan is moderate. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Province and the neighboring provinces are generally in favor of Air pollutants and water pollutants identified a higher specific applicable tax.
Obviously, the enactment amount of environmental taxes collected by all localities is directly proportional to the situation of local environmental protection - the more serious the environmental pollution situation is, the higher the environmental taxes levied will be, of which, the applicable tax amount of the taxable air pollutants in Beijing is 12 yuan , Taxable water pollutants applicable tax per pollution equivalent 14 yuan, according to the provisions of the Environmental Tax Law to implement the upper limit of the amount of tax.
Environmental tax collection has been on the verge of, and irreversible.When we look back on the coating industry, it is not difficult to find that in the past year, all kinds of environmental taxes that may be brought to the industry and business and consumers The interpretation of influence has long been 'flying around', and the headlines of these interpretations are often tagged with 'heavy', 'horrifying' and 'unknowable' labels to create an atmosphere of urgency that has been hit by rising raw material costs Bitter paint industry more pressure.
However, the environmental tax is really ringing the paint industry 's wolf it?
It is true that the official collection of environmental taxes will inevitably increase the pressure on the paint industry, but it is not as sudden as before the paint consumption tax, but given a certain buffer time; not to mention, on the basis of the original sewage charges levied, In fact, the introduction of a green tax is an alternative to sewerage charges. Therefore, even if the amount of levies and intensity increases, such pressure can be eased by abolishing the sewage charges.
Moreover, at present, the grim situation of environmental protection in our country has come to an impassable moment, and the report pointed out that as a more standardized, stable and mandatory measure, the introduction of a green tax will release the enterprises' control and pollution reduction Material emissions, protection and improvement of the ecological environment. "The paint industry is considered one of the major air pollutants emission, to withstand some pressure on emissions reduction should also be.
In response, the report said: "Relevant enterprises not only paid close attention to them but also started to take active measures to reduce their tax costs." For coating companies, improving the production process, developing environmentally friendly products and establishing an environmentally friendly development direction is one We are very pleased to see that the vast majority of coatings companies in recent years are actively exploring the road to environmental protection and made remarkable achievements - such as Garbo Li, Xiangjiang paint, Barclays And other companies have introduced water-based products, the implementation of corporate responsibility to environmental responsibility .Especially water-based paint products known morning Industry and Trade, but also in the water-based paint on this road for many years, as coatings companies to carry out environmental protection transformation The model.
As a result, only those enterprises that are unscrupulous and enterprising in the hope of deifying the implementation of environmental protection policies or those that are lucky enough to evade environmental law enforcement will really worry about the "wolf" , But not before it has yet to come.
Therefore, instead of blindly rendering environmental taxes and other environmental protection policies and the pressure brought about by them, it is better to think about how to guide coating companies to speed up the transformation of environmental protection, deepen their understanding of the trend of environmental protection and make the society pay attention to coatings Industry's contribution to the national environmental protection. Only in this way can we bring enterprises a little encouragement and a sense of confidence in environmental protection. Only in this way can enterprises and industries truly help to dissolve the pressure brought by the policy.
