"Apply on the first day, and the tax refund of more than 300,000 yuan will be credited the next day." The efficient tax refund speed made Liu Rongxian, the chief financial officer of Hongyu Trading Co., Ltd. in Tengchong City, Yunnan Province unexpected. In the first half of this year, my country's foreign trade exports have maintained a positive year-on-year growth for three consecutive months since April. Behind this change, taxation power played an important role. According to the latest data released by the State Administration of Taxation recently, in the first half of the year, a total of 812.8 billion yuan in export tax refunds and exemptions was handled nationwide, which effectively eased the financial pressure of export enterprises and reduced their capital costs.
Since the beginning of this year, the tax authorities have conscientiously implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council to help enterprises make full use of their export tax rebate policies. They have introduced a series of measures in terms of increasing import and export tax rebate facilitation and speeding up export tax rebates to promote export tax rebate speed and efficiency. Fiscal and taxation experts believe that the taxation department continues to optimize the tax business environment, adopting a “decrease” method on the tax-related burden of enterprises, and an “addition” method on tax-related dividends, so as to make the sleeping funds “live” in the enterprise. Arouse the competitiveness and market vitality of foreign trade enterprises.
Policy overweight injects "live water" into enterprise development
"This time the country has raised the export tax rebate rate for some products. Our company’s emery cloth, sandpaper and other products can benefit. The tax rebate rate has been adjusted from 10% to 13%. In the first half of this year, the export tax rebate amount will be increased by more than 1 million yuan. It helps a lot." said Chen Xiaoming, the financial manager of Shandong Bosch Abrasives Industry Co., Ltd.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the state has introduced a series of assistance policies such as increasing the export tax rebate rate and supporting the transfer of exports to domestic sales to help foreign trade companies overcome difficulties, protect the market, and guarantee orders. In March this year, the State Administration of Taxation and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "Announcement on Increasing Export Tax Rebate Rates for Certain Products", which increased the export tax rebate rates for 1,464 products. Among them, the export tax rebate rate of 1084 products has been increased to 13%. The new taxation deal immediately injected "live water" into enterprise development. According to statistics, as of the end of June, nearly 25,000 export companies across the country have enjoyed this policy dividend, providing a strong support for foreign trade companies.
"The export tax rebate of more than 77 million yuan will soon be accounted for. During this special period, our financial pressure has been relieved in time, so that we have greater confidence to deal with the challenge of the epidemic." Dongguan Deput Electronics Co., Ltd. Finance Director Yu Jianming said that due to the impact of the epidemic, the company's decline in orders in the first quarter affected the company's capital flow, causing the company that was originally prepared to upgrade and optimize the mobile phone after-sales bonded repair work line to hit a wall. "While we are trying to solve the funding problem, the tax department has brought us good news."
As the epidemic continues to spread around the world, demand in the international market continues to shrink, which is in sharp contrast with the strong domestic economic recovery. Many foreign trade companies have also turned their attention to the "domestic market", and the taxation department has provided "supplies" to the companies in a timely manner.
Lian Yushan, executive deputy general manager of Guangdong Ouya Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. in Yunfu City, said frankly that during the epidemic, inspired by the "home economy", the company switched to the domestic market. Since the beginning of this year, the company has enjoyed export tax rebates and social insurance premiums of RMB 6.59 million. 2.244 million yuan, which provided financial support for the company to move to the domestic market.
"Tolerance" to "invigorate" capital enterprises to increase confidence
"Declaration on the same day, the review will be completed on the same day, and the tax refund will be credited the next day." Ms. Tan, the financial manager of Dongdian Electronic Components (Zhuhai Free Trade Zone) Co., Ltd., praised the tax department for the efficient tax refund, "More than 11 million yuan The receipt of tax rebates guarantees the capital flow of the company and gives us confidence and confidence in resuming work and production and overcoming the epidemic."
The capital chain is the lifeline of an enterprise. During the epidemic, the Zhuhai taxation department implemented the export tax rebate "special-person approval" and "on-demand review" systems to further reduce the processing time for each link and reduce the city's average processing time to 3 days.
In order to speed up tax rebates, local tax authorities have actively opened green channels for export tax rebates, implemented non-contact processing such as "online" and "paperless" export tax rebates, continued to increase the average processing time for export tax rebates, and spurred the company's capital flow.
"The export tax rebate funds will be in the account soon, and we deeply feel the strong tax support behind it." Mr. Hu, the head of Zhonglong Bearing Co., Ltd., Guangde City, Anhui Province, said that the company's products are mainly sold in overseas markets such as Europe and the United States. Where the epidemic is severe, but in China, the tax department can use online remote guidance to allow companies to safely receive tax refunds without having to meet. "The accumulated tax rebate of more than 3.6 million yuan has given the company sufficient financial support. When discussing cooperation with foreign factories, the company has more confidence." Mr. Hu said from the heart.
"Contactless" tax handling is safe and efficient, helping companies accelerate the flow of funds. According to statistics, since the implementation of the "contactless" handling of export tax rebates on February 10, about 300,000 enterprises across the country have processed 629.6 billion yuan in tax refunds (exemptions) through "contactless" methods. The acceleration of the tax rebate exchanges the confidence index of the enterprise, and the "tolerance" of export tax rebate is even more powerful.
Pandi Smart Home Co., Ltd., located in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, was also frustrated by the epidemic in overseas markets. Exports fell for a while. The company's financial officer Wen Lanjun was very worried. The State Administration of Taxation Pizhou City Taxation Bureau quickly opened up a "green channel" for export tax rebates and initiated a "tolerant" handling mechanism after learning about the situation. "The tax rebate reached 2.6 million yuan in the first half of the year, an increase of 23% year-on-year. The lives of more than 300 people in the enterprise are guaranteed. Everyone is more and more confident in fighting the epidemic and ensuring production." Wen Lanjun said.
In the first half of the year, a total of about 11,000 new export companies across the country enjoyed the service bonus of “tolerant” processing, and obtained tax refunds (exemptions) of nearly 10 billion yuan, which effectively reduced taxation costs and “activated” funds to enterprises in a timely manner Hands.
Explore new service mechanisms to eliminate the worries of enterprises
Recently, the Taxation Bureau of Jiangbei Industrial Concentration Zone in Anhui Province received a thank you call from Yin Xiaohong, the financial officer of Wuhu Southeast Asia International Trade Co., Ltd. "We originally only submitted an export tax rebate application of 13 million yuan. We did not expect the tax department to take the initiative to inform us that through taxation big data analysis, we should still have 7 million yuan certified invoices that failed to declare the tax rebate in time. After verification, it is true. A big gift bag!" Yin Xiaohong's joy was beyond words.
The use of big tax data in export tax rebates has made the services of the taxation department more proactive, timely and accurate. Under the background of the epidemic, business risks have increased. In response to the problems that some foreign trade companies cannot receive payment in time and increase the risk of foreign exchange collection, Ningbo Taxation Bureau and China Export Credit Insurance Corporation Ningbo Branch are piloting export enterprises in Cixi City. Cooperation” special service activities, launched cooperative service projects such as “sharing claims data” and “deeming claims as foreign exchange collection”.
“We encountered a major customer who defaulted on the company’s 1.69 million US dollars in payment. Sinosure paid 80% of the loss in the payment. The taxation department immediately came to our door to give us a one-on-one counseling, allowing us to obtain relevant certification materials in time. The tax rebate was successfully completed." said Fang Qifeng, director of the comprehensive department of the fruit and vegetable food export company Haitong Food Group Co., Ltd. The establishment of the new mechanism prevents enterprises from applying for export tax rebates due to bad debts in export sales, and eliminates the worries that enterprises cannot enjoy export tax rebates.
Cash flow is the lifeline of enterprise production and development. In order to speed up the efficiency of export tax rebate processing, the taxation department of Jiangsu Province has made every effort to develop "non-contact" export tax rebate services. In Yancheng, the new “E-Quick Retreat” service initiative was frequently praised by enterprises. All tax refund matters are handled through the "no-face" method such as the electronic tax bureau. Tax refund information is "circulated in the cloud" between taxation, customs, and the People's Bank of China. There is also a dedicated person responsible for reviewing the tax refund application. ", further reducing the length of tax payment.
"From January to May this year, the tax department has helped us handle export tax rebates of 110 million yuan and all have been credited to the account, an increase of 16.1 million yuan over the same period last year." said Lu Changwei, the chief financial officer of Yancheng Dafeng Canadian Solar Power Technology Co., Ltd. Timely and efficient export tax rebate processing, reduce capital occupation, accelerate capital turnover, and provide strong support for enterprises to stabilize production capacity, stabilize the market, and stabilize the chain.
Li Wanfu, the vice president of the Chinese Taxation Society, believes that the taxation department continues to optimize the tax business environment by making "decrease" methods on the tax burden of enterprises and "addition" on tax dividends, and strive to keep sleeping funds in the enterprise. "Live", leverage the competitiveness and market vitality of foreign trade enterprises, and provide endless driving force for the development of overseas markets.
