Self-employed usher in a "big gift package"-rent-free for three months in the first half of the year
The National Development and Reform Commission and other eight departments recently jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Responding to the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Situation to Further Help Small and Micro Enterprises and Individual Businesses in the Service Industry to Alleviate Housing Rent Pressure" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions"), sending out rent-free tax reduction "Gift package".
The "Guiding Opinions" are also specific implementations of the spirit of the executive meeting of the State Council. The executive meeting of the State Council held on April 21 confirmed that the promotion of small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry that lease state-owned houses will be exempted from rent for three months in the first half of the year. State-owned enterprises, especially central enterprises, universities, research institutes and other enterprises and institutions should take the lead.
"The choice of rent reduction or exemption as the starting point is because the business premises of small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households are basically obtained through leasing. These direct losses caused by the immunity prevention and control are small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial enterprises. The reasonable demands of households. "Liu Xingguo, a researcher at the Research Department of the China Enterprise Confederation, said in an interview with reporters.
Statistics show that housing rents account for a relatively high proportion of the operating costs of small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry, and some operating entities rent even account for about half of the operating costs.
"For small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, the current priority is to survive. To survive, we must keep the leased business premises." Liu Xingguo said that for many small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, the rent Probably its most important operating cost. Rent exemption can significantly reduce the burden of survival.
The "Guidance Opinions" proposes to promote the exemption of three months of house rents in the first half of the year for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry that have leased state-owned houses for operation and have difficulties. Encourage non-state-owned housing leasing entities to reasonably share the losses caused by the epidemic on the basis of equal consultation.
Liu Xingguo believes that the reason for emphasizing that the main body of state-owned housing leasing should take the lead in fulfilling social responsibilities and actively helping small and micro enterprises is determined by two factors. On the one hand, the state, as the representative of state-owned enterprises, has the right to make suggestions and requirements on the disposal of state-owned capital. On the other hand, because of their special public ownership attributes, state-owned enterprises, as the specific carriers of the superiority of the socialist system, are obliged to embody more responsibilities in the special period when the epidemic impacts economic development. Making concessions to small and medium-sized merchants in order to drive the overall recovery of the society and the macro economy is an important aspect of responsibilities.
"Helping small and medium-sized enterprises to overcome difficulties, although it will cause certain impacts on state-owned enterprises in the short term, is also an inevitable requirement for maximizing long-term profits. Only when small and medium-sized enterprises develop from their difficulties can state-owned enterprises usher in a better operating environment and help small and micro enterprises. Working with individual industrial and commercial households is actually helping state-owned enterprises themselves. "Liu Xingguo said.
The Guiding Opinions also made arrangements for improving fiscal and taxation preferential policies, increasing financial support, and stabilizing the housing rental market. For example, the local government should coordinate various types of financial funds and provide appropriate assistance to small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry that lease non-state-owned houses. For the lessor with rent reduction or exemption, the property tax and urban land use tax of the year can be reduced or exempted according to the current regulations.
Liu Xingguo said that while requiring state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises to provide preferential treatment for rent reduction and exemption to small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, government departments and financial institutions have also made specific arrangements to partially share the income loss of the profit-making entities, Or provide the necessary financial support for market entities that provide rent reduction and exemption.
