China News Service, Guangzhou, January 20 (Sun Qiuxia) As a major manufacturing province, after the outbreak, the advantages of Guangdong's industrial chain have been continuously stimulated, and a large number of anti-epidemic materials such as mask machines and protective clothing have been delivered to home and abroad.

Recently, reporters visited Guangzhou and Dongguan and found that in the past year, sales of some anti-epidemic material manufacturers have shown explosive growth and exports have increased significantly.

  The "growth" of Guangdong's anti-epidemic material production enterprises is inseparable from the support of tax reduction and fee reduction.

In order to ease the financial pressure of enterprises, the Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation has not only accelerated the export tax rebate, but also launched a number of measures to implement various tax preferential measures.

Speeding up export tax rebates, injecting capital for enterprises

  In Tangxia Town, Dongguan City, trucks go in and out from Dongguan Kuaiyuda Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kaiyuda") every day.

The mask machines transported by these trucks will be exported to more than 30 countries including the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Russia, in addition to being sold domestically.

  Zeng Junfu, general manager of Kuayuda, told reporters that when the company was registered in 2014, it began to sell mask machines at home and abroad, accounting for about 30% of the global mask equipment market.

In 2020, Kuayuda's sales will be approximately 1.137 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.91 times.

Among them, export sales were about 392 million yuan, an increase of 8.95 times year-on-year.

  "Our busiest time was in February, March, and April last year, when employees had to work overtime until 11 or 12 in the evening. At the peak, 700 or 800 mask machines were produced a month, with a production capacity of more than 100 million. The half-year production is relatively less stressful. Now we produce two to three hundred mask machines a month." Zeng Junfu said.

  It is understood that, while expanding production capacity, Kuaiyuda has also purchased a lot of equipment, which is a relatively large expenditure.

Zeng Junfu told reporters that the one-time deduction policy for equipment manufacturers to purchase equipment for expansion of production capacity of key guarantee materials for epidemic prevention and control has "allowed the company to enjoy tax relief of more than 20 million yuan and eased our cash flow."

  In addition, in terms of export tax rebates, the Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau speeded up the average processing time for export tax rebates that comply with the regulations to within 5 working days, and some localities can complete them within 3 days.

  Zhong Yu, the chief financial officer of Dongguan Hongde Medical Plastic Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hongde Medical"), told reporters that in order to alleviate the external pressure on enterprises caused by the epidemic, the Dongguan tax department has further accelerated the progress of export tax rebate review, Hongde Medical 2020 The annual tax exemption, deduction, and refund declaration exceeded 21.9 million yuan.

  Hongde Medical is a manufacturer of polymer medical consumables, such as sterile surgical drapes and isolation gowns. The products are mainly sold abroad.

During the epidemic, the demand for isolation gowns produced by the company increased sharply.

"Due to the outbreak of the foreign epidemic, our production began to be tight from the end of the second quarter of last year. We did not complete all the isolation gown orders until early October, and now production has entered normalization." Zhong Yu said.

  In 2020, Hongde Medical's operating income exceeded 400 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.9%.

Among them, the total export value exceeded 53.7 million US dollars, an increase of 41% year-on-year.

  Zhong Yu said: "During the epidemic, our liquidity is relatively tight, and our materials are generally imported, and a large amount of cash is required to pay customs duties and value-added taxes. If export tax rebates have to wait one or two months, the financial pressure is very high. Big. Speeding up the export tax rebate is equivalent to sending charcoal in a timely fashion for our company."

R&D plus deductions to add innovation power to enterprises

  In Huadu District, Guangzhou, workers from Guangzhou Baoweikang Labor Insurance Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Baoweikang") are bagging masks in the production workshop.

  Before the outbreak, Baoweikang was the only company in Huadu, Guangzhou that produced industrial and civilian dust and gas masks.

After the outbreak, the company immediately transformed the production of anti-epidemic masks, and at the same time increased investment in research and development, and upgraded the mask functions, including improving the filtration efficiency of melt blown cloth.

  From January to December 2020, Baoweikang's sales were 1.802 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.42 times.

Among them, exports accounted for about 17.81%, mainly exported to Europe, South America, the Middle East and other regions.

  "It turns out that we are more researching how to prevent dust and poison gas. Antivirus and bacteria is a new topic for us. In the future, our research and development direction will shift to public health protection products." Baoweikang General Manager Yang Kang Bin told reporters.

  In 2020, Baoweikang has invested a total of about 200 million yuan in machinery and equipment and research and development expenses, which is about 100 times more than in 2019.

Among them, only corporate income tax in terms of taxation, Baoweikang enjoys a reduction of 86.53 million yuan.

  "Tax reduction and exemption have saved a lot of costs for enterprises. We invest these costs in anti-virus research and will produce more professional anti-virus and anti-bacterial masks in the future." Yang Kangbin said.

  Also focusing on innovation is Kuaiyuda.

It is understood that Kuayuda focuses on ultrasonic technology research and has its own R&D center and processing center. It has independently developed a fully automatic medical flat mask production line, a fully automatic N95 medical folding mask production line, and a fully automatic fish-shaped mask machine.

  In 2020, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Kuayuda will continue to increase its investment in research and development while increasing its productivity.

In the first half of 2020, the company continued to research and develop ultrasonic mask machine technology, update equipment technology, and increase equipment production capacity. The number of orders received far exceeded 100% of the annual target.

It is reported that in 2020, Kuayuda will enjoy a 15% preferential tax policy for high-tech enterprises, and it is expected to reduce or exempt corporate income tax by 21 million yuan.

  “In recent years, we have always put R&D in a more important position, because our technology-based enterprises have to iterate and update equipment every year. We will upgrade the mask machine equipment in the future to increase the speed of mask production and reduce Labor costs." Zeng Junfu said.
