China News Service, May 3, according to the WeChat public account of the Hainan Provincial Department of Transportation, in response to recent Internet media questions about the unreasonable increase in oil prices in Hainan, the Hainan Provincial Department of Transportation responded today: the increase in oil prices was due to the suspension of the epidemic. The toll surcharge has nothing to do with changes in international oil prices.
Recently, the Hainan Provincial Department of Transportation issued a notice and decided to resume the collection of motor vehicle toll surcharges from 06:00 on May 6, 2020. Since Hainan implements the "one-pedal accelerator pedal" policy, there is no card fee, but through gasoline The toll surcharge is levied, so the gasoline sales price of gasoline retail enterprises in the province is raised by 1.05 yuan per liter.
However, after the notice was issued, some people did n’t know much about Hainan ’s prevailing surcharge collection policy. They thought that the current international oil price plummeted. Why did Hainan ’s oil price “do not drop but rise”. Explain the problem. Hainan ’s vehicle toll surcharges are collected differently from other provinces. As early as 1994, Hainan took the lead in implementing the reform of the road regulation fee collection mode in the country, which included “road maintenance fees, bridge tolls, tolls and road transport management fees” That is, the four-in-one unit is the fuel surcharge and is levied outside the fuel sales link price. Today, Hainan is still a province that can achieve "one foot on the accelerator".
In January 2011, the "Regulations on the Collection of Motor Vehicle Toll Surcharges in the Hainan Special Economic Zone" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") was officially implemented, stipulating that motor vehicle toll surcharges belong to government funds, and are fully turned over to the provincial finances and the implementation of financial budget management. All used for highway construction in Hainan Province.
Since Hainan Province does not set up card fees, according to the "Regulations", the gasoline motor vehicle toll surcharge is levied according to the quantity of gasoline purchased and the standard price. The current gasoline toll levy in Hainan Province is 1.05 yuan / liter.
In response, in order to solve the socio-economic difficulties caused by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the Ministry of Transport issued the “Notice on the Exemption of Toll Road Vehicle Surcharges During the Prevention and Control of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic” in February this year (hereinafter referred to as “Notice ") According to the requirements of the" Notice ", the Hainan Provincial Government decided to waive motor vehicle toll surcharges from 0:00 on February 17, 2020, and correspondingly lowered the current oil price by 1.05 yuan per liter.
With the gradual improvement of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China issued the "Notice on the Reinstatement of Toll Road Tolls" on April 28, requesting the resumption of highway tolls throughout the country.
In order to implement the Party Central Committee and State Council ’s policy requirements on the resumption of the collection of vehicle toll surcharges, in conjunction with the “Regulations”, the Hainan Provincial Department of Transportation sought the approval of the Provincial Department of Finance and Development (Price) and reported to the Hainan Provincial Government for approval. Decided to resume the collection of motor vehicle toll surcharges from 0:00 on May 6. The increase in oil price of 1.05 yuan / litre this time is to resume the collection of motor vehicle toll surcharges previously suspended due to the impact of the epidemic according to the requirements of the central government, and has no connection with changes in international oil prices.
