In the early morning, there was a long queue outside the Caolu Restaurant on Renmin North Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai. The waiters in the store were busy, showing the fireworks of resuming business.
Faced with the impact of the epidemic, Shanghai tax authorities actively implemented various preferential tax policies to unblock the "capillaries" of the economy and help a group of small shops tide over the difficulties and regain their vitality.
Caolu Restaurant is a famous and characteristic old store in Shanghai. During the epidemic, Caolu Restaurant encountered development difficulties.
“Originally, every year after the Spring Festival was the busiest time, I did not expect to catch up with the epidemic. The restaurant was closed for more than a month, and income fell sharply, but wages and water and electricity were rigid expenditures. Some time ago, it was really difficult." Caolu Restaurant was responsible. Ren Ding Youkang said, "Fortunately, with the support of tax policies, we have more than 1.6 million yuan in sales in the first half of the year to enjoy value-added tax exemption, and it is expected that more deductions will be made in the second half of the year."
After the resumption of the market, Caolu Restaurant actively developed new dishes to attract new customers. Now the hotel traffic has returned to the level before the epidemic.
Ding Youkang said: "On the basis of maintaining the high quality of raw materials, we will continue to increase the supply of new varieties, provide the public with safe and delicious food, and achieve a win-win brand and reputation."
Preferential tax policies and tax service support not only make characteristic old stores full of confidence in the future development, but also increase the confidence in the development of new stores.
"One serving of sauced goose, one serving of exposed chicken." In the Deli Deli on Yueyang Street, Songjiang District, Shanghai, the clerk skillfully picked up the order and packed it.
“I thought that the business process of opening a new store was complicated, and I had to go to several places, but I didn’t expect it to be completed so quickly, and even invoices could be applied online.” Zhong Jianming, the person in charge of the store, experienced the convenience brought about by the optimization of the business environment.
"We have just opened for less than a month, and the tax department staff have carried out many online and offline counseling for us, and the company's value-added tax can be fully deducted." Zhong Jianming said, "In the next stage, we are going to build a central kitchen to facilitate food delivery. And do our best to meet the needs of consumers in Shanghai."
With the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the small shop economy has become a new engine that enhances urban vitality, promotes consumption upgrades, and stimulates economic recovery.
Not only is the characteristic old store, "Internet celebrity store" is also working hard to break through.
"Ding! You have a new takeaway order, please process it in time!" At noon, there was a lively scene in the Julang restaurant on Yueyang Street, Songjiang District, Shanghai.
The bald-headed egg fried rice in the store can be cooked in as fast as 40 seconds. It is one of the takeaways frequently ordered by workers in the surrounding area.
According to Shen Jiahai, the head of Julang Catering, during the epidemic, the restaurant can only rely on take-out to maintain operations. There are few people in the store and insufficient food delivery staff.
The tax department took the initiative to send preferential policies and tax services to the door, counsel hotel financial staff to apply for invoices through the Internet, and focused on publicizing preferential tax policies for individual businesses.
"Now the business in the store is getting better and better, especially the take-out orders at noon are overwhelmed. I was worried about not going on business before, but now I am very confident."
The Yunjian Granary Cultural and Creative Industry Park, located in Songjiang District, was hit by the epidemic shortly after the introduction of the "Aunt Beer" flagship store and the Internet celebrity night market.
"During the epidemic, real estate tax, urban land use tax reduction and exemption and other assistance policies have provided us with timely support. We have also reduced or exempted full house rents for enterprises in the park, and everyone is working together to fight the epidemic." Shanghai Yunjian Granary Investment Co., Ltd. works Staff Gao Hui said.
In the next step, the Shanghai tax authorities will improve the accuracy and convenience of implementing the tax and fee reduction policies, and further provide support for economic recovery.
