(Characters of the Two Sessions) Xie Deti, deputy to the National People's Congress: Implementing the green tax system, the mountains and water in the Three Gorges Reservoir area are greener
China News Service, Chongqing, February 21 (Wang Wenliang Qinqing) As a scholar of resources and environment, deputy to the National People's Congress, second-level professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Resources and Environment of Southwest University, Xie Deti has led the team to the Three Gorges Reservoir for many times since 2012. to investigate the environmental problems faced by agricultural development.
"Ecological environmental governance is a comprehensive work, especially the characteristics of instantaneous, hidden and fluid pollutant discharge, which requires cross-regional and cross-departmental cooperation." Xie Deti said that in the ten-year grassroots survey, the most intuitive The change is that the Three Gorges Reservoir area and even the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River have greener mountains and greener waters, and the quality of the ecological environment has been significantly improved.
While studying ecological agriculture and ecological construction, Xie Deti led the team to go deep into the Three Gorges Reservoir area to investigate the environmental problems faced by agricultural development.
"In recent years, the Chongqing tax department has implemented the concept of 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', implemented the green tax system, and contributed to the realization of carbon peaks and carbon neutrality. The planning and natural resources bureau and other departments have established a data sharing mechanism, and the taxation departments of Sichuan and Chongqing have unified policy calibers such as the dust emission coefficient of construction. This cross-departmental and cross-regional collaboration has promoted enterprises to speed up transformation and upgrading, energy conservation and emission reduction. , take the road of ecological green development.
Xie Deti believes that the Chongqing tax department actively plays the positive and negative role of the green tax system in ecological and environmental protection, actively serves the energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises, drives the adjustment and upgrading of Chongqing's industrial structure, and protects the clear waters of the river and the green mountains on both sides of the river.
In recent years, the state has introduced a series of tax policies, gradually forming a green tax system with environmental protection tax as the main body, resource tax and cultivated land occupation tax as the focus, and vehicle and vessel tax, vehicle purchase tax and other taxes as auxiliary. Production, circulation, consumption, emission and other links.
"The green tax system has played an active role in encouraging green transformation and upgrading of enterprises, and has promoted ecological priority and green development to become a social consensus." Xie Deti believes that after the pollution discharge fee is changed to environmental protection tax, "more emissions and more levies, less emissions and less levies, no The taxation principle of "exhaust and not collect" forces enterprises to raise their awareness of environmental protection, allowing the former major polluters to take the initiative to save energy and reduce emissions, and the ecological environment has been significantly improved.
At the same time, enterprises can improve resource utilization, carry out ultra-low emission technological transformation, etc., and can also enjoy preferential tax policies such as resource tax and environmental protection tax, which effectively reduces the production cost of enterprises, and the concept of green development has become more popular.
Facing the new situation and new requirements of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, Xie Deti hopes that the country will continue to improve the green tax system, implement the policy of reducing taxes and fees, continue to encourage green development of enterprises, and at the same time play a role in tax regulation in protecting arable land and improving soil organic matter. , to achieve the dual goals of green development and tax reduction.
He will also continue to provide advice and suggestions for the construction of the ecological environment.
