After 20 days, the environmental protection tax will come: four types of objects become the focus of collection Beijing's highest
Three weeks later, the environmental protection tax (referred to as the“green tax”) will officially debut. Previously, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress voted on December 25, 2016 to pass the Environmental Protection Tax Law, which will come into force on January 1, 2018. The 'Environmental Protection Tax Law' is China's first“green tax”The single-line tax law aims to protect and improve the environment, reduce pollutant discharge, and promote the construction of ecological civilization. Its advent means that the conversion of the sewage charging system that has been implemented in China for many years to the environmental protection tax system will be officially launched. It is understood that nearly 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) have successively announced the specific use tax amount and the number of items of environmental protection tax for taxable air pollutants and water pollutants. The specific tax amount of environmental protection tax for air pollutants and water pollutants in each province is levied at the range of 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per equivalent, and 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per equivalent. Each region can determine specific standards within this range according to actual conditions. Among them, Beijing's charging standard is the highest in the country, and the environmental protection tax standard in Tianjin, Hebei, Sichuan and other provinces and cities is 3-5 times the lowest standard; Ningxia, Gansu, Jiangxi, Jilin and other regions with relatively strong environmental carrying capacity shift the original sewage charge Standards; Shanxi, Hubei, Fujian, Yunnan and other provinces appropriately raise the standards. The taxable objects of environmental protection tax are divided into four categories of pollutant discharge taxpayers, including air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste and noise. It is worth noting that there are two cases in which no tax is required. One is that those who do not directly discharge taxable pollutants into the environment (such as wastewater discharged into the municipal pipeline network by catering enterprises) do not need to pay environmental protection tax. The second is that individual residents do not. Belong to the taxpayer, do not pay environmental tax. On December 7, Li Zuojun, deputy director of the Resources and Environmental Policy Research Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Council, told the Economic Observer that the implementation of fee-for-tax reform can better exert the power of taxation, and taxation will be more authoritative, standardized and stable. Different tax rates are implemented for different industries in different regions, which can effectively achieve the effect of optimization and regulation. More levies are imposed on enterprises with heavy pollution, less levy on enterprises with light pollution, and no levy on enterprises without pollution. In this way, a kind of reward and punishment can be achieved. bad effect. Song Guojun, a professor at the School of Environment of Renmin University of China and director of the Institute of Environmental Policy and Environmental Planning, told the Economic Observer,“Implementing an environmental tax is a fundamental move. On the one hand, it can force the environmental monitoring data to be more realistic, and on the other hand, it can force the enterprise to improve the environmental protection level.”. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the highest environmental protection tax standard, told the Economic Observer that the introduction of environmental protection tax can reduce the pressure on Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air pollution prevention and control to a certain extent, and in the long run, it can promote enterprises to achieve environmental protection upgrades, management upgrades, technology upgrades Upgrades and product upgrades are definitely a good thing. This also marks a big step forward in China's environmental protection level. It is worth noting that Beijing determines the charging price according to the upper limit of the 'Environmental Protection Tax Items and Tax Scale', that is, the applicable standard for taxable air pollutants is 12 yuan per equivalent, and the applicable standard for water pollutants is 14 yuan per equivalent. The implementation of the upper limit of the tax law also means that Beijing's future pollution control will continue to increase. The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau recently told the Economic Observer that nearly 8,000 companies in Beijing that had collected sewage charges have been handed over to the local taxation department, and it is expected that the number of environmental tax taxpayers will increase in 2018. Moreover, after the fee-for-tax reform is supported by law, it can effectively solve many problems such as insufficient law enforcement rigidity and local government intervention in the previous sewage charging system. Li Xiaoping, executive deputy director and director general of the Chemical Industry Committee of China Industrial Environmental Protection Association, told the Economic Observer:“Previously, the collection of corporate sewage charges was a departmental regulation, and the tax collection was directly raised to the legal height of the national level.”Li Xinchuang, dean of the Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, said that the Environmental Protection Tax Law starts from the tax lever. If enterprises discharge more pollutants, they will pay more taxes, and if they discharge less pollutants, they can enjoy tax reductions and exemptions, and all the profits will go to the local governments, and the central government will no longer participate in the share , through the construction of a green tax system that promotes the adjustment of economic structure and the transformation of development mode, forms an effective restraint and incentive mechanism, rewards the good and punishes the bad, forces enterprises to reduce emissions, and promotes the construction of ecological civilization and green development. A relevant person from the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Finance told the Economic Observer that the current environmental governance task in Beijing is very arduous, and the implementation of the upper limit of environmental protection tax will help solve outstanding environmental problems, strengthen the responsibility of polluters, and promote polluting enterprises to pay attention to environmental protection. In recent years, Beijing's investment in air pollution control and water resources protection is far greater than the income from sewage charges. The above-mentioned person in charge said that in 2016, Beijing's sewage fee income was 613 million yuan, but the investment in air pollution control and water resources protection reached 16.56 billion yuan and 17.66 billion yuan respectively.
