At the beginning of the year, the air pollution protection tax was levied, and the VOC exhaust gas adsorption and recovery device achieved zero pollution
On the afternoon of the 29th, the 33rd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th Provincial People's Congress reviewed the 'Decision on the Applicable Tax Amount of Environmental Protection Tax on Air Pollutants and Water Pollutants in Hunan Province (Draft)'. According to the spirit of the draft decision, our province plans to levy environmental protection taxes on air pollutants and water pollutants from next year, and will no longer levy sewage charges. Among them, the applicable tax amount for taxable air pollutants is planned to be 2.4 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the applicable tax amount for taxable water pollutants is proposed to be 3 yuan per pollution equivalent. Shi Jianhui, director of the Provincial Department of Finance, introduced that the collection of environmental protection taxes on air pollutants and water pollutants is the specific implementation of the 'Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People's Republic of China' that will take effect on January 1 next year. The Environmental Protection Tax Law stipulates that the tax amount for air pollutants is 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the tax amount for water pollutants is 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per pollution equivalent, both of which are 10 times. Compared with the current pollution discharge fee collection standards of our province, the environmental protection tax standards for air pollutants and water pollutants proposed by our province are 100% higher for air pollutants and 114% higher for water pollutants. Compared with the specified maximum tax rate, it is still in its infancy, which not only takes into account the intensification of pollution control efforts, but also takes into account the burden borne by enterprises. It is understood that the task of improving environmental quality in our province is arduous and complex, and the air and water pollution is relatively serious. According to the calculations of experts organized by the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau and the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, the average treatment cost of air pollutants in our province is 1.76 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the average treatment cost of water pollutants is 2.85 yuan per pollution equivalent. It is obviously lower than the cost of pollution control by enterprises, which cannot motivate enterprises to actively control pollution. Therefore, in order to continuously improve the environmental quality of our province, it is necessary to appropriately raise the standard of environmental protection tax, and only if the environmental protection tax collected is higher than the cost of pollution control by enterprises, can enterprises be motivated to control pollution instead of directly discharging. At the same time, the Environmental Protection Tax Law stipulates that if the emission concentration value is lower than 30% of the prescribed standard, the tax will be reduced by 75%; if it is lower than 50%, the tax will be reduced by 50%. This regulation is more favorable than the original preferential policy of halving sewage charges. Most enterprises in key industries such as thermal power generation and cement in our province can complete emission reduction tasks and enjoy tax incentives, thus reducing the burden on enterprises. During the deliberation, the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress believed that the specific applicable tax amount for taxable air pollutants and water pollutants proposed by our province has taken into account the environmental carrying capacity of our province, the status quo of pollutant discharge and the requirements of economic, social and ecological development goals. It will help strengthen the binding force of taxation on pollutant discharge, and promote enterprises to establish and improve the pollutant discharge control mechanism. It is of great significance to protect and improve the environment, reduce pollutant discharge, and build a rich, beautiful and happy new Hunan.
