Tax Regulation and Reduction of Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction

According to Yang Chaofei, Director of the Department of Policy and Regulation of the State Environmental Protection Administration, at the "2007 China Energy Sustainable Development Forum," the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation, and the General Administration of Environmental Protection are currently formulating relevant policies for the collection of pollution product taxes and emission taxes. According to reports, the pollution product tax is targeted at companies, and the emission tax is levied on end-consumers. For example, emissions from carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and other pollutants in automobile exhaust gas are levied.

When the news came out, it drew everyone's attention. In recent years, Chinese companies and people are very sensitive to "taxes." According to statistics from industry experts, the sum of taxes and fees in China has accounted for 30% to 35% of GDP. Especially the "Forbes" global tax burden index released this year, China is ranked first in Asia, the third in the world, the author believes that in the use of tax regulation of energy-saving emission reduction, the EU's approach is worth learning from.

At the monthly regular meeting of EU member states’ finance ministers held on November 13 this year, the finance ministers of the United Kingdom and France jointly proposed a “green tax proposal”, hoping to establish the EU’s international response to global climate change with more active tax policies. The leader in warm action. It is worth noting that this tax proposal is based on tax cuts, that is, in the context of the European Union, a tax reduction plan for environmental protection and energy-saving products is implemented. The proposal put forward that the 27 member states of the European Union will jointly reduce the value-added tax rate for environmental protection and energy-saving products. The specific rate of tax reduction will be decided by each member country. Of course, there are also tax increases, that is, EU member states import goods from countries with excessive greenhouse gas emissions and impose additional tax on CO2 emissions. This practice will not only increase the tax burden of the people, but also play a good role in encouraging environmental protection.

Emissions tax, also known as ecological tax in many countries of the world, is a kind of "green tax". Many countries may impose different targeted taxes, sulfur dioxide tax, carbon dioxide tax, water pollution tax and noise pollution tax on different targets; most EU member states levy environmental taxes on products and packaging that affect the environment; some Scandinavian countries In the 1990s, the carbon tax was implemented; Germany passed the Ecological Tax Act in 1999, imposed eco-taxes on gasoline and imposed taxation on disposable beverage bottles; and the Canadian government levy tax on waste emissions, including gas taxation, Tire sales tax, lead-acid battery sales tax, etc.

In China, how to correctly regulate and control energy-saving and emission reduction with taxation? The author believes that the following two points should be done. First of all, the basic task of the emission tax is to balance and cannot stand alone to simply increase the burden on businesses and consumers. For enterprises that have implemented significant energy-saving emission reduction measures, or products that use energy-saving technologies to eliminate or reduce environmental hazards, whether they can consider exempting sales taxes, and provide incentives for enterprises that meet energy-saving standards for tax reduction or exemption. While considering the introduction of taxation, it is also necessary to design a tax deduction project, which will have positive significance if there are increases or decreases.

Second, we must make full use of the “addition and subtraction” in order to give full play to the optimization of taxation on the industrial structure. For some industries with heavy resource consumption and serious pollution, some industries such as heavy chemical industry and papermaking industry should increase tax collection and management. For energy-saving and environment-friendly products, tax relief efforts should be intensified so that high energy consumption and high levels can be gradually eliminated. Contaminated projects and businesses.
