As everybody knows, it will take very long to implement export tariff rebates. Normally it takes more than half a year. This greatly affects many medium and small enterprises which are doing foreign trade business. The "Opinions" say that they will strengthen central government subsidies and speed up the progress of tax rebates. How will it be implemented exactly?

Zhang Ji:

Thank you for your attention to this problem. The export rebates times you mention are not the case everywhere. Generally speaking, the progress of export tariff rebates has been accelerating. The tax department has done much work in this aspect, and many foreign trade enterprises should feel the change in export rebate efficiency. But of course, some enterprises have said it is still not convenient to implement export tariff rebates. This time the instructions have clarified this situation again and perfected the system for export rebates. This concerns three aspects: one, how to share the responsibilities of export tariff rebates by central and local governments. Export rebates are not a benefit policy, they are an international routine. Second, the local government. Now seashore locations have more exports, and some cargo supplies come from middle and western regions of China. If you go with current responsibility-sharing system, the more exports there will be, the heavier the burden there will be, and the local government will have a heavy burden. This time, the leaders of the State Council have paid a lot of attention to the details; many departments are involved and are cooperating with each other actively. They have improved the system and it is good to encourage local governments and reduce local governments' worries, creating a better environment for enterprises. Third, enterprises. The efficiency of tax rebates will be improved. Relevant departments will provide good service for enterprises according to "Instruction 19", especially for the legit foreign trade enterprises. The full amount and timely export rebates will be guaranteed.
