Export enterprises call for raising export tax rebate rate again

In order to help export enterprises overcome difficulties, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation raised the export tax rebate rate three times in three months. In the "Caishui [2008] No. 144" document issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, the export tax rebate rate for wooden doors will increase to 9% on December 1, 2008, which is still low compared to other industries. The wooden door professional committee submitted a report to the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, hoping to increase the export tax rebate of wooden doors by 11%.

Report on the urgent request to increase the export tax rebate rate for floors and wooden doors

Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation:

The Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued the “Notice on Raising the Export Tax Rebate Rate for Certain Commodities” from November 1, 2008, and appropriately increased the export tax rebate rate for some labor-intensive commodities such as textiles, clothing, and furniture. , The export tax rebate rate of some furniture was increased to 11% and 13% respectively; from August 1 this year, the country has increased the export tax rebate rate of bamboo plywood to 11%; the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation released on November 17 The Notice on Value-added Tax Export Rebate Rates for Labor-intensive Products and Other Commodities, from December 1, 2008, the tax rebate rate for some forest products will be appropriately increased from 5% to 9%. Although the products in laminate flooring, parquet, and wooden doors for labor-intensive commodities have been adjusted up to 9%, the adjustment is not enough, and it is difficult to alleviate the difficulties of these three commodity manufacturing industries as soon as possible. In response, more than 200 floor member companies and more than 400 wooden door member companies of our association have called or sent letters or other methods to require laminate flooring, parquet and bamboo flooring to enjoy preferential tax refund policies, and the tax refund rate has been increased to 13%; The export tax rebate rate for wooden doors was increased to 13%. The reasons are as follows:

1. Proposal to increase the export tax rebate rate of laminate flooring and solid wood composite flooring to 13%

1. The main raw materials of solid wood composite flooring and laminate flooring are the wood provided by the fast-growing forest. Making full use of the fast-growing forest wood is a good measure to implement the central "three rural" policies and plays a positive and important role in improving the living standards of farmers.

China is a mountainous country with a total mountain area of ​​69% of the country ’s land area and a population of 56%. The poor population is mainly concentrated in the harsher mountain and sand plains. These areas mainly rely on the development of agricultural forestry. And economic forests, change the status quo and increase farmers' income. According to the survey, Linyi, Heze, Pizhou, Suqian, Fengxian, Cheng'an, Wen'an and other regions in Shandong vigorously build fast-growing and high-yield forests, which can not only provide the main raw materials for the production of solid wood composite and laminate flooring, but also increase farmers' income. way. The massive consumption of solid wood composite flooring has also increased farmers' enthusiasm for building fast-growing forests.

2. Solid wood composite flooring and laminate flooring are effective ways to save and efficiently use wood resources

Although the production of wood flooring is a resource-based enterprise, the solid wood composite floor is only a surface board (about 0.6mm-3mm), using natural forest materials, others are using fast-growing forest materials, and all reinforced wood floors are using fast-growing forest materials and branches. The law of forest development is that trees reaching a certain age must be felled and replanted with new forests, otherwise they will naturally die and affect the growth of new forests, causing great waste of resources.

3. Solid wood composite flooring and laminate flooring are cost-effective, and are favored by low- and middle-income consumers, as well as by international markets such as Europe, America, and the Middle East.

The characteristics of parquet and laminate flooring have the advantages of elegance, beauty, comfortable feet, heat insulation, and small deformation, and use fast-growing and branched wood as the main raw materials. The price of parquet is 130 yuan / About m2, laminate flooring is only 70 yuan-80 / m2 yuan, and it is very popular in Europe, America, Middle East and other international markets, and sales are increasing day by day. At present, the United States, Europe, Turkey and other countries have issued a series of policies and laws to protect their domestic enterprises, especially the typical cases such as "337 cases", "332", "Lacey Act", and "anti-dumping" that have occurred in recent years, aiming to resist Chinese flooring entered the international market.

4. Solid wood composite flooring and laminate flooring are labor-intensive industries, which not only ease urban and rural employment, but also increase farmers' wealth.

In particular, laminate flooring is made of twigs and fast-growing wood as raw materials. The raw materials are guaranteed and have scientific and technological content. It belongs to the sustainable development of the sunrise industry. In order to maintain a good export situation, China's flooring companies have continuously strengthened their own management and strengthened their physical fitness, improved the international competitiveness of their products, and seized the international market share. However, in recent years, due to rising raw materials, rising labor costs and transportation costs, coupled with the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis and the international financial turmoil, floor export companies have been hit hard, and some SMEs have faced the crisis of collapse. To this end, in order to alleviate the difficulties of enterprises, effectively relieve the pressure of production costs, and improve the competitiveness in the international market, we urge the country to continue to restore the export tax rebate ratio policy.

2. Proposal to increase the export tax rebate rate of wooden doors to 11%

Wooden door is an emerging wood product industry, but it has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is favored by the international market, and its exports are constantly increasing. However, this year, due to various factors such as weakening international market demand, RMB appreciation, rising raw material prices and rising labor costs, and lowering the export tax rebate rate, the cumulative export of wooden doors and their frames and thresholds totaled 259,355 tons in the first three quarters of last year. The amount is 423.53 million US dollars. In the first three quarters of this year, the cumulative export volume was 231,807 tons, and the export value was US $ 40.94 million. The export volume and export value decreased significantly. It is expected that exports will decline in the future, and the difficulties of wooden door export enterprises will further increase.

The wooden door industry in China is a labor-intensive industry like the furniture industry. As the country lists wooden doors as a primary product category, the export tax rebate rate for wooden doors is only 5%, which is 6 percentage points lower than the furniture export tax rebate rate. This makes the operation of wooden door export enterprises very difficult and limits the steady and rapid development of China's wooden door industry. We believe that with the rapid development of the wooden door industry in recent years, the wooden door products have been continuously upgraded and upgraded, and the technological content and added value have been continuously improved. Today's wooden door products are no longer traditional wooden doors, nor are they primary products. Technical aspects and quality requirements are not lower than furniture products; before 2008, the AQSIQ also included wooden doors in the furniture category when evaluating inspection-free products. The recent increase in the export tax rebate rate for furniture has been welcomed by furniture companies and has attracted great attention from wooden door companies. It is expected that the country will seriously examine the difficulties of wooden door export companies and increase the export tax rebate rate for wooden doors in due course.

In order to prevent the further decline of China's export of wooden doors and support SMEs to overcome economic difficulties and facilitate employment, it is recommended that the country refer to the export tax rebate rate for furniture and increase the export tax rebate rate for wooden doors (commodity code 441820090) as soon as possible.
