Focus! 2019 Government Report on the Work of the Automobile Related Events

The Second Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress opened at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on March 5. Premier Li Keqiang delivered a "Report on the Work of the Government of the State Council in 2019" to the conference. In this report, the auto industry has also been mentioned many times.After sorting out, the following key points of the auto industry are worth noting: implementing larger-scale tax cuts, deepening the reform of toll road system, accelerating the development of emerging industries, stabilizing auto consumption, and continuously promoting pollution prevention and control. Xinhuanet implements larger tax cuts and implements larger tax cuts. Inclusive tax cuts should be combined with structural tax cuts, with a focus on reducing the tax burden on manufacturing and small and micro enterprises. We will deepen the reform of value-added tax, reduce the current tax rate of 16% to 13% in manufacturing and other industries, and reduce the current tax rate of 10% to 9% in transportation, construction and other industries, so as to ensure that the tax burden of major industries is significantly reduced; The tax rate of 6% will remain unchanged, but through the adoption of supporting measures such as increasing tax credits for production and domestic services, we will ensure that the tax burden of all industries will only be reduced but not increased. We will continue to push forward the consolidation of the three tax rates and the simplification of the tax system. We will implement the policy on inclusive tax cuts for small and micro enterprises introduced at the beginning of this year. Originally, there was no consensus on whether to lower the manufacturing value-added tax rate by one point or two points. Some comrades think that too much reduction will have too great an impact on the growth of fiscal revenue. Some comrades think it should be lowered a little bit. But to my great surprise, it was neither one point nor two points in the end. Today the Prime Minister announced that the manufacturing industry China's value-added tax rate will be lowered by three points to 13 percent from 16 percent last year. In addition, the social security contribution rate will be lowered. Such as old-age insurance, pushed for a reduction from 19 per cent to 16 per cent at the provincial level, a further three points lower. Another example, the government work report also mentioned reducing the cost of electricity in the manufacturing industry, the average price of electricity in the general industry and commerce to reduce another 10%. So this series of measures for the development of China 's manufacturing industry has brought very good expectations, which also provides a strong support for manufacturing enterprises to tide over the current difficulties. Subsequently, in an interview with the Minister of Industry and Information Technology on March 5, Miao Wei, minister of industry and information technology, said that this series of measures has brought very good expectations for the development of China's manufacturing industry, which has also provided strong support for manufacturing enterprises to tide over the current difficulties. "The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has decided to do a good job in high-quality development of the manufacturing industry in the following areas," Miao said in an effort to implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. "We summed it up as" four speeds and one success. " He pointed out that the first acceleration is to speed up the building of manufacturing innovation capacity. This includes exploring the establishment of a "revealing and leading" mechanism, including making up for the lack of generic technology, accelerating the pace of building manufacturing innovation centers, and increasing investment in basic research. Also include strengthening the development of industrial manufacturing infrastructure capacity-building, such as basic components, raw materials and other aspects of attention. The second acceleration is to speed up the adjustment of the industrial structure. We will continue to do a good job in iron and steel and electrolytic aluminium industries in defusing excess production capacity, preventing the reactivation of floor steel bars and blind expansion of new production capacity . At the same time, we should strengthen the support for the technical transformation of traditional industries, through the use of new technologies, new processes, and the replacement of new equipment, so that they can transform and upgrade, and accelerate the development of emerging industries. The third acceleration is to speed up the development of integration. First of all, we should speed up the integration of industrialization and informationization. We should promote manufacturing enterprises to move towards intelligent manufacturing step by step in the direction of digitalization, networking and intelligentization. In addition, we should promote the integration of manufacturing and service industries, and promote the integration of military and civilian development. Fourth, to expedite the work of alleviating worries and difficulties. In addition to the implementation of these policies and measures put forward in the government work report, we should also increase the amount owed to private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. Before the Spring Festival had the effect of the first stage, by the end of this year to strive to collect more than half of the money owed. In addition, it is necessary to solve the long-standing financing difficulties of enterprises, financing is expensive, but also to establish a list of enterprise-related fees, these measures to solve the current difficulties faced by enterprises. The last one is "good", which is to create a better environment for the development of enterprises. These include greater "liberalization", streamlined administration, reduced registration time and cumbersome evidence-gathering procedures. In addition, we should strengthen the principle of competition neutrality in industrial policy, eliminate the discriminatory problems existing in our ownership system in the past, increase support for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, so that large and medium-sized enterprises can achieve harmonious development. Finally, we will further open up to the outside world, welcome foreign enterprises to invest in China, develop in China, and share the fruits of development with us. Meanwhile, I We should also encourage China's powerful enterprises to go global and develop in countries along the Belt and Road, so that they can integrate with their local counterparts and achieve win-win cooperation. We will deepen reform of the toll road system, reduce tolls for crossing roads and bridges, and eliminate unreasonable examination and approval of passenger and freight vehicles and arbitrary tolls and fines. Within two years, toll booths at provincial borders of expressways across the country will be basically abolished, and quick toll collection without stopping will be realized, thus reducing congestion and facilitating the masses. Cancel or reduce a batch of railway and port charges. Fees for special governance intermediary services. We will continue to clean up and standardize administrative fees and charges. Accelerate the construction of "one net" for charging list, make charging open and transparent, and leave no place to hide unauthorized charging. Subsequently, in an interview on the ministerial passage on 5 March, Li Xiaopeng, minister of transportation, answered a reporter's question on "canceling trans-provincial toll booths on expressways." He said: "China's expressways have been constructed in stages. In the past, provinces set up provincial border toll booths in accordance with the law. Now it seems to have an impact in terms of operational efficiency and operational experience." Li Xiaopeng said: "We conducted a pilot project last year, and at the end of the year, 15 provincial border toll booths between Jiangsu and Shandong, Sichuan and Chongqing were abolished, with good results. In 2019, priority will be given to key regions and provinces, and provincial highway toll stations will be abolished in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta region, and key provinces in the northeast and southwest. The goal of basically abolishing provincial border toll stations will be achieved by 2020. " Accelerate the development of emerging industries and accelerate the development of emerging industries. Deepen the research and development and application of big data and artificial intelligence, and foster a new generation of information technology, high-end Equipment, biomedical, new energy vehicles, new materials and other emerging industrial clusters to strengthen the digital economy. We will uphold inclusive and prudential regulation, support the development of new business formats and models, promote the platform economy, and ensure the healthy growth of the shared economy. Accelerate the advancement of "Internet +" in all sectors and fields. We will stabilize auto consumption and auto consumption and continue to implement preferential policies for the purchase of new-energy vehicles. We will develop new forms and models of consumption and promote the integrated development of online and offline consumption. We will improve rural distribution networks and support the development of e-commerce and express delivery. Strengthen the protection of consumer rights and interests, let the masses rest assured consumption, facilitate consumption. We will continue to promote pollution prevention and control. Consolidating and expanding the achievements of the blue sky defense campaign, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions will be reduced by 3% this year, and the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in key areas will continue to decrease. Continue to carry out Beijing Tianjin Hebei and surrounding Yangtze River Delta Fen-Wei Plain air pollution control tackle key issues strengthen industrial coal-fired motor vehicle pollution control of the three major sources.
