Last week, a story about

Environmental tax

The news caused many concerns.

It is reported that the environmental tax collection scheme has been approved by the three departments of the Ministry of finance, the State Administration of Taxation and the Ministry of environmental protection, and has been reported to the State Council. The policy plan will be introduced next year.

An interview with the China energy newspaper told the State Council that the plan had been reported to the State Council.

According to people familiar with the matter,

Carbon tax

The plan has been handed over to the NPC, and will be approved by the NPC before the environmental tax.


Environmental taxes lock sulfur dioxide and wastewater


Environmental taxes are not independent.

Tax category

It includes sulfur dioxide tax, water pollution tax, noise tax, solid waste tax and garbage tax.

Ma Zhong, director of the school of Environmental Sciences of Renmin University of China, said in an interview with the China energy newspaper that the environmental tax was introduced in the form of independent tax, and the two tax items of sulphur dioxide and wastewater were collected first.

The initial levy is equivalent to the amount of sewage charges, and the tax payers are the units that discharge pollutants.

As far as energy industry is concerned, oil enterprises and power plants are more seriously affected by environmental taxes.


According to reports, the reported environmental tax collection scheme originated from the original sewage charges.

Ma Zhong told this reporter: "the calculation and confirmation of pollution emissions are responsible by the environmental protection department.

The specific tax base and tax rate, and how the central and local governments allocate tax revenues will be determined by the relevant ministries and commissions.


People in the industry expressed concern that environmental monitoring is very important and directly related to the determination of sewage discharge and the amount of tax.

If we only use the "platform" of sewage charges, whether the environmental tax can be collected will become an unknown number.

In May this year, a Xinjiang enterprise was exposed to a total of 135 million of the accumulated sewage charges.

"Before the collection of sewage charges is definitely insufficient, monitoring is not in place.

It is hard to say whether the environmental tax can really play a role. "

Ma Zhong told this reporter.


Due to various considerations of the macro economic situation and the burden of enterprises, the initial tax burden on environmental taxes is not high, and how to raise the tax rate and raise the tax rate.

"It depends on the macro economic situation, such as inflation rate and electricity price."

Ma Zhong said.


Environmental tax news has been reported, environmental protection stocks, sewage treatment enterprises stocks rose substantially, some analysts said that the introduction of the environmental tax will be good for sewage treatment and energy saving and environmental protection industries.

However, one industry believes that the market reaction sometimes does not really reflect the meaning and purpose of policy.


The industry said that although the environmental tax has attracted much attention, at present, too much hope is unrealistic.

At present, coal prices are high and electricity companies are not strong, which will directly restrict the implementation and implementation of environmental taxes.

"The positive role of environmental tax is worth affirming, but it is hard to say how hard it is.

It shows that the government is more serious and serious about environmental issues.

However, it should be noted that the environmental tax can not play its proper role if the energy price system problem is not solved.


Carbon tax is expected to come out first.


Liu Huan, deputy dean of the tax School of Central University of Finance and Economics, said in an interview with our reporter that the media had misread the environmental tax.

According to the provisions of the legislative law, the introduction of new taxes and the adjustment of old taxes must be approved by the NPC through legislative procedures.

"Environmental tax reporting to the State Council is still a long time away from the NPC's examination and approval.

In fact, the carbon tax has to go faster and has been reported to the National People's Congress. From this procedure, the carbon tax will definitely come out before the environmental tax. "

Liu Huan said.


In last year's Copenhagen conference, our country promised to strive for GDP emissions per unit of carbon in 2020 down by 40-45% compared to 2005.

Many experts say that once the carbon tax is introduced, many energy consuming industries will be directly affected.

"Simply speaking, the amount of carbon that an enterprise needs to buy is the amount of carbon emissions it needs to pay.

Of course, the state may give some financial subsidies. "

Liu Huan said, "just like the environmental tax, carbon tax will also increase the cost of the enterprise, so when to publish it, we need to choose the right time."
