Textile Export Tax Rebate Retune 16% Behind Cited Controversy

The export rebate rate rose from 1 percentage point to 15% in the beginning of February, less than two months, and the textile and garment export tax rebate rate was ushered in second times during the year.

Recently, the Executive Council of the State Council decided to raise the export rebate rate of some textiles and garments starting from April 1st.

　　16%与预期的出入

The export tax rebate increase again has been expected in the market, but the speed and the amount is different from the original imagination, the sharp deterioration of export data in February is the direct cause of this increase.

At the two national meetings held in March, Qi Jianyan, a number of delegates and members, once again raised the export tax rebate rate of the textile industry.

　　赵林中的声音在两会上得到了很多赞同和支持，纺织服装业出口退税提高至17%似乎成了两会后业界的普遍预期。“但是，据我了解，由于各部门之间意见有所不同，最终应该是国务院领导拍板定为16%。”赵林中接受中国经济时报记者采访时这样表示。

"Due to the tighter national finances, the Ministry of finance is under great pressure.

　　据透露，此前商务部已经上交清单，要求将纺织服装的出口退税率调到17%。但这一建议受到财政部门的强烈反对，表示在政府赤字大幅增加的情况下，这样的调整将继续加大财政负担，难以承受。根据此前国家税务总局发布的数据，今年前两个月，全国实际办理出口退税额667亿元，比去年同期增长20.8%。而与此同时，中国出口下降了21.1%。

According to the data released by the Ministry of finance, from 1 to February, the tax revenue of the national fiscal revenue was 923 billion 727 million yuan, down 13% from the same period last year.

Experts analyzed that the government raised the export tax rebate rate on the other hand, although some products still have room for improvement, but under the current market demand, this operation shows the government's gradual and orderly regulation. If the intensity is too fierce, it will create an international market supply capability to increase too fast, resulting in a rapid decline in market prices, but will exacerbate the burden on enterprises.

"The export tax rebate rate has gone up, and the price may not be able to go up."

　　利润之外更重要的是信心

In fact, since the second half of last year, in the face of a serious decline in textile exports, the state has repeatedly raised the textile export tax rebate rate, and the textile export situation has markedly improved.

It is estimated that the export tax rebate rate will rise by 1%, and the total profit of textile and clothing will increase by 7.89% (7 billion 600 million yuan).

"Even if foreign businessmen use this policy to share their interests, in general, raising the export tax rebate rate will enhance the international competitiveness of our products, and win more market share and increase chips for us."

　　记者了解到，听说纺织品出口退税率要提高的消息后，不少企业已及时调整出货时间，将原本最近几天应该售出的货安排在了4月初。“除了给企业带来实实在在的利润空间之外，更重要的是带来信心。”赵林中对记者说，正如温总理在多个场合所强调的：信心有时候比黄金更重要。

As the news was released before the Canton Fair, it also directly enhanced the enthusiasm of enterprises to participate in the Canton Fair.

　　最终靠企业自身努力

In the interview with our reporter, Wang Qian, editor in chief of the first textile network, stressed that raising the export tax rebate rate is just a helpless choice for stabilizing exports. It is expedient and can not cure all diseases. It only provides a pitional period for the adjustment of enterprises. In the long run, only when the international market returns to warmer and orders increase, can enterprises really get through the crisis.

　　而且，我国出口退税在经历了连续上调以后，进一步通过出口退税来摆脱外贸困境的政策空间已经不大。“从政策上讲，出口退税率不可能不断提高。”李质仙认为，下一步还要看市场表现，但是再次提高到17%“零税率”的可能性极其微小，企业更需考虑上调后自身如何作为。

"The state raises the export tax rebate rate only to enhance the confidence of enterprises, the key is to rely on the ability of enterprises to improve themselves."

Moreover, "raising the export tax rebate rate has a larger negative effect."

Experts interviewed by reporters also believe that from another point of view, improving the export tax rebate is in fact inconsistent with the adjustment plan of the government to optimize the industrial structure and enhance the added value of products.

As an export enterprise, if we want to achieve sustained and stable development, we can not rely on government policies, but we should start with our pformation, change the traditional development mode, and improve business management and technology research and development as well as marketing.
