[Focus on the Two Sessions] Weiqiao Textile Zhang Shiping: Cotton input deduction should be increased from 13% to 17%

“This is the tenth time I have proposed this motion.” Zhang Shiping, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Shandong Weiqiao Entrepreneurship Group Co., Ltd., told reporters that he brought this bill this year The motion still recommends that the country introduce policies as soon as possible to implement unified taxes on the cotton textile industry and increase the cotton input deduction from 13% to 17%.

“I proposed this motion for the first time in 1998 at the first session of the Ninth National People’s Congress, and it has been done more than 10 times now. I think the policy of “high levy and low deduction” of value-added tax for cotton spinning enterprises is unreasonable and discriminatory. .” As the head of a large cotton textile company and the richest man in Shandong on this year’s Hurun Rich List, Zhang Shiping wears simple clothes. The reporter found that the mobile phone he was holding was a simple “elderly mobile phone.” “Haha, this mobile phone costs 200 yuan. You can buy 10 for 2,000 yuan.” The reporter stared at the mobile phone in his hand in surprise. , Zhang Shiping smiled at reporters.

But when talking about the proposal, he looked solemn, “In the current value-added tax deduction for cotton spinning enterprises, the input tax rate for purchasing cotton is 13%, and the output tax rate for the final product is 17%. This means that cotton spinning enterprises Even if the enterprise does not achieve value-added and sells the purchased cotton at the original price, it will still have to bear a 4% tax. The corporate tax burden is very heavy.”

Zhang Shiping said that the main reason why this problem has existed for a long time is This is because in the late 1990s and early 21st century, under the early effects of my country’s liberalization of the cotton market and its accession to the WTO, the cotton textile market situation was better, and the profit margins of enterprises were relatively high. % of unreasonable taxes and fees can still be afforded. However, since 2007, cotton textile enterprises have faced nationwide difficulties. Although some large enterprises, such as Weiqiao, have used their advantages in other aspects to drive up the wages of workers, some cotton textile enterprises currently only maintain a low profit level due to their international competitiveness. Many small and medium-sized enterprises suffered serious losses.

“Now other agricultural and sideline products including corn have solved this problem, but cotton has not been solved. This is very unreasonable and discriminatory.” Zhang Shiping said that in recent years, a single The competitiveness of textile enterprises in the international arena is very weak. At present, my country’s cotton quotas are still implemented. The price of domestic cotton per ton is three to five thousand yuan higher than that of foreign countries. Moreover, foreign veils and cotton fabrics have crowded out the domestic market, making domestic Cotton textile enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are struggling even more, and the domestic market is gradually lost. Coupled with this unreasonable tax policy, it directly affects the survival of the cotton textile industry. This not only affects the stability of the employment of migrant workers, but also restricts the improvement of migrant workers’ wage income levels. The entire industry has great efforts to solve the problem of high taxes and deductions. The voice is very strong.

“It is recommended that the country introduce policies as soon as possible to implement unified taxation for the cotton textile industry, increase the cotton input deduction from 13% to 17%, and make the input and output tax rates consistent, with the same taxes and deductions.” Zhang Shiping He told reporters that after the implementation of this policy, it can provide cotton spinning enterprises with a relatively relaxed development environment, accelerate technological progress and structural adjustment of the cotton textile industry, improve the competitiveness of the textile industry, solve the employment problem of more than 20 million migrant workers, and also help improve labor-intensive industries. The income of industrial workers has laid the foundation, enabling enterprises to significantly increase workers’ wages and promoting farmers’ income increase.
