On July 5, Professor Lan Qingxin, a researcher at the Beijing Institute for Opening up and Vice President of the w88 casino of International Business and Economics at the w88 casino, was interviewed by a reporter from the Beijing Daily and expressed his views on "formulating unified tax standards and accelerating the coordinated development of free w88 zones." The relevant content was published in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei section of the Beijing Daily. The following is the content of the article.
In the early morning, the whistle pierced the mist, and a giant ship loaded with containers docked at Tianjin Port. At the pier, steel from Caofeidian, Hebei Province, and high-precision equipment from Yizhuang, Beijing, were used to pick up the boxes in as little as 1.5 hours using the "shipside pick-up" model, quickly integrating into the global supply chain. Not far away, the construction of the Beijing Daxing International Airport Airport Economic Zone is in full swing. The joint investment promotion teams of the three places are actively deploying high-end industries such as biomedicine and international commerce; a new batch of goods from the Xiongan New Area Pilot Free w88 Zone is ready to be shipped to Tianjin Port... Since this year, the coordinated development of the three free w88 zones has been full of vitality.
However, we must also note that the three free w88 zones still have problems such as unsynchronized tax policies and three major challenges in tax sharing.
Lan Qingxin, researcher at the Beijing Institute for Opening up and Opening up, Vice President of the w88 casino of International Economics and w88, w88 casinosaid that the out-of-sync tax policies of the three places are mainly reflected in two aspects.
First, the applicable tax rates for some types of taxes are different. Due to the natural differences in economic development levels and resource endowments between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the three places have different applicable tax rates for vehicle and vessel tax, urban land use tax, real estate tax, deed tax and other taxes. For example, a company headquartered in Beijing has branches or conducts business in Tianjin and Hebei. It needs to deal with the different tax rates of property tax, urban land use tax and other taxes in the three places. Differences in tax rates will cause companies to face different tax burdens. When making investment decisions, companies may tend to choose areas with lower tax rates for investment and layout.
The second is the uncoordinated tax preferential policies. In order to promote the innovative development of the region, various regions have previously established tax preferential policies, resulting in inconsistent standards for identifying innovation. For example, there is a large time lag before some preferential policies are promoted from Beijing to Tianjin and Hebei. This causes enterprises to face the problem of inconsistent tax preferential policies when operating across regions or transferring industries, which affects the layout and development of enterprises in the three places. Judging from the first batch of collaborative innovation results of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Pilot Free w88 Zone released in 2024, although there are innovative results in the field of taxation such as tax collaboration and co-governance, no groundbreaking detailed tax policies have been introduced.
Lan Qingxin suggested that, first, the actual economic development situation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region should be considered at the central level, and on the basis of full research and demonstration, a unified applicable tax rate standard for vehicle and vessel tax, urban land use tax, real estate tax, deed tax and other taxes in the region should be formulated, or a reasonable tax rate range should be specified for the three places to choose from, so as to avoid inconsistent tax burdens on enterprises due to tax rate differences, which would affect investment and industrial layout in the region. For example, we can refer to the practices of the Yangtze River Delta region to gradually unify the tax rates of some local taxes and promote the free flow and optimal allocation of factors within the region.
Second, establish a coordination mechanism for tax preferential policies in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, with the participation of finance, taxation and other relevant departments, unify innovation identification standards, sort out and integrate existing tax preferential policies in various places, and ensure the consistency and coherence of relevant policies within the region. For preferential policies in specific regions, research should be expedited on how to promote them to the entire free w88 pilot zone at an appropriate time point, so as to minimize the policy time gap, so that enterprises can fairly enjoy preferential policies when operating across regions or transferring industries, and promote the coordinated development of industries between regions.
