The country is brewing to reduce the import tariffs of some goods may be in the column

BCC Beijing February 21 News According to the economic voice of the central wide financial observation reported that Chinese purchases of cosmetics, powdered milk and luxury brand-related products overseas have been repeatedly reported by the media, which could improve in the near future, and the State administration of taxation is mulling a reduction in tariffs on some imports.　　This means that the prices of certain imported goods may be significantly reduced. In the last year or two, the high price of imported goods in China has spawned a peculiar phenomenon, that is, overseas purchasing, especially the development of online purchasing is unusually hot. 2010 China E-commerce Market Data Monitoring report shows that the 2010 overseas purchasing market turnover reached 12 billion yuan, the size of the big visible, and the results? Although consumers have been affordable, but once there are problems defending the difficult.　　In addition, because these goods are not imported in the normal way, the tax also lost serious. Now, the import link tariff to be lowered, the consumer most concerns such as cosmetics, powdered milk and so on are most likely to enjoy the policy first.　　To this, netizens have rejoiced, but also expressed concern, a wide variety of views, we first look at a few.　　From Zhengzhou, Henan Netizen said: If the import of milk powder tariffs lower, buy imported milk powder more and more cheap, more and more convenient, domestic some black-hearted milk powder enterprises completely no market, is a big good thing.　　Friends from Suzhou, Jiangsu, also feel particularly happy, but he did not know when to be able to implement, I hope not to wait too long.　　Users from Chongqing think that they do not know the relevant policy details how to set up, I hope the goal is to save the tax revenue and improve the people's livelihood, otherwise it will let everyone down.　　Shanghai netizens said that before the tax cut, the Chinese cosmetics market more than 90% of the share has been occupied by foreign brands, the next, domestic cosmetics business day is not better. It seems that there is a wide range of different perspectives.　　Next, please the economic voice of the special Observer, the Central University of Finance and Taxation school, vice president of Professor Liu Huan to comment. Moderator: Hello, Professor Liu. Recently, the news about Chinese consumers snapping up milk powder abroad is particularly much, the degree of the crazy Rob even caused the local people's worry, afraid they can't buy.　　This time the country is brewing to reduce the import tax, what do you think is out of consideration? Liu Huan: First of all, I think it is very good to brew this policy. Whether it is for our country to raise the level of industry, or for consumers is a good thing. Although the domestic milk powder after severe blow, but the current black-hearted milk powder incident is repeated occurrence, so for the milk powder, we are very concerned about its safety.　　Therefore, the introduction of some good products abroad for our Chinese market is a good catalyst. In my opinion, there are at least two advantages to reducing tariffs on imports of some commodities. First, this year is the 10 anniversary of our country's accession to the WTO. Ten years ago, after China's accession to the WTO, we have promised to implement the market system as soon as possible, so that China's tax system and market access system and international standards, now to a comprehensive commitment. Second, why start with powdered milk and cosmetics. I think the net friend said just right, if foreign high-quality milk powder into China, for the Chinese people this is a very good account.　　China's accession to the WTO will not only contribute to the world, but also enjoy the benefits of world economic development. Some netizens worry about whether the revenue will be lost. Because import and export tariffs in our China's current tax system is not a small proportion. Generally speaking, the new China's early establishment of tariffs accounted for 10% of our tax, and now less than 1%. But the 1% tariff has been lowered, which has a greater impact on the quality of trade and social markets in a country.　　This time the country adjusts the tax mainly for the purpose of adjusting the domestic market demand.　　Moderator: This import tariff to reduce, specifically which imports of goods tax will be reduced, how much decline can be achieved at present there is no exact news, you just mentioned there are milk powder, cosmetics, in addition, what do you think will include some kind of goods? Liu Huan: There are, for example, high-end consumer goods, the domestic is relatively scarce or a shortage of some high-tech, High-tech products, especially with people-related High-tech products.　　such as the ipad, iphone, etc. In China, the ipad levy of 1000 yuan is quite questionable.　　So the policy, in fact, is mainly to combat smuggling, once the smuggling activities are contained, the ipad or the iphone, which is imported through normal channels, is expected to reduce revenue. Therefore, we say that the prices of three types of imported products can be lowered. The first is the resources, because we are in China's shortage of resources is more serious, the second category is High-tech products, the third category is closely related to the people and people's livelihood products, the fourth category I think can also expect is high-end luxury goods. Because luxury goods now have a high tax, to what extent, to calculate a sum of money, a cosmetics in the foreign market to sell 100 yuan, import tariffs are about 30% to 40%, this is 130 yuan, if the basis of a further levy of 30% consumption tax will become 170 yuan, and then levy 17% value-added tax, becomes 190 yuan. Therefore, we say that domestic sales of foreign well-known brands of cosmetics than in foreign purchases of consumer goods about one times.　　So if this tax is lowered, it is a big boost to our domestic sales.　　Moderator: You also mentioned that some High-tech products like the ipad, the iphone and so on may also fall in tariffs, since last month, like the ipad, such as digital products have been reduced by 10%, do you think there will continue to fall in space? Liu Huan: I think there will be.　　From China's current overall trade situation, we have been a trade surplus for many years, excessive trade surplus caused our country foreign exchange reserves too much, but its use is not high, most of the foreign exchange reserves for financial derivative products, this is not appropriate. Moderator: Then ask Professor Liu Huan to answer questions from netizens, indeed, as you mentioned, tax cuts, consumers will get the benefits. Butis a netizen worry, lowering tariffs at the same time, such as cosmetics, milk powder and so on industries, domestic enterprises are facing a greater impact, some enterprises are not completely closed, you think the relevant domestic enterprises will cause what kind of impact, will it be like this netizen said? Liu Huan: Yes, domestic products are subject to a certain impact is certain, but this impact as long as the grasp of the good is beneficial. Because the market itself is a competitive market, the competitive market process, the first is the credibility of the second is the brand, the third or price.　　Foreign goods into China, our domestic products, if you have a good product, there will be no quality problems, there is still a consumer group. Because we know that like powdered milk and so-called high-end cosmetics, its consumption is a specific group of people. For example, such as lesbian use of high-grade cosmetics, not every woman is used, there is a considerable part of the low-end products. So in spite of lowering your taxes and lowering your price, there are still quite a large group of customers to buy domestically produced products. The impact is that the quality is not very good, especially like to eat milk powder, if there are serious quality problems, will endanger life, this fake and shoddy goods into the market is gradually shrinking. So I think, first of all, it is good for us to purify the domestic market. Second, also remind us the domestic market, our manufacturers must improve quality, to reduce prices, to allow people to enjoy more profits.
