Xinjiang takes the lead in the reform of resources and taxes to change from quantity to price

Gao Yongyu Chen Daixu Sun Wenxiang A few years of resource tax reform will be the first pilot in Xinjiang, crude oil, natural gas resources tax from the measure to the price levy. The Xinjiang work Symposium convened by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council was held in Beijing from May 17 to 19th.　　The meeting deployed a series of policies to help Xinjiang, and the resource tax reform was listed as the first initiative.　　The meeting suggested that by 2015 Xinjiang per capita GDP reached the national average level. Xinjiang's pilot resource tax, released late yesterday, confirmed that the resource tax would be the first pilot in Xinjiang.　　At the meeting of PetroChina's shareholder meeting yesterday morning, PetroChina chairman Jiemin the first financial reporter to answer the question, he revealed that Xinjiang will take the lead in the trial of resource tax reform information. "The news is certain that the government has made arrangements and we will follow the instructions of the Government." "Jiemin said.　　He also suggested that the timing of the resource tax reform could be used to rationalize the current system of tax and fee regimes, including special oil benefits. Oil special income refers to the proportion of income earned by the country from March 2006 when the oil-mining enterprises sell domestic crude oil after the international oil price exceeds a certain level.　　At present, the special income of oil is in the crude oil price exceeds 40 dollars per barrel levy, the implementation of the 5-level excess progressive, price-fixed rate of levy, the nature of the central fiscal non-tax income.　　Jiemin said that because of the appreciation of the renminbi, the current levy starting point is actually 33 U.S. dollars, he hoped that the relevant departments will be a resource tax and oil special income collection.　　In fact, as early as March, the national "two sessions", PetroChina has been with the Ministry of Finance, the NDRC, the general administration of taxation and other parties to discuss the specific details of the resource tax adjustment. According to data released by the National Energy Agency, Crude oil produced 189 million tonnes last year, if the measure, according to the current majority of the implementation of the 28 yuan per ton of standards to calculate, the total amount of oil resources tax is about 5.3 billion yuan, if the price to calculate, according to the current domestic crude oil prices per ton of 5000 to calculate, to the industry estimates of 5% of the tax rate,　　The national oil resources tax will be up to 47.25 billion yuan per year.　　If according to Xinjiang 2009 annual crude oil 25.18 million tons calculation, the resource tax will be as high as 6.295 billion yuan, can increase the income 40 to 5 billion.　　The resource tax reform has been delayed for several years.　　Bazhizhong, a professor at the School of Management at Changjiang University, said that China's current oil resources tax rate, including the use of resources, is only close to about 2% of the price of oil, and it cannot reflect the value of petroleum resources, nor can it play the economic role of oil resources tax.　　Xinjiang Autonomous Region Kuche County Committee Deputy secretary Peng Gang told this newspaper, because there are PetroChina and Sinopec two major enterprises in Kuche investment and stimulate the related industry development, Kuche revenue in 2006 broke through 1 billion yuan, of which 80% from the oil industry. "If the price is changed to the levy, only Xinjiang Shaya can be more than 100 million yuan a year revenue." A government official in Shaya County said in an interview with this newspaper.　　To improve the energy supply in the three counties of south Xinjiang, China Central Work Symposium on the use of resources to relax in Xinjiang, in the region and the surrounding areas of the market demand for access restrictions, and gradually relax the policy of natural gas utilization, increase the size of the local use of natural gas.　　As early as 2007, the State Council has designated Xinjiang as China's strategic base for energy resources, and issued "on the further promotion of Xinjiang economic and social development of a number of views" on coal power, coal chemical industry development to give instructions, Xinjiang will be quasi-east, Tuha, Yili, the four major coal fields for the base, vigorously develop coal chemical industry. Yang Chunxu, deputy director of the Institute of Economic Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said it provided Xinjiang with a policy base for developing coal chemical industry.　　Xinjiang has made an accurate reorientation of the development of coal industry: 600 billion tons of coal in Turpan Hami area is mainly used for "West Coal Transport", and 1.3 trillion tons of coal in the North slope of Tianshan and Yili River Valley mainly develop coal-electricity coal chemical industry. Xinjiang has been more oil, more coal and more gas since ancient times.　　In practice, however, the conversion rates of these rich natural resources remain limited.　　Yesterday, the National Energy Agency, through Xinhua news agency, said that China will improve the three counties in southern Xinjiang in 2-3 years (Kashi, the State of energy supply of Hotan, Kachin, and Bingtuan, and the three agricultural divisions of the Corps, is a stable, economical and clean resource for the economic and social development of the region.　　Wu Yu, deputy director of the National Energy Bureau, said China would "moderately advance" the deployment of coal, power, power grids and other energy infrastructure projects in the three counties of southern Xinjiang, using about 3 years to form a sufficient source of coal, a stable power supply, a sound grid and natural gas pipe network.　　According to the national plan, the total length of 2000 kilometres of natural gas pipelines will be built in 3 counties in the south of the country, with 22 of the 25 county-level cities being piped to natural gas, and the remaining three more remote counties being settled by liquefied natural gas.　　A very important project in this program is to continue to increase oil and gas exploration and development efforts to support the "gasification of South Xinjiang" project, investment in the new second pipeline.　　National power construction Xinjiang conference proposed that the central investment continued to tilt to Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Bingtuan, the "Twelve-Five-year" period of Xinjiang social fixed Assets Investment scale will be more than "Eleven-Five" period. According to the plan, "Eleven-Five" period of Xinjiang fixed assets investment strive to break through 1 trillion yuan.　　In this calculation, the "Twelve-Five" period of Xinjiang's social fixed assets investment will exceed 2 trillion yuan.　　East-West Research institute Dean Tangligiu told our correspondent, the central Xinjiang symposium held, meaning that Xinjiang entered a new era, the most important is the guiding ideology of the great transformation from stability to development to promote stability. He believes that Xinjiang should also strengthen its ability to innovate independently on the basis of support from the central government and the aid of the brothers and provincial counterparts.　　The economic growth brought by resource development can have an immediate effect, which is the main reason for the rapid growth of Xinjiang economy in recent years. Data show that in the first 4 months of this year, Xinjiang lightThe industrial realization increment value 4.426 billion yuan, the heavy industry realizes the increment value 50.67 billion yuan.　　The local industry increase is strong, realize the increment value 14.567 billion yuan, occupy the entire Xinjiang scale above the industrial increment value 26.4%, the growth 20%. Pailidong, deputy researcher at the Economic Research Institute of Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, said: "Local industry to employment, to our local financial tax contribution is relatively large, so the strong growth of local industry also shows the vitality of Xinjiang local industry and the bright future." But Tangligiu that Xinjiang should further optimize the development environment of small and medium-sized enterprises, especially the private economy.　　The development of small and medium-sized Enterprises is a sustainable power source of regional economic growth and the main force to solve local employment.　　This newspaper has previously reported that this March 29, the national counterpart to support the Xinjiang working Conference held in Beijing. According to the decision of the Conference, 19 provinces and cities nationwide will support 12 divisions in 12 states and regiments of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. These provinces and cities will take out their respective provinces and municipalities in the proportion of financial revenue to support the construction and development of counterpart cities, in the second year, according to the provincial and municipal revenue growth in the year, and then appropriately improve the proportion of funding for counterpart support.
