With the rapid development of China's economy, the export tax rebate policy has played an important role in promoting foreign trade growth, stabilizing employment, and other aspects. However, in recent years, the adjustment of China's export tax rebate policy has had a profound impact on the chemical foreign trade industry. This article will analyze the impact of the adjustment of export tax rebate policies on the chemical foreign trade industry, as well as how the industry can respond to the opportunities and challenges brought by the new situation.
The adjustment of export tax rebate policy is mainly aimed at optimizing the export structure, promoting economic transformation and industry clearance. According to the announcement released by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, starting from December 1, 2024, the tax rebate for aluminum, copper, and some oil and fat products will be cancelled, and the export tax rebate rate for some finished oil products, photovoltaics, batteries, and some non-metallic mineral products will be reduced from 13% to 9%.
The adjustment of export tax rebate policies means that chemical enterprises will face higher cost pressures. Taking raw materials such as aluminum and copper as examples, canceling tax refunds will lead to increased costs for enterprises, thereby affecting their export competitiveness. In addition, the reduction of export tax rebate rates for some chemical products will also increase the burden on enterprises.
The adjustment of export tax rebate policies will promote industrial restructuring in the chemical industry. On the one hand, enterprises will increase their efforts in technological innovation and product research and development to enhance product added value and adapt to the new export environment; On the other hand, enterprises will gradually eliminate outdated production capacity and optimize their industrial layout.
The adjustment of export tax rebate policies may lead to intensified competition in the chemical foreign trade market. On the one hand, some companies may exit the market due to rising costs, while on the other hand, new entrants to the market will face higher barriers to entry. This will have a certain impact on the overall competitiveness of the chemical industry.
Faced with cost pressure and market competition, chemical enterprises should increase research and development investment, improve product added value, and enhance export competitiveness. Through technological innovation, develop high-tech products with independent intellectual property rights to meet the needs of the international market.
