Behind the enthusiasm of Guangzhou Auto Show, the confidence of vehicle manufacturers, upstream and downstream parts companies, automobile practitioners, consumers and other participants is gradually restored. According to the statistics of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the national production and sales of new energy vehicles increased by 69.7% and 104.5% respectively in10. 1-10, although the growth rate of production and sales of new energy vehicles declined compared with the same period of last year, the decline rate was significantly reduced by 9.5 and 10.6 percentage points compared with1-September.
Recently, the State Council issued the "New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)", which made overall arrangements from the aspects of technological innovation, industrial ecology, integrated development, infrastructure, open cooperation, etc., and pointed out the direction for the long-term healthy development of the industry and boosted confidence. In terms of taxation, the plan proposes to improve the system of policies and regulations and implement preferential tax policies related to new energy vehicles.
Guangdong is one of the major automobile production bases in China, with obvious advantages in automobile industry clusters, such as BYD, GAC Chuanqi, Xpeng Motors and other independent brands. In order to promote the high-quality and sustainable development of new energy automobile industry and accelerate the construction of a powerful automobile country, Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau fully supports the development of regional new energy automobile industry, and helps new energy automobile enterprises 100% to enjoy the tax support policy by taking the road of implementing preferential policies with the goal of "fast, practical and detailed".
Automobile is not only a means of travel, but also a strategic commanding height of new technology and advanced manufacturing industry in the future, and occupies an important position in the industrial economic system. At present, the automobile industry is undergoing a century-long transformation, and the advent of new energy vehicles has made the automobile, a modern vehicle that has been born for more than a century, have more functions and imagination, which has also brought about changes in the industrial value chain and ecological services.
After years of cultivation and development, Guangdong's automobile industry has formed a relatively complete industrial system, the vehicle R&D capability has been significantly enhanced, the quality level has been steadily improved, and the cultivation of independent brands has made positive progress. New energy vehicles are at the leading level in China and have become an important automobile industry base in China.
In order to cultivate and expand the growth point of green development, Guangdong Province issued the Action Plan for Developing Strategic Pillar Industry Clusters of Automobile in Guangdong Province this year, and proposed that by 2025, the automobile output will exceed 4.3 million, including 600,000 new energy vehicles and more than150,000 public charging piles for new energy vehicles.
However, at the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic suddenly came, and the automobile industry once fell to freezing point, but it also promoted profound supply-side changes in the new energy automobile industry.
In order to help Guangdong build a strategic pillar industrial cluster of automobiles and accelerate the development of new energy automobile industry, Guangdong tax authorities actively implement preferential tax policies. During the epidemic period, we will actively publicize preferential tax policies, flexibly provide "non-contact" services, solve the "urgent need" for enterprises to use tickets, and start online "expert consultation" counseling to continuously optimize the tax payment service experience, help enterprises to resume work and production, and promote the development of Guangdong's new energy automobile industry into the "fast lane".
As the core carrier of Guangzhou Automobile Group's new energy automobile business, Guangzhou Automobile Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Automobile Aian") has delivered over100000 vehicles since its establishment in July 20/7, setting a new record for the fastest delivery in the smart car market.
In 2020, the sales volume of GAC Ai 'an rose against the trend. The monthly sales volume of1-1totaled about 53,000 vehicles, up about 6 1% year-on-year. At the same time, the company seized the development opportunity and, with the support of more than 70 invention and application patents, launched the "four-in-one" integrated electric drive, which enabled the Ai 'an series of vehicles to enter the era of 100 kilometers acceleration for 2 seconds.
Charging problem is an important factor limiting the development pace of new energy vehicles. Guangzhou Yiwei Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yiwei Energy"), which is accelerating the layout of the charging pile market, was affected by the epidemic in the first half of this year, and its construction speed slowed down. However, under the dual incentives of policy subsidies and tax incentives, its construction speed accelerated significantly in the third quarter.
According to Yin Hong, regional manager of the charging service department of Yiwei Energy, in the third quarter of this year, the company has nearly 200 new stations and nearly 1000 new piles.
Established only five years ago, Yiwei Energy has become the largest community charging service provider in China, benefiting from preferential policies and tax dividends, such as the exemption of enterprise income tax from subsidies for new energy charging facilities and the reduction of social security fees during the epidemic, which greatly reduced the operating costs of Yiwei Energy.
In addition, under the policy dividend, the contrarian rise in sales of new energy vehicles is also inseparable from the improvement of R&D and innovation capabilities of enterprises. Guangzhou Xpeng Motors Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xpeng Motors") was established in 20 14. It is not only a leading smart car manufacturing company in China, but also a technology company that integrates the frontier innovation of Internet and artificial intelligence.
"Last year, our R&D expenses plus corporate income tax deduction exceeded 200 million yuan, and the social security fees directly reduced in the first half of this year exceeded 1 100 million yuan, which directly eased the cash flow pressure." Tang Kangkang, chief financial officer of Xpeng Motors, said.
It is understood that in 20 19, the R&D expenditure in Xpeng Motors exceeded 2 billion yuan, and the large-scale preferential tax policies injected more "flowing water" into the continuous innovation of enterprises. This year1-August, Xpeng Motors also enjoyed a phased social security fee reduction of 33 million yuan, a tax refund of 84 million yuan, and the support of tax incentives such as R&D expenses plus deduction and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.
During the epidemic period, with the support of the tax authorities, Xpeng Motors made every effort to launch the Tucki P7 intelligent coupe with long battery life, which was favored by many customers and injected a "cardiotonic agent" for the comprehensive resumption of work and production. Driven by powerful intelligent dual engines, P7' s localized autonomous driving performance is outstanding, and the Internet of Everything and the open intelligent ecosystem lead the intelligent travel life.
In August, Xpeng Motors (NYSE:XPEV) was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the third new China car-making force to be successfully listed in the United States after Weilai Automobile (NYSE:NIO) and LI (NASDAQ:LI).
In the first half of this year, despite the year-on-year decline in automobile production and sales affected by the epidemic, Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau has continuously increased tax relief for enterprises with high R&D investment. With the epidemic being gradually controlled and the economy gradually recovering, new models on the supply side of the industry have been continuously listed, and production and sales are rapidly recovering.
In the future, with the decline of parts cost, the advancement of intelligent networking technology and the improvement of charging and replacing infrastructure, the brand competitiveness of new energy vehicles in Guangdong Province will continue to improve, and the industry will usher in a new round of growth cycle, from "tax policy-driven" to "market-driven".
