A few days ago, auto companies have received a draft for comments forwarded by relevant departments, clearly stating that different levels of vehicle and vessel taxes will be levied according to different emissions, but there is no exact news about when to start implementation.
Before the adjustment, the travel tax was levied across the board. For example, the annual travel tax paid by Alto, Mercedes-Benz and BMW with large displacement of 1.0 liter is 480 yuan/year.
The Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Provisional Regulations on Travel Tax in People's Republic of China (PRC), which came into effect on February 1 2007, divides passenger cars into four sub-tax items: large passenger cars, medium passenger cars, small passenger cars and minibuses, and the annual tax rate of large passenger cars ranges from 480 yuan to 660 yuan. Medium-sized buses have been upgraded from 420 yuan to 660 yuan; Minibus from 360 yuan to 660 yuan; The minibus goes from 60 yuan to 480 yuan. These four sub-tax items are not divided by displacement, and the tax paid by cars with different displacement is the same.
Taking Beijing 20 10 vehicle and vessel tax as an example, the specific implementation process is also divided into four grades: 1.0 300 yuan/year; 480 yuan/annual displacement 1.0 (inclusive); 8-seater-17-seater 540 yuan/year; 660 yuan, which has more than 0/8 seats per year/kloc-,is given different degrees of relief according to the time of car purchase because of the measures of limiting the number of cars by the tail. Obviously, the average passenger car is bounded by the displacement of 1.0 liter, which is only divided into two grades.
According to relevant news, the adjusted vehicle and vessel tax divides passenger cars into seven grades, and the models below 1.0 liter are the first grade; 1.0 ——1.6 liter secondary; 1.6-2.0 upgraded to level 3 ... The last level is a large-displacement vehicle with a capacity of more than 4.0 liters.
According to the adjustment method, the travel tax below 1.0 liter will not be adjusted, but from the second gear, the tax ceiling of each gear has changed greatly. Take 1.0— 1.6 liters as an example, the annual wine-making tax is the lowest in 360 yuan, and the highest is 1080 yuan; 2.0 liter displacement is considered from 900 yuan; For vehicles with large displacement of 4.0 liters or more, the threshold is more than 3,500 yuan, with a maximum of 1 10,000 yuan.
At present, the news has not been confirmed by the relevant state departments, but it is a foregone conclusion that different taxes will be levied according to different emissions, and this will not change.
Regardless of the tax amount, it is an improvement to tax according to different emissions, which has many benefits:
First of all, it embodies the principle of fairness and reasonableness. It is unfair to pay the same tax on a car with several million yuan as a car with tens of thousands of yuan, a 6.2-liter Hummer and 1.0-liter QQ.
Second, it is conducive to promoting energy conservation and emission reduction in the automotive industry. Whoever has a large emission will pay a higher price and pay for his own carbon emissions. Although the "rich people" who buy large-displacement cars may not care much, the travel tax is not paid once, but every year. If the maximum price limit of more than 4.0 liters is really raised to 1 10,000 yuan, then it is very painful for the owner like Hummer to pay 1 10,000 yuan every year.
Third, it is conducive to adjusting automobile structure, guiding automobile production and sales, and further promoting the sales of small-displacement vehicles. If the travel tax for 2.0-liter vehicles starts from 900 yuan to 2,000 yuan, under the influence of high oil price, travel tax, purchase tax and other policies, some consumers may switch to buying vehicles with a displacement below 1.6 liter.
Fourth, further enhance the competitiveness of self-owned brand models. At present, most of the self-owned brand models are below 2.0 liters, and the main models on the market are mostly small-displacement models. Although the travel tax is not much, as long as the policy is inclined to small displacement, independent brands can strengthen their advantages in this respect.
Adjusting the vehicle and vessel tax is conducive to energy saving and emission reduction, guiding the adjustment of consumption structure and promoting the development of automobile society, but it is only a part of many policies, and it is not expected to have immediate results, but it is better to adjust than not to adjust.
Taxes on automobiles in developed countries can be divided into three parts. The purchase link, the retention link and the use link, in which the tax collected by the purchase link and the retention link accounts for a small share of the total tax revenue, and the most important part is the use link.
From June 5438+1 October1in 2009, China implemented the reform of refined oil tax and fee, and cancelled six fees, such as road maintenance fee, waterway maintenance fee, road transportation management fee, road passenger and freight surcharge, waterway transportation management fee and water passenger and freight surcharge, which were originally charged in addition to refined oil prices, and gradually and orderly cancelled the government's second-class road repayment fees; At the same time, gasoline increases 0.8 yuan per liter and diesel increases 0.7 yuan per liter.
The fuel tax reform has been implemented for more than a year, and the effect is not obvious. What kind of cars do consumers want to buy? The burden has really increased. Most importantly, the oil price in China is unreasonably high.
Recently, there has been a lot of news and controversy about levying automobile environmental tax. Encouraging purchase and restricting use is the general direction. However, how to increase the use cost of vehicles with different displacement requires comprehensive design by relevant departments and serious implementation of relevant policies, so it is best not to levy environmental protection tax on vehicles in the near future.
