The words of the company's head of finance speak to the hearts of many Longjiang enterprises. The taxation department of our province has thoroughly studied and implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, actively practiced the concept of green development, accurately implemented preferential tax policies for green development, promoted the green transformation of enterprises with the leverage of "green taxation", and empowered the high-quality development of "Green Longjiang".
Helping energy-intensive enterprises transform into "green factories"
Walking into the production workshop of Mudanjiang Hengfeng Paper Co., Ltd., the blue automatic papermaking machine is running efficiently, and the white paper is shuttling quickly between the machines...... From the former large polluter to the national "green factory", Heilongjiang Province "smart factory" and many other honorary titles, this 71-year-old state-owned enterprise has achieved a magnificent turnaround.
On the road of green transformation of Hengfeng Paper, the support of the tax department is undoubtedly an important driving force. "In recent years, the tax department has taken the initiative to come to the door many times, to provide us with preferential tax policy counseling, to help us calculate the 'green benefit account', the company's pollutant emissions in line with national and local standards, has enjoyed the exemption of environmental protection tax, reduced by 50% of the environmental protection tax and other preferential tax policies, a total of more than 50 yuan reduction, which not only reduces the company's production line green transformation, environmental protection equipment investment and other aspects of the financial pressure, but also in response to the national large-scale trade-in policy to provide real support." Li Yingchun, general manager of Hengfeng Paper Co., Ltd., told reporters with emotion.
Li Yingchun introduced that a series of green and low-carbon projects and energy-saving and emission reduction measures such as clean energy, energy conservation and emission reduction, waste heat recovery, and garbage classification have been integrated into all aspects of the company's production and operation, and the green and low-carbon development strategy is giving new life to the "time-honored brand".
Green development is the background color of high-quality development, and the tax departments in our province have strengthened information sharing with the Ecological Environment Bureau, the Water Affairs Bureau, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and other departments, accurately screened taxpayers who meet the tax preferential policy standards related to energy conservation and environmental protection, implemented a "one-to-one" tracking service and problem feedback mechanism, and actively met the needs of enterprises through policy push, door-to-door service, etc., and solved the worries of enterprises about equipment renewal, energy conservation and emission reduction.
Promote the transformation and upgrading of mining enterprises to "green".
In early summer, the machines in the production workshop of Heihe Heilongjiang Duobaoshan Copper Co., Ltd. roared, and the ball mill was running at full capacity. As the largest installed power of mineral processing enterprises in China, the company not only leads its peers in production capacity, but also takes energy conservation, emission reduction and ecological restoration as a long-term development goal, up to now, has invested more than 5,000 yuan for ecological environment restoration construction, with a total green area of nearly 200,000 square meters.
"Behind green development, we need to invest heavily in environmental protection. In the past three years, we have enjoyed a large amount of corporate income tax reduction and exemption from the R&D expense plus deduction policy, which has provided strong financial support for the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. We have invested these funds in the comprehensive utilization of mining waste resources and the environmental remediation of mining areas, which has effectively improved the environmental protection level of the enterprise. Zhang Lizhong, general manager of the company, introduced.
The reporter learned from the Heilongjiang Provincial Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation that the tax departments in various parts of the province have thoroughly implemented the resource tax law and strengthened the collection and management of resource tax; Actively implement the tax reduction and exemption policies for the mining of associated ores and tailings, guide mineral enterprises to make full use of resources, effectively play the tax adjustment mechanism, promote the improvement of resource utilization efficiency, and effectively control resource waste.
Chang Wanchang, chief financial officer of Baotailong New Materials Co., Ltd., told reporters that with the help of multiple preferential tax policies such as environmental protection tax reduction and exemption policies, the company has continuously promoted the green transformation of the coal chemical industry and the green upgrading of the industrial chain, and has now developed into a leading graphene production enterprise in China, and the graphene products produced are widely used in aerospace, new energy, electronic information and other fields.
Give full play to the role of leverage guidance to protect the clear waters and green mountains
With strong ecological endowments such as large forests, grasslands, large wetlands, large lakes, large boundary rivers, large ice and snow, etc., "building a solid ecological security barrier in the northern part of the motherland" is a heavy responsibility and mission on the shoulders of Longjiang. In the midst of lucid waters and lush mountains, tax levers play an important guiding role in pollution control, emission reduction and carbon reduction: more emissions and more levies, less emissions and less levy, and no emissions and no levy, continue to strengthen the tax collection and management of high-energy-consuming and high-polluting enterprises, and promote high-energy-consuming enterprises to reduce emissions and carbon emissions. In 2023, the Provincial Taxation Bureau will implement 1.181 billion yuan of green and low-carbon, ecological and environmental protection related reduction and tax exemption policies, and handle tax refunds of 809 million yuan. Tax departments at all levels silently guard the vibrant green ecology with their own persistent efforts, and help Longjiang continue to explore new ways of ecological priority and green development.
In Yichun City, which has the reputation of "natural oxygen bar", North Cement Co., Ltd. has invested more than 10 million yuan in two years to improve pollutant treatment methods, introduce efficient combustion technology, introduce advanced equipment and management concepts such as safety intelligent management system, so that the emissions of solid dust and nitrogen oxides will be reduced by 20%, and the company has successfully reached the standard as the first provincial "green factory" in Yichun City. In this process, the "Green Tax Helping Enterprises" working group of the Yichun Municipal Taxation Department has played a significant role. "The 'Green Tax Helping Enterprises' team often takes the initiative to send us applicable preferential tax policies, and through 'face-to-face' precise counseling, we continue to stimulate the enthusiasm of our enterprises for pollution control and emission reduction with real tax benefit figures." said the head of the company.
"Next, the provincial taxation department will further strengthen the analysis of green taxation, expand the scope and intensity of green tax regulation, do a good job in the collection of environmental protection tax on volatile organic compounds, and better play the basic, pillar and guarantee role of taxation in national governance, and contribute more tax power to the comprehensive promotion of green Longjiang construction."
