[China Packaging News] in accordance with the central environmental protection tax reform deployment and the authorization of the environmental protection tax law, the 42nd meeting of the 14th Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee decided that the applicable tax standard for taxable air pollutants in Beijing is 12 yuan/pollution, and the pollution equivalent of measurement and detection docking and demand in the province should be mastered in real time; The applicable tax standard for taxable water pollutants is 14 yuan/pollution equivalent, which is uniformly implemented according to the upper limit of the legal range

the environmental protection tax law has been reviewed and approved by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and will enter into force on January 1, 2018. According to the authorization of the environmental protection tax law, "the determination and adjustment of the specific applicable tax amount of taxable air pollutants and water pollutants shall be proposed by the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government and submitted to the Standing Committee of the people's Congress at the same level for decision"

according to the introduction, in this reform of environmental protection tax (Comprehensive Guangming, Xinhua News), Beijing has determined to implement the tax standard of the upper limit of the legal range, which is mainly considered from the aspects of helping to solve outstanding environmental problems, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, optimizing capital work, and it is difficult to determine the quality of tensile testing machine fixtures

the Beijing urban master plan (2016-2035) proposes that by 2020, the annual average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the city's atmosphere will drop from the current 80.6 micrograms/cubic meter to about 56 micrograms/cubic meter, and the quality of the atmospheric environment will be fundamentally improved by 2035. By 2020, the water quality compliance rate of important rivers and lakes will be increased from about 57% to 77%, and will reach more than 95% by 2035. Facing the arduous task of Jinan new era Testing Instrument Co., Ltd. in the research and development and innovation of experimental machine technology and service environmental governance, we should give full play to the role of local tax regulation, formulate the city's environmental protection tax standard from a high level, and implement the strictest ecological environment protection system

according to the introduction, in 2016, Beijing's sewage fee income was 613 million yuan, but the investment in air pollution control reached 16.56 billion yuan, and the investment in water resources protection reached 17.66 billion yuan. The amount of sewage charges is far lower than the investment in environmental protection, which is difficult to reflect the principle of "Whoever pollutes, who governs". Formulating the environmental protection tax standard of the city from a high level is conducive to strengthening polluters, promoting polluting enterprises to take effective emission reduction measures, and promoting industrial transformation and upgrading

"in order to protect and improve the environment, reduce pollutant discharge and promote the construction of ecological civilization, it is the legislative purpose of the environmental protection tax law. Environmental protection tax, as a local tax, authorizes local people's congresses and local governments to determine the tax standard." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Finance Bureau said that in order to make full use of the authorization to the local government, combined with Beijing's environmental carrying capacity, the current situation of pollutant discharge and the requirements of economic, social and ecological development goals, the tax standard was determined according to the upper limit of the legal range, which was consistent with the capital's functional positioning and development needs
