Laying out the economic development in the new year, various localities have successively "brightened" the practical measures for enterprises to relieve their burdens and enhance endogenous power. Over the past few days, this reporter has learned from the local two sessions held in Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Chongqing, and other places that the government work reports of many provinces (cities) have put forward many policies for reducing taxes and fees for enterprises and enhancing their competitiveness.
At present, the downward pressure on the mainland economy is still relatively large, and some enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are facing greater difficulties, and it is urgent to reduce the burden on enterprises and boost development confidence.

The Central Economic Work Conference requires the implementation of a new tax reduction and fee reduction policy, strengthen support for small and medium-sized enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households, manufacturing, risk mitigation, etc., and appropriately advance infrastructure investment.
All localities have actively implemented the requirements of the central authorities. The work report of the Anhui Provincial Government proposes to fully implement the national tax reduction and fee reduction policy, introduce policies and measures to help enterprises bail out and promote the stable and healthy development of the economy, and further reduce the burden on enterprises.
Li Kanzhen, director of the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said that Jiangsu Province has implemented the phased tax deferral measures for small and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry introduced by the state, and has handled a total of 20.12 billion yuan of deferred tax payments for 302,000 enterprises. A package of policy measures such as the "30 Suzhou Government" was introduced in a timely manner, and the new tax reduction and fee reduction exceeded 100 billion yuan, helping enterprises to stabilize production and efficiency and restore development.

Since 2021, affected by factors such as rising raw material prices, Zhejiang Yaohua Construction Component Technology Co., Ltd. has been under great financial pressure, and the phased tax deferral measures have effectively helped enterprises alleviate operational pressure. "Since November 2021, we have deferred the payment of taxes by 1.28 million yuan, effectively alleviating the current operational difficulties." Guo Yihong, head of the enterprise, said.
Financing problems have caused many small and medium-sized enterprises to "headache". Many places have proposed to guide financial institutions to increase support for the real economy, especially small and micro enterprises, scientific and technological innovation, and green development.
The work report of the Chongqing Municipal Government proposes: it will improve the government financing guarantee system for small and micro enterprises and covering all districts and counties, expand the scale of medium- and long-term loans and commercial value credit loans in the manufacturing industry; strengthen the supply guarantee of primary products, and help enterprises solve the shortage of factors such as coal shortage, lack of electricity, lack of core, lack of cabinets, and lack of labor, so that enterprises can enhance confidence, light load, and accelerate development.

"In order to alleviate the financial difficulties, we applied for a policy-based discount loan 'technology loan'. In the past, the application had to go to multiple departments, and the whole process took more than 40 days to run down. However, this time through the Tongling City online financial service hall online processing, two minutes to complete the application, less than two weeks the bank noticed the loan. Hu Guangrong, the relevant person in charge of Anhui Rongda Valve Co., Ltd., told reporters.
To reduce the burden and bail out, it is even more necessary to enhance the endogenous power of the enterprise. The Central Economic Work Conference demanded that the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry should be enhanced, a number of industrial base reconstruction projects should be launched, and a large number of "specialized and specialized" enterprises should be stimulated.
