Recently, the executive meeting of the State Council determined measures to promote the steady growth of the industrial economy and the development of special difficulties in the service industry. On February 18, the State Council New Office held a press conference to introduce the relevant measures. Let's take a look at --
Q: What targeted measures have been introduced for the five industries of catering, retail, tourism, highway, waterway, railway transportation, and civil aviation?
National Development and Reform Commission:
In addition to proposing 10 measures that can be applied to all service industries, the policy document also proposes more targeted relief measures for the five special difficulties of catering, retail, tourism, road, waterway and railway transportation, and civil aviation that have been heavily affected by the epidemic and have a large employment capacity.
For the catering industry, it is proposed to give subsidy support to employees of catering enterprises for regular nucleic acid testing, guide Internet platform enterprises such as takeaway to further reduce the service fee standards of merchants in the catering industry, and reduce the operating costs of relevant catering enterprises.
For the retail industry, it is proposed to use the service industry development funds to support the construction of the county commercial system and improve the backbone network of agricultural product circulation.
For the tourism industry, it proposes to temporarily withdraw the tourism service quality assurance fund and support travel agencies to undertake 7 measures such as trade union activities of institutions and institutions that meet the regulations.
For the highway and waterway railway transportation industry, it proposes six measures such as exempting the value-added tax on public transportation services in stages and further increasing the local funds for vehicle purchase tax revenue subsidies.
For the civil aviation industry, it is proposed to subsidize eligible aviation routes and safety capacity building through the Civil Aviation Development Fund, and establish a green channel for airlines and civil aviation airports seriously affected by the epidemic to register and issue debt financing instruments.
The policy focus of this service industry policy measure is to address the special difficulties faced by the service industry and help enterprises tide over difficulties and resume development.
Taking the "rent reduction and reduction" policy as an example, it is clearly required that "small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry in the county-level administrative region listed as high-risk areas in the epidemic in 2022 will rent state-owned houses, and in 2022, the rent will be reduced by 6 months, and the rent in other regions will be reduced by 3 months". At the same time, for those who rent non-state-owned housing, it is also proposed that all localities coordinate various types of funds to give appropriate assistance. For house owners who have reduced or waived rent, this year's real estate tax and urban land use tax will be reduced or reduced in accordance with regulations, and non-state-owned housing rental entities will be encouraged to reasonably share the losses caused by the epidemic on the basis of equal consultation.
Q: The impact of the epidemic on the service industry is greater than that of other industries, what are the arrangements for accurate epidemic prevention in the service industry?
The voice of the main body of the service industry for the scientific and accurate implementation of epidemic prevention and control is very high. To this end, we have specifically proposed the precise implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures this time.
·“ The "four precisions" is to establish a precise monitoring mechanism, to improve the ability of accurate identification, to strengthen accurate control and isolation, and to promote the concept of precision protection.
·“ Three must not", the first must not, must not break through the relevant provisions of epidemic prevention and control to lock down the city, must not be unnecessary, do not apply for approval to interrupt public transportation. Second, it is not allowed to implement shutdown measures or extend the shutdown time for restaurants, supermarkets, scenic spots, movie theaters and related service establishments without a policy basis. Third, it is not allowed to add epidemic prevention and control measures to the service industry without authorization on the basis of the requirements of the epidemic prevention policy of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council. Where it is truly necessary to adopt measures such as lockdown and closure of areas, interruption of traffic, or strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic on the current basis, it must be reported to the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council for approval before implementation. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of "increasing the number of layers" in the prevention and control of the epidemic, it is also specially proposed that the people's governments at all levels should coordinate the overall requirements of the epidemic prevention and control measures in their respective regions, and establish a special working mechanism for reflecting, verifying and correcting the problem of "increasing the number of layers" of epidemic prevention and control measures.
Q: For industries with special difficulties, what are the precise support measures in terms of tax policy?
Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation:
First, increase support for inclusive tax policies. This year, we will continue to implement the tax and fee reduction measures that will expire at the end of 2021 to support small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, and increase the preferential policy to further alleviate the operating pressure of small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, and enterprises in the service industry will fully benefit. The first is to continue the policy of adding value-added tax deductions to the service industry, and in 2022, the deductible input tax for taxpayers in the production and living service industries in the current period will continue to be deducted by 10% and 15% respectively. The second is to expand the scope of application of the "six taxes and two fees" in 2022, and reduce the applicable entities of the "six taxes and two fees" levied by the provincial people's government within the 50% tax range, from small-scale taxpayers of value-added tax to small and low-profit enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households. The third is to encourage all localities to give relief to taxpayers who have real difficulties in paying real estate tax and urban land use tax in 2022 according to the authorization of the regulations and local realities. The fourth is to increase the pre-tax deduction of equipment and appliances for small and medium-sized enterprises in 2022. For equipment and appliances newly purchased by small and medium-sized enterprises with a unit value of more than 5 million yuan in 2022, a one-time pre-tax deduction with a depreciation period of 3 years can be selected, and the depreciation period of 4 years, 5 years and 10 years can be halved. Enterprises can enjoy preferential treatment on a quarterly basis, and the losses caused by insufficient deductions in the current year can be carried forward and deducted in the next 5 tax years.
Second, give policy preference to industries with special difficulties. In view of the service industry that has been greatly affected by the epidemic and other factors, we will further implement targeted and effective tax policy measures to help enterprises bail out. In 2022, vat on public transport services such as ferries, bus passengers, subways, urban light railways, taxis, long-distance passenger transport, and shuttle buses will be exempted.
Third, resolutely stop arbitrary collection of fees, arbitrary apportionment, and arbitrary fines. Adopt practical and effective measures to stop arbitrary collection of fees, arbitrary apportionment, and arbitrary fines, study and implement special rectification action plans, improve the coordinated governance and joint disciplinary action mechanism for rectifying enterprise-related arbitrary fees, prevent the effects of various bailout policies for assisting enterprises in the service industry from being offset by the "three chaos", and ensure that the effects of the policies are not discounted.
Q: How will we make precise efforts to support enterprises in special difficult industries such as industry and service industries to recover and develop and stabilize jobs?
Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security:
"Down" – Continuation of the rate reduction policy. The policy of reducing unemployment insurance and work injury insurance rates in stages will be implemented for another year until April 30, 2023.
"Return" - improve the standard of returning to stable posts. Unemployment insurance stable post return policy continues to be implemented, for the service enterprises that do not lay off employees and reduce layoffs, the unemployment insurance premiums are returned in accordance with a certain proportion, and at the same time, it is clearly stipulated that the proportion of returns to small and medium-sized and micro enterprises will be raised from the current 60% to 90%.
"Delay" - increase the intensity of deferred payment of social security premiums. Provinces with large balances in unemployment insurance and work-related injury insurance funds are allowed to implement a deferred payment policy in stages for catering, retail and tourism enterprises in the service industry, and the specific measures shall be determined by the provincial people's governments. Eligible enterprises that submit an application may, upon approval of the people's government of the place of participation, postpone payment for a period of not more than one year, and waive late payment fees during the deferred payment period.

Third, increase the scale of special funds and state-owned capital operating budgets, and support the modernization of the industrial chain supply chain. Support a number of short board weaknesses, build a number of public service platforms, and promote the application of a number of major technical equipment and new material products.
