The policy to be able to have any effect in Henan? January 18, this reporter in an interview.
Mining companies are expected to burden
By the end of September last year, the State Council decided to implement the coal resource tax reform, tax legislation promoting clean fee, easing the burden of work, from December 1 last year, the coal resource tax levied by the change from the amount of ad valorem tax rate provinces levels of government to determine the prescribed range (2% to 10%) within. Henan Province decided to coal resource tax applicable tax rate is 2% (see "Henan Daily" January 1, 2015 report), the lower limit for the country as defined amplitude, we can see that the provincial government to support the coal enterprises, "winter" determination.
"After the reform, the province will greatly reduce the burden of coal enterprises, but mineral resource fee is the 'zero rates', the price adjustment fund is 'Stop levy', which did not cancel the two charges, the Government will not in the future will restart or ask to pay the fees? "January 18, Henan Province, a major energy company, said Wang Liang, a greater proportion of the various fees fund projects in corporate spending, if a comprehensive clean coal is bound to significantly reduce the burden on enterprises.
