Adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability, ensuring employment of residents, basic people’s livelihood, market players, food and energy security, stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain, and grassroots operations, collectively referred to as the "six guarantees". The major decisions and deployments made in the new situation are related to the overall situation of economic development and social stability.
Finance is the foundation and important pillar of national governance. The full implementation of the "six guarantees" task is an important measure to implement the requirement of "proactive fiscal policy must be more proactive and effective". It is an important task for the financial sector at present and in the future. In order to help all sectors of the society to grasp and apply the "six guarantees" fiscal policy measures in a timely and accurate manner, we sorted out the policies and measures introduced from the perspectives of policy beneficiaries and policy implementers, and formed the "Questions and Answers on the "Six Guarantees" Fiscal Policy Measures". For reference.
Among them, the relevant answers to new energy vehicles, charging facilities, national policies and subsidy funding arrangements, and how to apply and review are excerpted as follows.
About new energy vehicles
97. In order to support the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry, and do a good job in the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, what measures have been taken in terms of extending the period of financial subsidies for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, and easing the intensity and pace of subsidy decline?
Answer: Since 2019, affected by various factors, the growth rate of my country's new energy vehicle production and sales has fallen sharply, and problems accumulated in industrial development have gradually emerged. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, sales of new energy vehicles have fallen sharply. In order to support the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry and promote consumption in the automobile market, the Ministry of Finance, in conjunction with relevant departments, has decided to extend the subsidy policy originally scheduled to expire at the end of 2020 by two years after being approved by the State Council. Complete withdrawal at the end of 2022; at the same time, the intensity and pace of subsidy decline will be smoothed. Purchase subsidies will decline by 10%, 20%, and 30% on the basis of the previous year respectively in 2020-2022.
98. In order to support the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry and do a good job in the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, what measures have been taken to appropriately optimize the technical indicators of new energy vehicles and promote the industry to become better and stronger?
Answer: In recent years, the new energy vehicle subsidy policy has adhered to the policy orientation of "supporting the good and strong", and has promoted significant progress in new energy vehicle technology through measures such as continuously raising the technical threshold. This policy adjustment is mainly to reasonably increase the technical thresholds for driving range and energy consumption of some models. Technical indicators such as the energy density of the power battery system will not be adjusted. This will effectively guide the market to eliminate outdated production capacity and tilt funds toward superior companies and well-known brands. Ensure product safety.
99. In order to support the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry, do a good job in the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, and what measures have been taken to improve the financial subsidy fund settlement system for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles and improve the accuracy of subsidies?
Answer: On the one hand, new energy passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle companies are required to declare the number of vehicles to be liquidated in a single declaration to reach 10,000 and 1,000 respectively. Subsidy funds are tilted to advantageous companies to guide them to become bigger and stronger. On the other hand, drawing on international experience and practices, it is stipulated that the price of new energy passenger vehicles before subsidies must be less than 300,000 yuan (including 300,000 yuan, except for the power exchange mode) to avoid a large amount of subsidy funds flowing to wealthy consumers.
100. In order to support the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry, do a good job in the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, and what measures have been taken in terms of adjusting the financial subsidies for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles and launching fuel cell vehicle demonstration applications?
Answer: Since 2009, the Ministry of Finance, in conjunction with relevant departments, has supported the promotion of fuel cell vehicles by giving consumers purchase subsidies. With the in-depth development of the fuel cell vehicle industry, some deep-seated problems have gradually emerged, mainly: the lack of core technologies and key components, the lack of innovation awareness and capabilities; insufficient infrastructure construction; consumer subsidy policies have an impact on the promotion of industrial chain and infrastructure construction The limitations are becoming increasingly apparent. To this end, the Ministry of Finance will adjust subsidy policies with relevant departments, select basic, active, and distinctive cities or regions, and focus on the demonstration of technological research and industrial application of key components. Rewards will be given to demonstration cities.
101. In order to support the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry, and do a good job in the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, what measures have been taken to strengthen the supervision of financial subsidy funds for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles and ensure the safety of funds?
Answer: In order to ensure the safety of funds, the Ministry of Finance, in conjunction with relevant departments, on the basis of previous strengthening of fund supervision measures, further require local governments to simultaneously publicize the results of subsidy verification and accept social supervision. The submitted materials that have not been reviewed and publicized as required will not be accepted. Further play the role of informatization supervision, and for data fraud, subsidies will be cancelled after verification. Relevant departments will intensify inspections, and severely deal with places and enterprises that are not strictly supervised and cause fraudulent compensation.
119. In order to promote automobile consumption, what tax preferential policies have been introduced?
Answer: In order to promote automobile consumption, the state has promulgated the following preferential tax policies: First, from May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023, taxpayers engaged in second-hand car dealership sales of their purchased second-hand The tax calculation method is based on the 3% levy rate minus 2% to collect value-added tax, instead of 0.5% minus the value-added tax. Second, from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, the purchase of new energy vehicles will be exempted from vehicle purchase tax. New energy vehicles that are exempt from vehicle purchase tax refer to pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (including extended range) vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles.
About charging infrastructure
113. From 2016 to 2020, the central government will continue to allocate funds to reward and supplement the construction and operation of new energy vehicle charging infrastructure. What are the reward objects and what are the reward conditions?
Answer: The reward objects are provinces (regions, cities) that have a large scale of promotion and application, comprehensive supporting policies, and no place to protect the promotion of new energy vehicles. The incentive conditions of the central government mainly include three aspects: First, the number of promotion is relatively large. The incentive threshold is relatively high in the eastern region and key provinces and cities for air pollution control, followed by the central provinces, and the western provinces and northeastern regions are relatively low. Second, the local supporting policies are comprehensive, highlighting the main responsibility of the local government. The third is the high degree of market openness. All localities should establish fair and open markets. Provinces that have been identified by relevant departments as having local protection activities will deduct reward funds.
114. From 2016 to 2020, the central government will continue to arrange funds for the construction and operation of new energy vehicle charging infrastructure. What are the reward standards and the scope of the use of reward funds?
Answer: The award standard is mainly determined according to the number of new energy vehicles promoted in each province (region, city). For provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) that meet the criteria for rewards, the central government will arrange reward funds for charging facilities based on the number of new energy vehicles promoted in various regions. The greater the amount of promotion, the more reward funds will be obtained. When local governments use the central financial incentive funds, they should give priority to the construction of charging facilities in public service areas such as buses, large shopping malls and other urban public charging facilities, government agencies and other internal charging facilities, charging facilities in old communities, and public charging service platforms. On the one hand, local governments are encouraged to make full use of the leverage of financial funds to mobilize all areas, including property communities, government agencies, and large shopping malls, and give appropriate rewards to units that take the lead in realizing transformation and solving charging problems.
115. From 2016 to 2020, the central government will continue to arrange funds for the construction and operation of new energy vehicle charging infrastructure. How to apply for and issue the subsidy funds?
Answer: The subsidy funds for the construction and operation of charging infrastructure are linked to the number of new energy vehicles promoted in various regions. According to the notifications issued by the Ministry of Finance and other departments, the leading departments of the promotion of new energy vehicles in various regions submit the application materials for the local charging infrastructure incentive funds for 2017-2019 to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will submit the results to the Ministry of Finance after reviewing with relevant departments. The Ministry of Finance issued funds accordingly.
