Foreign trade "State eight" to help reduce the burden on textile and garment enterprises

Premier Wen Jiabao chaired the executive meeting of the State Council to study and determine policies and measures to promote the steady growth of foreign trade. The meeting discussed and adopted the "Several Opinions on Promoting Stable Growth in Foreign Trade," and determined the progress of export tax rebates, expanded the size of the economy, expanded the scale and coverage of export credit insurance, raised the level of trade facilitation, properly responded to trade frictions, and actively expanded imports. , Optimize the layout of the international market for foreign trade, and optimize the eight measures for the regional distribution of foreign trade.

Due to the slowdown of world economic growth and the sluggish international market, the export of China's textile and garment industry has encountered tremendous resistance. This year's industry export situation is not satisfactory, the growth rate of industrial scale has declined, and net profits have fallen sharply. The industry outlook is not optimistic.

This time, the new regulations for export tax rebates in foreign trade “Guo Ba” have integrated all the current effective regulations on export tax rebates, and on the basis of maintaining the basic stability of China’s export goods value-added tax and consumption tax rebate system, more The problems have been adjusted, and SMEs and new enterprises have benefited greatly; supporting enterprise **, exempting export inspection and quarantine fees is equivalent to directly providing financial support to export companies, and reducing the operating costs of exporting enterprises, which is a true help.

Raising the level of trade facilitation and improving the efficiency of customs clearance are time and cost savings. “Time is money”, it is also a matter of reducing business costs in a disguised manner and reducing the burden on enterprises; expanding the scale and coverage of export credit insurance, and paying special attention to strengthening credit insurance services for small and micro enterprises. It is targeted to "target" the phenomenon that some small and micro enterprises are afraid to meet the market risk.

In the short term, these policies will undoubtedly greatly help the recovery of the entire textile and garment industry and enterprises to tide over the difficulties, giving China's foreign trade companies a chance to transform and upgrade and open up markets, especially to give SMEs more opportunities to adapt to the foreign trade environment. .

Accelerating Tax Rebate Accelerating Capital Flows Export Tax rebates are very important for foreign trade companies in labor-intensive industries such as textiles and clothing. Tax rebates are the source of profits for such industrial enterprises.

"Before the country refunds the tax, the trading company will give us a tax first. We will give the trading company a point of agency fee," said the person in charge of a clothing factory in Ningbo. "But when tax refunds go slow, sometimes trading companies We will not charge our tax refunds, which also has an impact on our cash flow."

Among the eight measures, the most important one is to accelerate the progress of export tax rebates and ensure timely tax refunds. Timely tax refunds can help ease the cash flow problem for textile and apparel companies.

Expanding ** Solving Funding Problems Currently, textile and garment companies not only generally face the problem of insufficient orders, but also the situation of hardship and shortage of funds.

"Orders are of course primary, but the funds are also very important. Now it is too difficult to see. Watching one's counterparts down, I really worry about the next one." Wuxi, a textile company in Zhejiang said in resignation .

“Like we do the processing, we often encounter millions of goods that are sent out. But the money cannot be brought back in time, and the company will be caught in a situation where the capital is difficult to run. It’s so difficult for the banks. For small companies like us, there are several fixed assets such as factory buildings?” A small-scale foreign trade processing company complained to the author.

In addition to accelerating the progress of tax refunds, the eight countries also focused on expanding the scale of the economy, effectively reducing the banks' threshold for the establishment of small and micro enterprises, and helping small and micro enterprises to accelerate capital turnover, solve ** problems, and reduce costs.

External demand remains a problem. Enterprises should take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade. Although the “State of the Eighth” has solved the difficulties of Chinese textile and garment foreign trade enterprises and funds to a certain extent, it eased some of the pressure on the development of the company, but was affected by the global economy and domestic raw materials. With the impact of labor costs, rigid problems such as inadequate external demand and rising costs of textile and garment companies are not solved by the introduction of the New Deal by the state. These problems still exist.

Professionals of the professional order e-commerce platform of the textile and garment industry said: Textile and garment enterprises can only seize this opportunity to give enterprises breathlessness and adjustment time, seize opportunities, improve internal strength and find new business operations. The model, with the help of emerging marketing channels such as e-commerce, the use of new technologies and new technologies to launch new products, accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading, and achieve self-breakthrough can truly get rid of the current passive situation.
