Many experts interviewed by reporters, said that the second half of the departments concerned are likely to expand the scope from ad valorem coal and other taxable items. Experts suggest that the coal resource tax rate should be set at about 5%. 

"Coal resources of ad valorem tax reform is reasonable, but there will be pressure on the cost of coal enterprises, especially at the local coal prices, coal demand in the past when you can transmitted to the downstream, but now the market is not good, it can only coal Enterprises themselves suffered. "Great Wall Securities research director to an interview with reporters, said Witty, facing the pressure of rising costs, the coal companies can improve resource recovery rates, reduce costs, integration of industrial chain, the implementation of diversification, actively seek favorable policies and other aspects, and thus reduce the operating pressure caused by rising costs.

"Resource tax increase must be related to other taxes as a prerequisite clean, otherwise difficult to really knife." Yue Fubin representation.
