After entering November, the northern part of China has entered the heating season. Compared with previous years, the air quality in Jinchang City of Gansu Province is much better and the blue sky is much more.

"Good air is inseparable from the guiding role played by the national environmental protection tax policy." Wang? Vice General Manager of Gansu Electricity Investment Jinchang Power Generation Co., Ltd. said that after the introduction of the new environmental protection tax policy, the company upgraded and reformed the flue gas treatment devices such as desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal of four units in a timely manner, greatly reducing the emission concentration. "This year, we comply with the national environmental protection tax preferential policy, the first three quarters of two factories accumulated. Payment of environmental protection tax of 470,000 yuan, compared with the same period last year, reduced by 116,000 yuan, a decrease of 71%.

The principle of "multi-levy, multi-levy, low-levy and no-levy" has made the environmental protection tax play an important incentive role. Since the Levy of environmental protection tax, Gansu tax system has implemented environmental protection tax policy in an all-round way, strictly strengthened tax collection and management, and actively guided sewage enterprises to continuously increase pollution control and emission reduction efforts. By the end of October this year, the province had declared more than 190 million yuan of environmental tax revenue, 53.44 million yuan of tax reduction and exemption in the same period, and more than 130 million yuan of actual tax input, accounting for 27.9% of the total declared revenue. Encouraging role of environmental protection tax policy can be effectively brought into play, so that the pressure of sewage discharge of enterprises can be transformed into the driving force of transformation and upgrading.

After the announcement, Gansu Provincial Tax Bureau checked the excessive discharge and tax declaration of relevant enterprises in the province. Dunhuang Tax Bureau and Environmental Protection Bureau jointly inspected and reviewed a heating company in Dunhuang City, which is a pollution-related enterprise. By the end of October, the company had paid 599.3 million yuan of environmental protection tax.
