Among them, in the field of social and people’s livelihood, “suggestions on increasing the threshold of individual income tax and strengthening the collection and management of individual income tax on non wage income”, “suggestions on allowing enterprises to flexibly arrange legal holidays” and “suggestions on establishing mandatory standards for the safe service life of household appliances as soon as possible”.
In the field of improving the business environment, Dong Mingzhu put forward “suggestions on strengthening the protection of enterprises’ independent training talents”, “suggestions on establishing a national intellectual property court as soon as possible” and “suggestions on encouraging enterprises to return more taxes to invest in independent research and development”.
Yesterday, Dong Mingzhu was successfully re elected for three times and continued to serve as Gree Electric Appliances Inc.Of Zhuhai(000651) chairman.
suggestion 1: raise the threshold of individual income tax and strengthen the collection and management of individual income tax on non wage income
The lower threshold of individual income tax leads to that when the enterprise raises its salary, the profit of ordinary employees is far less than the cost of enterprise expenditure, which will reduce the sense of gain of employees and increase the cost of the enterprise.
In addition, the collection and management of capital income is relatively loose, and some high net worth people conduct tax planning or tax evasion between individual income taxes of different income types and between individual income tax and enterprise income tax.
Dong Mingzhu suggested raising the threshold of individual income tax and improving the stepped tax rate. At the same time, improve the tax supervision mechanism, strengthen the tax collection and management of non wage income, innovate the tax supervision mechanism, rely on the accurate classification and supervision of tax big data, and severely crack down on tax evasion and other events that violate the principle of tax fairness, so as to promote social fairness, justice and common prosperity.
suggestion 2: allow enterprises to flexibly arrange legal holidays
In the context of covid-19 epidemic, there is great pressure on railways, roads and epidemic prevention and control on legal holidays.
Dong Mingzhu said, given that covid-19 epidemic still shows a multi-point distribution trend, it is suggested that enterprises should be allowed to flexibly arrange legal holidays, which is conducive to promoting peak staggering and festival, reducing the risk of epidemic transmission and relieving the pressure of social operation
Dong Mingzhu suggested that local governments should be allowed to make their own decisions on the arrangement of statutory holidays within each administrative region under the guidance of the provisions on statutory holidays in the measures for national holidays and anniversaries. It is suggested to gradually liberalize the autonomy of enterprises in the arrangement of legal holidays, and allow enterprises to flexibly formulate specific compensatory leave policies with the consent of employees according to the guidance of local governments and the characteristics of different types of work; At the same time, formulate corresponding restraint measures and supervision mechanisms to avoid some enterprises abusing the flexibility of policies and infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of workers.
suggestion 3: establish a mandatory standard for the safe service life of household appliances as soon as possible
At present, there are no mandatory legal provisions on the service life of air conditioners, washing machines and other household appliances. There are differences in the group standards of different associations for the service life of air conditioners. The recommended national standards for other household electrical appliances only stipulate General requirements, have no mandatory legal effect, and the standard for the safe service life of specific household electrical appliances has not been issued.
Dong Mingzhu suggested that the standards on the service life of household appliances should be issued in the form of mandatory standards or laws and regulations to clarify the safe service life of each type of household appliances ; The manufacturer shall inform consumers of the specific deadline for the safe service life in an obvious position on the products, so as to guide consumers conveniently; Advocate consumers to scrap or replace old products after the expiration of safe service life. If the accident occurs due to failure to deal with it according to the time requirements, the manufacturer shall not be responsible. We will continue to promote the construction of the recycling system for waste household appliances, standardize the trading of waste household appliances, and prohibit waste household appliances that have been in service beyond the time limit from entering the second-hand market and rural market.
She also said that to strengthen the promotion and subsidies of the old for new policy, the state can issue general requirements, formulate the old for new scheme of household appliances, and provide special subsidies for energy-efficient green household appliances.
suggestion 4: strengthen the protection of enterprises’ independently trained talents
With the continuous expansion of market competition, the protection of talents in enterprises is becoming more and more important. According to the 2021 resignation and salary adjustment research report released by 51job, the average working time of Chinese employees is only 22 months, far lower than that in the United States and Japan.
Dong Mingzhu suggested that for the senior managers, senior technicians and other personnel with confidentiality obligations of the employer, the enterprise should be allowed to terminate the labor contract with the consent of such personnel before they leave the company; The liability for compensation for non competition shall be jointly borne by the laborer and the new employer. Prior to the resignation of senior talents, the laborer and the new employer shall jointly pay compensation for losses to the original unit.
suggestion 5: encourage enterprises to return more taxes to independent research and development
With the gradual rise of labor costs, the importance of scientific and technological innovation has increased in an all-round way. Dong Mingzhu therefore suggested to optimize the enterprise tax return policy, encourage enterprises to invest more tax return in independent research and development, and form a sustained and stable investment mechanism.
Dong Mingzhu said that it is suggested to introduce relevant policies to encourage enterprises to invest a certain proportion of tax return in independent research and development, and continue to enjoy tax incentives when conditions are met. It is suggested that the tax authorities should strengthen the monitoring of R & D expenses of key tax source enterprises, resolutely crack down on tax evasion and tax fraud, and ensure that enterprises effectively increase investment in scientific and technological innovation.
suggestion 6: establish a national intellectual property court as soon as possible
At present, China is transforming from a big country that introduces intellectual property rights to a big country that creates intellectual property rights. On January 1, 2019, the intellectual property court of the Supreme People’s court was established, and the trial quality and efficiency were greatly improved.
Dong Mingzhu said that proposed to establish a national intellectual property court as soon as possible, build a specialized and independent intellectual property trial system, and ensure the professionalism and specialization of intellectual property trial
Dong Mingzhu said that the national intellectual property court should be established as soon as possible to realize the leap from “intellectual property court” to “intellectual property court”, so as to make it a special court subordinate to the Supreme People’s court and independently try intellectual property cases, so as to fully ensure the professionalism and specialization of intellectual property trials. At the same time, improve the relevant supporting mechanisms of the intellectual property court. In addition, strengthen the publicity of the construction of the national intellectual property court and enhance the legal awareness of all citizens to respect and protect intellectual property rights.
suggestion 7: improve the safety monitoring standard of power battery
In recent years, the power battery industry has ushered in explosive growth, but battery thermal runaway events also frequently threaten public safety. In the current stage of industry development, how to establish industry norms and regulatory standards and improve the safety of power batteries is an urgent concern of the society.
In Dong Mingzhu’s view, the essence of battery safety accident is battery thermal runaway accident. Acupuncture experiment, as a method to simulate the inducement of thermal runaway, is extremely strict and effective. Therefore, the national standard should further improve the safety of power batteries and promote the new energy industry in a more standardized direction.
Dong Mingzhu suggested that improve the safety monitoring standards of power batteries, such as incorporating strict safety testing methods such as acupuncture test into the national mandatory standard , and modify relevant standards in time according to technological progress. Standardize the lithium battery recycling market and avoid the large-scale inflow of low-quality waste lithium batteries into the market. Clarify the subject of law enforcement, improve the comprehensive law enforcement mechanism, and ensure the safety of the whole process of power battery from delivery, use to recycling.
