The national two sessions will be held in 2022. Recently, Dong Mingzhu, National Congress representative and Gree Electric Appliances Inc.Of Zhuhai(000651) chairman and President, proposed to raise the threshold of individual income tax, allow enterprises to flexibly arrange legal holidays, and establish mandatory standards for the safe service life of household appliances.
In the field of social and people’s livelihood, Dong Mingzhu put forward “suggestions on raising the threshold of individual income tax and strengthening the collection and management of individual income tax on non wage income” and “suggestions on allowing enterprises to flexibly arrange legal holidays”.
Dong Mingzhu believes that the lower individual income tax threshold makes the profit of ordinary employees far less than the cost of the enterprise when the enterprise increases the salary, which reduces the sense of gain of employees and increases the cost of the enterprise. 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.
Therefore, Dong Mingzhu suggested raising the threshold of individual income tax and improving the stepped tax rate. At the same time, we should rely on the principle of fairness in tax collection and management, improve the tax collection and management mechanism, and strictly crack down on tax evasion, such as the principle of fairness in tax collection and management.
Dong Mingzhu also said that in view of the multi-point distribution of covid-19 epidemic, it is suggested to allow enterprises to flexibly arrange legal holidays, which is conducive to promoting peak shifting and Festival holidays, reducing the risk of epidemic transmission and relieving the pressure of social operation.
Specifically, Dong Mingzhu suggested gradually liberalizing the autonomy of enterprises in the arrangement of legal holidays, allowing 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.
In the field of home appliances of her “old bank”, Dong Mingzhu put forward “suggestions on establishing mandatory standards for the safe service life of home appliances as soon as possible”.
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; The manufacturer shall put the product in an obvious position and inform the consumers of the specific deadline of the safe service life; Advocate consumers to scrap or replace old products after the expiration of safe service life; Promote the continuous construction of waste household appliances recycling system; Strengthen the promotion and subsidies of the old for new policy.
In the field of improving the business environment, Dong Mingzhu proposed to strengthen the protection of enterprises’ independent training talents and encourage enterprises to return more taxes to independent research and development. 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, so as to form a sustained and stable investment mechanism.
