Letter From Industry：  



“Notice of the Circular on the Relevant Matters Concerning the Stopping of the Levy of Sewage Charges and Other Administrative Institutional Charges” issued by the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the State Oceanic Administration (Finance [2018] No. 4) is specified that from January 1, 2018, it will uniformly suspend the collection of pollutant discharge fees for volatile organic compounds across the country, “Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Relief and Postponement of Sewage Discharge Charges, etc. of the State Development and Reform Commission of the Ministry of Finance" (Cai Qing [2003] No. 38), "Circular of the Ministry of Finance of the National Development and Reform Commission of the Ministry of Finance on Printing and Distributing the 'Pilot Measures for Volatile Organics Pollutant Charges' "(Finance and Tax [2015] No. 71), and "the Ministry of Finance's State Development Planning Commission's Approval of Receiving Marine Engineering Wastewater Discharge Charges"  (including Caizong [2003] No. 2) and other relevant documents were also repealed. According to the above-mentioned documents, VOCs no longer levied sewage charges and whether they need to impose environmental taxes. If taxation is required, only 44 items of pollutants specified in the “equivalent value of atmospheric pollutants” in the “Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People's Republic of China” are included. Can you think that the scope of VOCs taxation is only 44 items in the table?


Reply from Ministry of Environmental Protection：  


Article 6 of the "Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: "The tax items and taxes for environmental protection taxes shall be implemented in accordance with the "Amount of Tax for Environmental Protection Tax Items", VOCs are not included in the "Table of Taxable Pollutants and Equivalent Values". Article 27 of the “Environmental Protection Tax Law” stipulates: “Since the date of the implementation of this law, the environmental protection tax shall be expropriated in accordance with the provisions of this Law, and no sewage charges shall be levied.” VOCs shall no longer be subject to sewage charges and shall not be levied environmental protection tax.

What is VOCs?

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) refer to organic compounds involved in atmospheric photochemical reactions, including non-methane hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, etc.), oxygen-containing organics (aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, ethers, etc.), chlorine-containing Organic matter, nitrogen-containing organic matter, sulfur-containing organic matter, etc., are important precursors for ozone (O3) and fine particle (PM2.5) pollution.
