Officials Of The State Administration Of Taxation Said Tobacco Taxes Must Be Raised.

"China" held recently

"In order to further increase tobacco control efforts, the tobacco tax rate will definitely continue to improve."

Hu Xianming, director of the Department of consumer goods and taxation of the State Administration of Taxation, said.

There are analysts who will smoke cigarettes.

Some smokers who heard the wind before had quietly started hoarding.

Wang Yuewu, a manager of a state-owned enterprise in Kunming, said that there were not a few colleagues who had habit of smoking around him.

Everyone is concerned about the rising price of cigarettes.

In fact, in Yunnan, China's first tobacco producing province, the news about the price of cigarettes will rise in the middle of the distributor.

The owner of a chain tobacco shop in Yuantong street, Kunming, told reporters that the current market price is that cigarettes priced at four hundred or five hundred yuan a day are usually priced at 200 yuan per purchase.

The owner said the rumors that the state will adjust tobacco taxes are the biggest inducements of the recent boom in cigarette trading and rising prices.

He said that as a special kind of food, cigarettes are different from ordinary foods. They will neither rot nor shrink. Therefore, it is a normal thing for a dealer to seize the opportunity to hoard the source of goods in the context of the country's rising price.

Even dealers think that hoarding cigarettes is at least more cost-effective than bank deposits and safer than stocks.

"Buying up or buying down is not just the law of stocks, but also the law that tobacco dealers need to abide by."

The boss said.

"Since September, the wholesale volume of most of the cigarettes, especially the medium and high priced cigarettes, has started to increase. Now some of the best - selling brands of cigarettes are difficult to carry, and they are often out of stock."

Li, owner of a cigarette and liquor wholesale shop in Kunming, said to reporters.

As for the increase in cigarette prices this year, the manager of Hongyun Honghe Group Sales Department, who claimed to be surnamed Liu, said that as a cigarette manufacturer, he would prefer to see the stability of consumers and markets and not want to go up and down.

Therefore, increasing prices is not a good thing.

"How to deal with it, and listen to the arrangement of China tobacco company".

According to Shi Jian, a researcher at the State Taxation Administration's Tax Research Institute, after last year's tax adjustment, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau requested the tobacco companies to maintain the stability of wholesale prices. Under wholesale price unchanged, the actual retail price had basically not changed.

"In other words, the increase in tobacco taxes was not reflected in the sales price of tobacco products, but was digested inside the tobacco industry."

In response to the above situation, some experts advocated the promotion of tobacco price linkage in the seminar on China's tobacco economy and tax policy held recently.

In response, an official who did not want to be named in Yunnan tobacco company said that, considering the wishes and financial resources of the tobacco sector, even if the relevant tax adjustment measures were introduced in 2011, they would be willing and able to digest inside the tobacco industry, but perhaps after considering the social impact, they would also consider raising the price of cigarettes this year.
