进入年内以来,国内油价[1]经历三次下调[2],多地油价重回"6元时代"。油价的连续下调也打破了过去国内油价"涨多跌少[3]"的动向。虽然国内油价经历了罕见[4]的"三连降[5]",但是与美国(USA)油价相比,中国油价仍超过美国。
发改委(National Development and Reform Commission)有关负责人称,中国油价超过美国的部分主要是在税收[6]。发改委前日首次承认中国的油价高于美国,并且说明所谓高的这部分在于两国油价含税值不同。据了解,国内的成品油零售税金[7]中,消费税[8]为汽油1元/升(L),增值税[9]占据17%;剩下的是城市维护建设[10]税。因此总的来看,国内汽油零售价格中含有约30%左右的税费值。
分析[11]认为,美国低油价是因为其税率低,而欧洲(Europe)、日本(Japan)价格高主要是因税率高,税率高的原因与政府推行的节能环保[12]政策密切相关。但是,欧洲、日本税收虽然高,但是对应的福利政策[13]也完善。来自石油行业的税收除了可以用于环保,还用于清洁能源[14]、替代能源[15]的开发、医疗[16]等方面。某种程度上来看,是取之于民、用之于民[17]。
Within this year, China's oil price dropped three times. In many places price of oil returned to the 'era of 6 yuan'. The continuous drop in oil prices broke the past tendency of 'rise by much, drop by little'. But although oil prices dropped three consecutive times, China's oil prices are still higher than prices in the US.
Personnel from the National Development and Reform Commission say that China's high oil price has to do with tax revenues. Two days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission admitted for the first time that China's oil prices are higher than in the US and explained that this is caused by the different tax value between the countries. In China there is a consumption tax of 1 RMB per liter and V.A.T. stands at 17%. There is also a tax for safeguarding city buildings. Therefore, overall China's gasoline prices contain about 30% taxation.
Analysts believe that oil price in the US is low because its taxes are low. In Europe and Japan taxes are high, which is closely linked with the environmental protection and energy saving policies that Europe and Japan implement. But although oil taxation in Europe and Japan is high, corresponding welfare is also very good. The tax derived from oil, in addition to being utilized for environmental protection, is used as clean energy, development of alternative energy, medical treatment and in other domains. In a this aspect these taxes are 'taken from the people and also used for the people'.
