印度纺织工业联合会要求降低所有人造纤维的消费税

The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) has requested the Government to reduce the excise duty on all man-made fibres and filaments, as also their raw materials from the current 12 per cent to 6 per cent.

 

In a pre-Budget memorandum 2015-16 submitted to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, CITI chairman Prem Malik said, “Globally man-made fibres account for around 70 per cent of the total fibre consumption whereas in India their share is less than 30 per cent. If we have to achieve a quantum jump in production and exports of textiles, man-made fibres have to become more accessible and affordable.”

 

“We would therefore request that excise duty on all man-made fibres and filaments, as also their raw materials may be reduced from the current 12 per cent to 6 per cent. For covering the revenue loss from this reduction, 2 per cent mandatory excise duty may be introduced for all value added textile products based man-made fibres.” Malik suggested.

 

For all textile products other than man-made fibre based products, the optional duty regime for excise may be continued until introduction of GST, since this has been encouraging and facilitating substantial investments and expansion in the textiles industry, he added.

 

CITI also recommended that customs duty of 5 per cent and SAD of 4 per cent on all man-made fibres and filaments may be withdrawn and Anti Dumping Duties may not be operated on any man-made fibres or filaments. “This would increase production of value added textile products substantially which will compensate for any revenue loss involved,” Malik said.

 

Currently, India has the largest number of looms in the world but the share of suhttleless looms, which use the latest technology in weaving, is at the lowest among the textile producing countries. Hence, CITI recommended withdrawal of 6 per cent excise duty being levied at present on shuttleless looms. According to Malik, such a step would help the weavers using plain looms to graduate into shuttleless looms, which in turn would improve both quality and quantity of fabric production. It would also help the domestic machinery manufacturers to invest in production of world-class looms.

印度纺织工业联合会要求降低所有人造纤维的消费税

印度纺织工业联合会(CITI) 已经要求政府降低所有人造纤维和细丝的消费税,因为其原材料也从目前的12%降低至6%。

在提交给财政部长Arun Jaitley的2015 - 16预算备忘录中，CITI董事长Prem Malik说,“全球人造纤维占纤维总消费量的70%左右,而在印度,他们的份额还不到30%。如果我们要实现纺织品生产和出口的巨大突破,人造纤维必须变得更容易获得且负担得起。”

“我们会要求降低所有人造纤维和细丝的消费税是因为其原料也可能从目前的12%减少到6%。为了降低减税带来的收入损失,2%的强制性消费税可能引入所有人造纤维增值纺织产品。”Malik建议。

除了人造纤维的其他纺织品, 消费税的可选责任制度可能一直持续直到引入增值税,因为这一直鼓励并促进了纺织行业的大量投资和扩张,他补充说。

CITI还建议对所有人造纤维和细丝征收5%的关税和4%的特别附加税，但不会征收任何反倾销税。“这将大幅增加增值纺织品的产量，弥补收入损失,” Malik说。

目前,印度拥有世界上最多的织机除了无梭织机的份额,无梭织机使用最新的技术,目前在纺织生产国家中印度数量最少。因此, CITI 建议撤离目前对无梭织机增收的6%的消费税。Malik表示,此举将有助于使用普通织机的织布工逐渐向无梭织机转变,从而提高织物生产的质量和数量。它还将帮助国内机械制造商投资生产世界级的织机。
