The pilot of tax refund in Shanghai Port of Departure has been supported by the relevant state departments. In the future, export goods shipped from Wuhan and Qingdao to Shanghai Yangshan Port will be given preferential tax refund policies at the port of departure. This is the news released yesterday when Sun Jianping, director of the Municipal Bureau of Communications and Ports, reported the construction of the international shipping center to the inspection team of the Municipal Association. It is one of the striking policies in the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center to pilot the tax refund policy for the port of departure in Yangshan Port. The "Implementation Opinions on Implementing Several Measures to Accelerate the Construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center" researched and formulated by the Municipal Bureau of Communications and Ports has clearly stated that it is necessary to win the support of relevant state departments, carry out the pilot tax refund for the port of departure, and enhance the status of Yangshan Port as a hub. The so-called port of departure tax rebate policy, taking Yangshan Port as an example, means that domestic goods are regarded as export tax rebates as long as they are confirmed to have left the port of departure and sent to Yangshan Port for overseas transit. At present, China's export tax rebate policy needs to confirm that the goods have been declared out of the country and entered the special customs supervision area in order to realize the tax rebate. It is understood that due to the financial crisis, Shanghai Port is expected to achieve a cargo throughput of 580 million tons, which is basically the same as last year and still ranks first in the world. The throughput of foreign trade goods and containers has dropped sharply this year. Although container throughput continues to maintain the second place in the world, it has experienced negative growth for the first time, and it is a double-digit negative growth. On the other hand, compared with other international shipping centers, the international transit capacity of Shanghai Port is not outstanding. According to public information, in 2008, the volume of international transit containers in Shanghai Port was only 5%, while that in Singapore Port was as high as 85%, that in China Port was 60% and that in Busan Port was 45%.
