On February 2th, the State Council should hold a press conference on the joint prevention and control mechanism of pneumonia in novel coronavirus, and introduce the situation of reducing and exempting enterprise social security fees, medical insurance fees and delaying the payment of housing provident fund in stages.

Exemption from pension, unemployment and work-related injury insurance units

You Jun, deputy director of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, introduced that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, together with the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, studied and formulated the Notice on Phased Reduction and Exemption of Enterprise Social Insurance Fees, which clarified three measures of exemption, reduction and delay.

exemption means that from February, 22, all provinces can exempt the unit contributions of the three social insurances of pension, unemployment and work injury insurance for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the period of exemption shall not exceed five months, which means that the exemption policy can be implemented until June. Hubei province can extend the scope of exemption to all kinds of insured enterprises.

reduction means that other provinces in China except Hubei can collect the contributions of three social security units of large enterprises and other insured units by half, and the period of reduction shall not exceed 3 months. As government agencies and institutions are not involved in business problems and are less affected by the epidemic, they are not included in the scope of this relief policy.

deferment means that enterprises with serious difficulties in production and operation due to the epidemic situation can apply for deferment of payment. In principle, the deferment period is no more than 6 months, and the late payment fee is exempted during deferment.

employees' personal rights and interests will not be affected

You Jun, deputy director of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that in order to ensure the implementation of the reduction and exemption policy, the Notice also proposed to ensure that employees' personal rights and interests will not be affected and that all social security benefits will be paid in full and on time.

provincial governments should earnestly assume the main responsibility, and at the same time put forward requirements for promoting the provincial-level overall planning of social insurance, continuing to implement the central adjustment system of basic old-age insurance funds for enterprise employees, and making it clear that the central adjustment ratio of basic old-age insurance funds for enterprise employees will be increased to 4% in 22, so as to further increase support for difficult areas.

It is predicted that the payment of social security enterprises will be reduced by more than 5 billion yuan

You Jun, vice minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that enterprises had great difficulties in the first half of the year due to the epidemic situation. It is in line with the needs of enterprises, people's expectations and political aspirations to give more concentrated support by reducing social security contributions. According to a preliminary estimate, we predict that this phased reduction and exemption will reduce the payment of three social security enterprises by more than 5 billion yuan. At the same time, we have also fully considered the operation of the fund. By improving provincial overall planning and increasing fund adjustment, we can ensure that all social insurance benefits are paid in full and on time.

Ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time

Yu Weiping, Vice Minister of Finance, said that the phased fee reduction policy introduced this time is expected to reduce pensions by 471.4 billion yuan. Although the income of the fund has decreased, the overall impact is controllable, and it is guaranteed to ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time.

Of course, we also noticed that the balance of China's pension insurance fund is unbalanced among provinces. Therefore, we made detailed calculations with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, made adequate plans, and planned to take a series of countermeasures to help local governments do a good job in the timely and full payment of pensions. To sum up, these measures are four efforts:

First, the central government should supplement the basic old-age insurance fund. This year, we will continue to increase subsidies to help local governments ease the pressure on the fund's income and expenditure caused by phased fee reduction.

the second is to strengthen the central adjustment of the endowment insurance fund. In 219, through the central adjustment of the fund, the provinces in the central and western regions and old industrial bases benefited more than 15 billion yuan. The proportion of adjustment will be further increased this year, and the scale of the central adjustment fund will increase accordingly.

the third is to increase the transfer of some state-owned capital to enrich the social security fund.

the fourth is to intensify the reform of the basic old-age insurance fund.

through the above measures, we can achieve two things to the letter. First, we will faithfully implement the policy of reducing social insurance premiums in stages and effectively reduce the burden on enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. The second is to ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time, and earnestly safeguard the pension rights and interests of retirees.

The provident fund loan cannot be repaid normally due to the epidemic, so it will not be overdue.

Ni Hong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, introduced that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, together with the Ministry of Finance and the People's Bank of China, studied and put forward three phased support policies on housing provident fund.

First, enterprises can apply for deferring the payment of housing provident fund before June 3, 22. During the holdover period, the deposit time should be calculated continuously, which does not affect the normal withdrawal and application of housing provident fund loans for each employee.

Second, employees, especially front-line medical staff, epidemic prevention and control personnel, who need to be isolated or temporarily affected by the epidemic, will not be overdue if the housing provident fund loan cannot be repaid normally before June 3, 22. At the same time, considering the paid-in employees who are under pressure to pay the rent, the amount of rental withdrawal can be reasonably increased and the withdrawal time can be flexibly arranged.

Third, enterprises in areas with serious epidemic situation can decide to voluntarily pay provident fund before June 3, 22 on the premise of full consultation with employees. If you continue to pay, you can independently agree on the deposit ratio; If the payment is stopped, the payment time during the period of stopping payment will be calculated continuously, which will not affect the normal withdrawal of housing provident fund and the application for housing provident fund loans by employees.

halving the basic medical insurance premium paid by employees

Chen Jinfu, deputy director of the National Health Insurance Bureau, said that the National Health Insurance Bureau, together with the Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China, studied and put forward the guiding opinions on reducing the basic medical insurance premium for employees in stages, mainly considering that the provincial government should make a decision according to the actual situation in various places, and under the premise of ensuring the long-term balance of fund revenue and expenditure and ensuring the payment of benefits, the basic medical insurance premium paid by employees in stages will be halved, with the specific consideration starting from February and the longest period.

generally speaking, at present, the basic medical insurance for employees has the ability to support the measures of halving the levy by stages, strongly support the development of enterprises, and at the same time ensure the enjoyment of the current treatment of the insured. According to a preliminary calculation, the tax reduction measures can reduce the burden on enterprises by up to 15 billion yuan, which is conducive to supporting enterprises to return to work and reducing the burden on enterprises, and coordinating the prevention and control of epidemic situation and economic development.
