A few days ago, 13 departments including the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of civil affairs and the National Health Commission jointly printed and distributed several policy measures for relief and support of the elderly care service industry (hereinafter referred to as "policy measures"), which proposed support measures such as rent reduction, tax reduction, social insurance, finance and epidemic prevention, involving six aspects and 26 specific policy measures. "These policies and measures actively respond to market concerns, which are not only conducive to helping market participants reduce costs and relieve difficulties, but also conducive to helping the elderly care service industry tide over difficulties and recover and develop." At the State Council's regular policy briefing held by the State Council Information Office on September 1, Su Wei, Deputy Secretary General of the national development and Reform Commission, said:. "Two exemptions": some institutions can be rent free until the end of 2022; The implementation of the "six taxes and two fees" reduction with the acceleration of the trend of population aging and the implementation of the three child policy, the people's demand for elderly care and childcare services is growing day by day, which also puts forward higher requirements for the high-quality development of the industry. In the past two years, the old-age care service industry has been greatly affected by the epidemic and is generally facing operational difficulties. Su Wei disclosed that in 2020, pension service institutions in 20 provinces suffered losses as a whole. Since 2021, the difficulties of the whole industry have further increased, and the operating difficulties of nurseries are even greater than those of pension institutions. "At present, the nursery service is still in the initial stage, and it has been impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. The 'initial stage' and the 'epidemic stage' are superimposed." Du Xixue, head of the population and family Department of the National Health Commission, introduced that at present, more than 70% of the kindergartens in China have operated for less than three years, and most of them have raised their own construction funds. Under the impact of the epidemic, some work stoppages have no income, but rigid expenses such as "renting space" and "paying wages" still exist, and it is difficult to bear by relying on the care institutions themselves. In view of these difficulties, the "policy measures" sent out a "gift package" of "two waivers" to help enterprises relieve their difficulties. Rent reduction. According to the policies and measures, the elderly care service institutions, which belong to the category of small, medium and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households and rent state-owned houses, will be exempted from rent until the end of 2022. Encourage relevant units and institutions of education, scientific research and other systems to grant rent reduction or exemption; Encourage non-state-owned Housing leasing entities to reasonably share the losses caused by the epidemic on the basis of equal consultation; We encourage all localities to explore ways to provide free or low-cost venues for the elderly at home who are served by social forces. Tax preference. The policies and Measures specify that, on the basis of the preferential policies for the elderly care service institutions to enjoy the relevant taxes and fees of the community family service industry according to the provisions, the applicable subjects of "six taxes and two fees" will be extended to the elderly care service institutions according to the 50% tax ceiling in 2022. Li Yongxin, head of the elderly care service department of the Ministry of civil affairs, introduced that taxpayers in the elderly care service industry can return the incremental tax amount in full on a monthly basis and the stock tax amount in full in one time according to the regulations; All localities are encouraged to further reduce or exempt the water, electricity and heat charges, implement the "non-stop payment of arrears" under special circumstances, postpone the payment of fees for a certain period of time, and exempt the late fees. "Four supports": in addition to "two reductions and exemptions", the elderly care service industry will also receive policy assistance of "four supports", namely social insurance support, financial support and prevention
