Recently, this reporter learned from authoritative sources, the state authorities are brewing rare earth resource tax levied way from the original "From the amount of taxable" to "ad valorem." According to the current plan has not been finalized, the northern light rare earth resources in accordance with the 22% tax rate will be levied, the South-ion ore levied in accordance with 35 percent, the national level, the rare earth resource tax burden will be increased substantially.

Reporters learned that, in the face of rare earth WTO litigation losses and some rare earth export tariffs faced cancel the status quo, the state of rare earth regulation and integration efforts will once again tightened, while stepping up to support large groups to improve the degree of concentration of resources, on the other hand a substantial transfer high resource tax to curb massive exports of rare earth, in order to achieve the protection of strategic resources, while helping to reduce the negative effects of losing because of WTO on China's rare earth management brings. Starting in 2011, WTO ruled that China include bauxite, coke, fluorspar, magnesium, manganese, silicon metal, silicon carbide, yellow phosphorus and zinc, nine kinds of raw materials violations, followed by rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum export management measures have also been the same ruling, "changing the rare earth resource tax levied brewing methods, to some extent, but also a signal for the release of the above-mentioned strategic metals resource tax reform, which may also be the next step of our strategy to adjust the focus of resource conservation." an authoritative "Economic Information Daily" correspondent said.

"On one hand the rare earth resource tax from quantitative change pricing, follow the market can play the role of a relative increase in the sensitivity of the resource tax regulation, while the resource tax rate has been developed by local, especially the heavy rare earth dominated southern provinces more prominent, in Jiangxi Province, resource tax burden for 36,000 yuan per ton, while it was only 06,000 yuan in Guangxi, resource tax reform will undoubtedly make a more equitable market environment. "an authoritative source told reporters.

When the rare earth resources on tax reform, in contrast of the "Economic Information Daily" reporters visited a number of domestic rare earth group has found that due to the current RE rampant black market lacks a fair competitive environment, a substantial increase resource tax agent but will become a "fierce medicine ", stimulating black and illegal smuggling of rare earth industry chain more flooding, while rare legitimate business survival will be more difficult, accelerate industrial crisis.

"By the local protection and the difficulty of monitoring the impact of large, rare black chain rampant, because you can resource tax evasion, VAT, income tax, etc., it seems legitimate businesses lose money prices for rare earths in terms of black and still have a very substantial profits, "North of a large group of rare-earth person in charge," said economic Information Daily "reporters. He admitted that after the rare earth resource tax reform, which means that even a substantial increase in the tax rate, the profit is undoubtedly very attractive, the illegal exploitation of rare earth smelting and separation, sale, export, etc. will also thrive.

Data show that in 2013 the national mandatory production quotas for rare earths 93,800 t (oxide), the industry's assessment of the actual production of about 160,000 tons that year (oxide), 2014 RE mandatory production quotas for 105,000 t (oxide), the industry is also expected to be close to the actual production of 160,000 tons (oxide), in which the South-ion ore black chain is particularly prominent, rare earth downstream products based on projections, in 2013 produced a total of 1,600 tons of dysprosium oxide, thereby estimating needs about 5 Southern ion ore tons, but the rare Earth Industry Association data show that southern mining enterprise was only 04,000 tons, most of them are offered for private dug illegal mining of illegal products.

Many industry insiders worried about the increased burden on legitimate businesses will accelerate the market "Gresham's law," the scene, on the one hand overwhelmed legitimate businesses in order to stabilize costs arising from the impact by means of transfer pricing and other tax resources tax, and even some companies have begun to participate in the "black rare earth" chain, even more detrimental to the smooth implementation of the national implementation cultivate rare large group strategy.

In fact, to change the RE to "cabbage price" massive fire sale situation, our country has taken a number of policy measures. 2007, China began to implement mandatory plan for rare earth production and decreasing export quotas to limit exports of rare earths, and improve individual rare earth export tariffs since 2011 onwards, in order to better protect the resource, in April 2011 for the first time a substantial increase in the rare earth resource tax.

Reporters learned that, in 2011, the Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation issued a notice for the first time, decided since the year April 1, uniform adjustment of rare earth ores resources tax, the increase rate of more than 10 times. Rare earth resources tax was adjusted as follows: light rare earths including Bastnaesite, solitary quarry, 60 yuan per ton; the heavy rare earths including xenotime, ionic rare earth mine, 30 yuan per ton.

Many industry experts on the "Economic Information Daily" reporters, said while the rare earth resource tax reform, a substantial increase in resources tax is an important means of regulation of rare earth industry, in particular, can enhance the market price of rare earths from the source, so that it reflects the resources scarcity and environmental costs of mining and changing supply and demand through price increases, effectively reduce smuggling and other countries to buy hoarding rare phenomenon, while helping to reduce lost because of WTO on China's rare earth managed to bring negative effects.

But on the other hand, for the rare earth resources tax adjustment scale and magnitude may still need research and consideration, especially in the current domestic rare earth black flooding, lack of fair market environment, if a substantial adjustment in accordance with the above ratio of rare earth resources tax may make black already difficult to monitor more crazy and smuggling of rare earth chain increased, while the number of legitimate companies are in trouble, so since not only affect the ongoing industrial restructuring, but also make resource protection again threatened.

Say yes to actually steal rare duck

Reporter disguise illegal mining of rare earth into the point found a large number of illegal mining equipment; local land department said repeatedly played without a break, law enforcement officers who had gone on to start illegal mining

Illegal mining of rare earth chemicals stacked point.

2011, Teng County land department seized a number of rare earths.

RE is known as the "industrial gold", it has important applications in the fields of military, metallurgy and new materials. Teng County Chess Gan village in the town area, rich in rare earth resources. Early February of this year, a group of outlaws come here to dig ponds raising ducks in the name of illegal mining activities carried out rare earths

Dressed lumberjack reporters into illegal mining of rare earth point

November 13, southern China Morning Post reporter at the villagers led by Ma, dressed as a lumberjack, over the mountains into the lawless illegal mining of rare earth site. This point is surrounded by mountains and dense forests around, pumping diesel engine rumbling sound, ringing in the mountain forest. Ma childhood grew up here, he familiar surroundings geographical environment. He took three hunting hounds loaded into the way ahead.

Reporters saw the point in illegal mining, rare earth burial had been dug mountains, large surface bared Wong. Lying at the foot of the mountains, the distribution has two large ponds, a white plastic pipe, extending from one pond to the buried hill of rare earth. Stacked next to another pond with a lot of chemical materials, printed with the words "ammonium sulfate" and on their bag, pungent chemical odor filled the surrounding air.

Excuse illegal mining of rare duck pull equipment

At the point where illegal mining, in which an intersection to build a door, door top that says "×××× farms." Ma told reporters early February of this year, this group of people come here to pull the mining equipment, they claim to dig ponds to raise ducks. Thus, some villagers took the land leased to them. At first, they are indeed looking for hundreds of ducks, feeding into the pond. However, the Ducks have not raised, they will increase the equipment, the ponds where the water pumping on top of the pool, illegal mining of rare earths.

When reporters take pictures of the surrounding circumstances, cause the illegal mining area where the two men attention. Ma schematic reporters to follow him immediately, climb to the top from a path. On top of the hill, the reporter found a pool next to a small thatched placed bedding. The emergence of many large and small surface around the hole. Ma said, the mountain is rich in rare earth, outlaws illegal mining of rare earth in two ways: one is the burrows, the ammonium sulfate solution filling into the hole from which, over a period of time, like the rare earth mud it will flow out from another exit. Another one is the direct digging, they transported to the foot piece of land clearing, washing with ammonium sulfate solution to quickly obtain rare.

It is understood that this group of people is generally illegal mining of rare earths until the evening or holidays. After the illegal mining of rare earths, used car the night away, transferred to other places drying and separation. After the rare earth drying, into a white lime powder similar way. Quotes good, the selling price per ton up to twenty or thirty million.

Villagers reported threats by unidentified persons

Gan village close to potential illegal dens, dens located upstream of the water, Gan village farmland located downstream. Outlaws the bags of chemicals transported into the mountains, the mountains when the solution is poured into the ground, water will continuously flow into the fields around the village Gan and water. This phenomenon has aroused the vigilance of nearby villagers. The village of some literate young people learn through online searching elsewhere had a similar phenomenon of illegal mining to the local cause serious environmental pollution.

It is understood that outlaws the use of ammonium sulfate solution into the ground, and the residue in the soil and a high concentration of ammonium sulfate ion, roots will burn the plants, the formation of ammonia pollution. When it rains, these substances are washed into the river, it will pollute the environment.

Reporters saw at Gan village fields, are dens of sewage-soaked farmland to grow rice, than not being sewage soaked rice farmland to grow shorter by half. According to the villagers, said Gan, a phenomenon never seen before.

Some villagers, since May of this year, after they reported the matter to the authorities, they often have unidentified people into the village, they threatened the villagers are not allowed to report. Now, many villagers are silent resentment.

Law enforcement officers repeatedly hit a walk without a break point to start illegal mining

For months, Gan villagers do not know who this group of people behind the boss is, they only know to participate in illegal mining outside the village, but there are occasionally heard dens Guangdong vernacular and Mandarin speaking people. Sometimes local land departments of law enforcement officers came to driving, but a few days later, the group has properly started.

November 13 afternoon, the reporter will reflect this situation to Teng County Land Resources Bureau. Relevant responsible person said, after they received a report in June this year, the Joint relevant departments sent a total of six times, destroyed the village next to the illegal mining sweet spot. Law enforcement officers had landfill mining pools, cut water pipes, smashed mining machinery. But after each enforcement, outlaws again rallied to continue production.

The person in charge said that this is mainly driven by the interests. Illegal mining of rare earths huge profits, the risk of being caught is not large. Since the illegal mining of rare earth process is simple, inexpensive equipment, were destroyed after the illegal illegal mining point, in a short time you can rebuild. To avoid being arrested, setting up sentry point on illegal mining were still in the mountain, not law enforcement officers arrived on the scene, they had to leave with the equipment.

The official said the Bureau of Land increased inspection efforts, continue to fight against this illegal mining phenomenon, will take some means, if necessary, will be mainly illegal mining were sent to judicial organs. Source: Guangxi News Network - southern China Morning Post
