Boron steel export tax refund or cancel

Have futures daily reporter revealed that the industry has to cancel the boron steel export tax rebate is research in China. “Boron steel export tax rebate report drafted very early, but has only recently begun to study, the differences of the now.” The industry source said.

It was revealed that in addition to boron steel export tax rebates, the relevant departments in research to cancel some steel export duty policy. “What are two scheme execution at the same time, or cancel the boron steel export tax rebate, it is not too clear.” The source said.

We have learned, at present in China’s steel export policy, general long products is a plus tax policy, boron steel is a tax rebate policy.
