In response to the excessive burden of resource tax on phosphorus chemical companies and the difficulty of developing and rationally using a large number of low-grade phosphate ores, the China Chemical Mining Association recently held a special meeting in Beijing, inviting relevant experts and representatives of large and medium-sized phosphate mining companies to adjust phosphate resources The issue of tax collection standards will be discussed again.

　　At the first seminar held by the China Chemical and Mining Association, companies have reached a consensus: under the influence of comprehensive factors, at least the same taxation standards should not be adopted for high and low-grade phosphate rock. Regarding how to formulate the phosphate mineral resource tax collection standard, Professor Hu Duanping of Wuhan University of Technology suggested using mathematical modeling to solve the problem. Given that taxation is affected by many factors, he suggested that when considering resource tax adjustments, the scale of phosphate mining enterprises, ore grades, prices, transportation links, processing links, mining and dressing methods, phosphate rock age, combined mineralization, and mineral fertilizers should be considered. Combining 9 factors and comprehensive considerations, through the establishment of a mathematical model, according to the actual situation of the production enterprise, a resource tax difference levy standard is calculated, and this tax payment method is used to truly encourage enterprises to develop low-grade mines and make phosphate ore Resources are used more rationally. At present, through the efforts of the China Chemical and Mining Association, this proposal has received the attention of relevant national departments and is being actively and steadily promoted.

　　 It is understood that since the increase in the phosphate resource tax from 3 yuan to 15 yuan per ton on October 1, 2008, it has revealed that the system is unfair to some enterprises and is not conducive to the full utilization of resources. Many enterprises in the industry have reported that the current unified collection of 15 yuan per ton of resource tax is not conducive to the rational use of low-grade phosphate rock resources from a policy-oriented perspective. Consumption of mine. Major phosphate mining companies have stated that under the influence of comprehensive factors, at least the same taxation standards should not be adopted for high and low-grade phosphate rock.

The "2010-2015 China Phosphate Fertilizer Industry Investment Analysis and Prospect Forecast Report" released by the China Investment Consulting Industry Research Center shows that my country’s retained phosphate rock reserves are 16.786 billion tons, but the mineable volume is only 2.111 billion tons, of which the grade is higher than 30. % Of the bonanza is only 1.108 billion tons. After years of mining, the rich ore reserves have become less and less, and the mining will be completed in about 20 years at the current mining speed. As for the utilization of low- and medium-grade phosphate rock, it is relatively difficult under the current technical and economic conditions. At present, only large-scale enterprises and a small number of medium-sized collophane ore mining and dressing companies have established concentrators in China.

　　At this special meeting, Li Haiting, chairman of the China Chemical and Mining Association, said that because the use of high-grade phosphate rock to produce high-concentration phosphate fertilizers is difficult to change in the short term, it is difficult to rationally use low-grade phosphate rock. After the tax increase, enterprises in low-grade resource areas will have to pay more resource taxes than before while facing the high cost of mineral processing. Fertilizer is "grain" of grain, and phosphate rock is "grain" of chemical fertilizer. However, the heavy burden of resource tax on phosphorus chemical enterprises has not been improved. This will not be conducive to the development and development of a large amount of low-grade phosphate rock. Use.

　　 Zhang Furong, chairman of Hubei Huangmailing Phosphorus Chemical Co., Ltd., said that after the resource tax increased to 15 yuan per ton, enterprises with limited resources would be burdened with heavy burdens and all costs would increase. He hoped that the resource tax would be lowered through efforts.

　　 People in the industry are generally looking forward to levying a resource tax based on the quality of phosphate rock. Zhang Yanlin, research director of CIC Consulting, pointed out that high- and low-grade phosphate ore pays taxes according to the same standard, which puts companies that mine and utilize low-grade resources at a disadvantage and cannot compete at the same level. This is not only unfair, but also detrimental to phosphate rock. Reasonable use. The levy of phosphate rock resource tax based on quality can encourage enterprises to increase the use of low-grade phosphorus resources, which is conducive to the sustainable development of the domestic phosphorus chemical industry in the long run.
