These measures are formulated to implement the "Several Measures of Henan Province to Support the Development of the Renewable Resources Recycling Industry" and to accelerate the development of our city’s renewable resources recycling industry, taking into account local conditions.

I. Promoting Industrial Clustering. We will advance the development of provincial-level circular economy industrial parks such as Guangshan County and the Huangchuan Economic Development Zone, support parks such as the Xinyang Venous Industry Park and the Gushi County Advanced Manufacturing Development Zone in applying for provincial-level circular economy industrial park status, and accelerate the establishment of a comprehensive and advanced renewable resource recycling system.Support the green, mechanized, and intelligent upgrading of existing renewable resource processing and utilization projects. Intensify efforts to attract investment, promote the extension, supplementation, and strengthening of the renewable resource recycling industry chain, achieve industrial clustering, and enhance industrial competitiveness. (The Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, and Shenxin Development Investment Group Co., Ltd. shall be responsible according to their respective duties.)

II. Increase Fiscal Support. Actively seek funding from the central government’s budgetary allocations and provincial-level special funds to support major projects in the utilization of renewable resources. Make full use of provincial-level special funds for energy conservation and resource recycling to support the development of circular economy industrial parks, with each approved park receiving a grant of up to 2 million yuan.

Encourage eligible renewable resource recycling enterprises to opt for the simplified tax calculation method, paying VAT at a 3% rate. To address challenges such as corporate income tax compliance and input VAT deduction for renewable resource recycling enterprises, support eligible counties and districts in utilizing new technologies—including big data, cloud computing, and blockchain—to establish renewable resource trading platforms and promote tax compliance oversight.Implement relevant tax refund policies in accordance with the requirements of the National Catalog of VAT Preferences for Comprehensive Resource Utilization Products and Services. Improve the tax refund mechanism to effectively enhance the timeliness of refunds. Optimize the processing procedures for refunds of unutilized input tax credits and intensify the implementation of VAT refunds for unutilized input tax credits in the ecological protection and environmental governance sectors. Promote the practice of “reverse invoicing” by resource recycling enterprises to natural persons selling scrap products.Encourage tax authorities to set individual income tax rates for individual businesses based on local conditions, and support the development of individual businesses in the renewable resource recycling industry.
