Uhulumeni waseChina uzobeka okusha ukukhala intela ngomhla ka-Nov. 1. Lesi simemezelo senziwa esidlangalaleni phakathi nesithangami sabezindaba esihlanganyelwe esihlanganise i-State Taxation Administration, i-General Administration of Customs, kanye noMnyango Wezezimali wase-China.
Ngokusho abaningi Izindaba ezitolo, intela enwetshwe izikhathi ezi-2 izobandakanya intela engu-36%. yokukhiqiza noma ukungeniswa kwamanye amazwe kwemikhiqizo ye-vape, kanye nentela eyengeziwe engu-11% emakethe yezitolo ezinkulu (e-China).
Le nhlawulo iza ngemuva kwesiphithiphithi esicishe sibe unyaka kubathandi be-vaping baseShayina kanye nebhizinisi likagwayi we-e-cigarette, lapho uhulumeni aqinisa khona isandla emkhakheni wokukhipha umphunga wasekhaya waseShayina, ebeka izidingo zokukhiqiza futhi ebeka imingcele ukukhetha kwezakhamizi zaseShayina imikhiqizo eshisayo.
Ingabe ama-vaper kwezinye izizwe azothintwa intela?
Although the information is scarce, several Izindaba sites are suggesting that products made for export may be exempt from taxes. The government press statement claimed that an “export tax refund and exemption policy would be applied for taxpayers exporting e-cigarettes,” as reported by Global Times.
Lesi sihloko saqhubeka sathi "ukuthunyelwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe kungaqhubeka nokuhlomula ohlelweni lwesaphulelo sentela," nokuthi "ukuthunyelwa ngaphandle kwe-e-cigarette kuzosekelwa."
If this is right, it will be disappointing news for Chinese e-cigarette smokers but wonderful news for everyone else. Almost all vaping devices sold across the world are made in China. A significant levy on Chinese producers’ exported goods would influence pricing elsewhere.
Intela ye-vape izosiza ekuvikelweni kokuthengiswa kukagwayi
Ngokusho kukahulumeni Izindaba I-Xinhua, intela "izothuthukisa intela yokusetshenziswa futhi ifeze kangcono umsebenzi wayo wokukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwemali okunempilo."
Empeleni, amanani entengo azosiza ukuvikela imboni kagwayi ephethwe nguhulumeni embangweni wemikhiqizo kagwayi engashi engenabungozi. Ugwayi ubalelwa ku-5% wemali engenayo yentela yesabelomali saminyaka yonke saseShayina. Izakhamuzi zaseShayina ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-300 eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.4 ziyabhema ugwayi.
Le ntela izoqala ukusebenza cishe unyaka owodwa ngemva kokuba i-Chinese State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (STMA) iphethe ibhizinisi lokukhipha umphunga. I-STMA ilawula zonke izici zomkhakha omkhulu kagwayi waseShayina, okuhlanganisa nokulawulwa kwekhwalithi, izinqubo zokukhiqiza, intengo, ukugunyazwa, nokusabalalisa. Yabelana ngesakhiwo esifanayo ne-China National Tobacco Corporation, imboni enkulu kagwayi emhlabeni.
Iziphathimandla zaqala ukuthuthukisa amazinga kanye nemihlahlandlela yabakhiqizi, abasabalalisi, nabathengisi lapho ugwayi wesifundazwe unikezwa amandla phezu komkhakha wokushushuluza. Inqubo iye yashesha, inemithethonqubo eminingi ebalulekile eshaywe ezinyangeni eziyi-11 ezedlule. Kusukela ngo-Okthoba 1, ugwayi kuphela-i-e-liquid enongiwe ingasetshenziswa ezimpahleni zokuphefumula ezimakethwa eChina.
