The propaganda slogan of rent reduction and exemption for state-owned enterprises

Under the epidemic, business has been affected, but rents can't stop, which can be said to be one of the biggest worries of many merchants.

Recently, from the central government to local governments, rent reduction and exemption policies for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households have been repeatedly introduced, and these enterprises have received real money support.

Implement as soon as possible! Rent reduction for 3 to 6 months

A few days ago, (SASAC) State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) issued a document requesting to do a good job in rent reduction and exemption for small and micro self-employed individuals in the service industry in 2022, and to reduce or exempt the rent for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry who rented the houses of central enterprises in county-level administrative areas listed as high-risk areas in the epidemic in 2022.

Among them, if the fourth quarter is listed as a high-risk area in the epidemic, it is necessary to reduce the rent for six months in full by withdrawing rent in the current year or reducing it in the next year, and reduce the rent for three months in other areas.

SASAC also put forward a time requirement for the implementation of the policy. Generally speaking, in order to actually complete the main work in the first half of the year, the supplementary rent reduction for three months should be completed within two months after being classified as a medium-high risk area.

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission issued this document to urge the central enterprises to study and determine the specific implementation rules of the rent reduction and exemption policy and do a good job in implementing it. Because at an earlier time, the policy of rent reduction and exemption has been introduced.

In February, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 14 departments issued "Several Policies on Promoting the Recovery and Development of Difficult Industries in Service Industry", which clearly stated that in 2022, if small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in service industry rent state-owned houses in county-level administrative areas with medium and high risk areas, the rent will be reduced for six months in 2022 and reduced for three months in other areas.

The policy package proposes that if rent reduction affects the performance of state-owned enterprises and institutions, it will be determined according to the actual situation in the assessment.

Common rules for rent reduction and exemption

Small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households are the key market players to stabilize employment, protect people's livelihood and promote innovation. According to the data of the General Administration of Market Supervision, as of the end of 20021540,000 registered market entities nationwide, including individual industrial and commercial households1030,000, and 90% of small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households are engaged in the service industry.

After the introduction of the policy, the implementation rules for rent reduction and exemption in various places were gradually introduced. According to the incomplete statistics of Sino-Singapore Finance and Economics, up to now, more than ten provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) have issued detailed implementation rules.

Henan Province

Henan is a province with quick response. In February this year, the notice issued by Henan pointed out that small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in Wechat business who rented state-owned assets as business premises and could not operate normally due to the epidemic were exempted from three-month rent and charged six-month rent at half.

Anhui province

At the beginning of March, Anhui issued a notice to clarify that small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households that lease the business premises of state-owned enterprises or the property rights of administrative institutions will be exempted from housing rent for three months (February, March and April) in 2022, and those who sublet or sublet will be exempted from housing rent until the last tenant.

Jiangsu Province

Jiangsu requires that in 2022, if the county-level administrative area where the state-owned houses are located is not included in the middle and high-risk areas, the rent will be exempted from March to May; If the detailed rules are listed as high-risk areas after promulgation, the rent will be postponed or reduced for another three months from March to May on the basis of rent-free. If the county-level administrative area where the state-owned houses are located has been listed as a medium-high risk area in 2022, the rent will be free from March to August.

Harbin, Heilongjiang

The Policy and Measures of Harbin to Support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises to Relieve Difficulties shows that, on the basis of six-month rent reduction for enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households that have rented their own properties from municipal, county (city) government administrative institutions and state-owned enterprises before the release of this policy will be exempted from three-month rent or extended for three months free of charge in 2022, that is, nine-month rent reduction.

Shanghai

Shanghai's "Several Policies and Measures to Combat the Epidemic, Help Enterprises to Promote Development" pointed out that in view of the impact of the current epidemic on enterprises, Shanghai has studied and formulated more supportive policies: the object of Shanghai's housing rent reduction and exemption has expanded from the service industry stipulated by the state to all industries.

I hope more private enterprises and individual landlords will pay attention to it.

Mr Lai opened a coffee shop in Sichuan. He told Zhongxin Finance that he registered early after he knew that there was a rent reduction policy.

The location of my coffee shop was once classified as a medium-risk area, and it is a rented state-owned asset house, which just meets the conditions. County-level relief for 6 months, 3 months in other places. Mr. Lai said that in addition to the basic commonly used documents, the most important thing in the registration process is a paper "Contract for Paid Use of State-owned Houses of Provincial Organs in Sichuan Province".

It can be seen that this round of rent reduction and exemption policy mainly benefits the tenants of state-owned houses. Therefore, there are more voices calling for more attention to merchants renting non-state-owned houses.

Ms. Qiu opened a clothing store in Anhui. She told Zhongxin Finance that since the second half of 20021,the business of the whole shopping mall has suddenly been not very good, and merchants have gone to talk to their bosses about rent reduction. Later, the boss reduced the rent and some miscellaneous fees for four months, and the annual rent changed from more than 50 thousand yuan to more than 30 thousand yuan.

This price was absolutely unimaginable in the past. Although business is difficult, I met a good landlord in China and want to stick to it for another year. Ms. Qiu said.

The "Several Policies on Promoting the Recovery and Development of Difficult Industries in the Service Industry" also proposes that all localities can co-ordinate all kinds of funds and give appropriate assistance to small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry that rent non-state-owned houses. Some insiders have analyzed that only when the whole industry actively shares costs and solves difficulties can the healthy development of the service industry be truly promoted.

Of course, the landlord has to live and eat. After the call for rent reduction, the landlord's interests can not be ignored. Previously, Sichuan had introduced measures, and all localities could give moderate financial subsidies to owners who reduced or exempted rents.

In this regard, Ke Cheng, deputy director of the Cultural Rule of Law Research Center of the School of Cultural Industry Management of China Communication University, suggested that after the rent is reduced, in order to balance the interests of the landlord, the relevant government departments can consider giving appropriate subsidies to the lessor in the form of tax incentives.
