留抵退税政策有效为企业减负纾困

自从4月1日开始实施大规模留抵退税政策以来，已经惠及多家企业尤其是小微企业。在疫情之下，退税政策直接为企业增加现金流，有效帮助企业减负纾困。

China's continued tax and fee cuts and the recent move of refunding value-added tax credits to businesses are helping market players withstand economic headwinds and are critical in supporting growth this year, an official said.

一名官员称，中国持续的减税降费措施和近期面向企业的增值税留抵退税政策能帮助市场主体抵御经济逆风，对于保证今年的经济增长至关重要。

Xu Hongcai, vice-minister of finance, said in a published interview in Economic Daily on Tuesday that this year, tax cuts and refunds work as critical means of keeping overall economic performance stable.

财政部副部长许宏才5月3日接受《经济日报》的采访时表示，退税减税是稳定宏观经济大盘的关键性举措。

Xu said the amount of tax cuts and refunds is expected to reach 2.5 trillion yuan ($378 billion) this year, adding that all competent measures will be put in place in an expedited manner.

许宏才指出，今年预计全年退税减税约2.5万亿元，并表示，各项退税减税降费政策正在加快实施。
