Recently, the sales of smart home appliances, fitness equipment and flowers and green plants have doubled.

In Chencun Flower World, Shunde, Guangdong, the workers in Phalaenopsis planting base are busy pruning the residual branches, and the packaged flowers are uniformly labeled "Happy New Year" and will be sent to all parts of the country.

Wu Xiaohua, manager of Phalaenopsis planting base:They are all queued for shipment. I am very happy. I do it every day. I don’t have enough flowers. I have to go outside to adjust the goods.

There are also many local people who go to the flower market to choose flowers and green plants. In addition to palm flowers such as Phalaenopsis, Hylaenopsis grandiflora and Anthurium andraeanum, beautiful flowers such as lilies and money trees are also very popular.

Mid-Autumn Festival ＂private moon cakes＂ sell well. The industry says it is illegal to sell by friends.

　　Beijing, China, September 16 (Reporter Zhou Yifan Yu Zhongtao) According to the Voice of China report, today is the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Eating moon cakes is a must-have program for every family in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder where you bought the moon cakes that your family ate this year? Physical store or online platform?

　　Nowadays, it is nothing new to buy moon cakes online. Many moon cake brands also have flagship stores online. But the novelty of this "buying moon cakes online" we are talking about today is that the seller is not a company that makes moon cakes, but a private person.

　　This is the so-called "private moon cakes". To put it bluntly, it is the moon cakes sold by individuals through online platforms such as Taobao and WeChat friends circle. These moon cakes are generally made by themselves, without adding, and are purely handmade, which is somewhat similar to those online food delivery platforms that focus on private dishes cooked by their own families.

　　From this year on, this mooncake has a national standard, and many problems have been exposed in the so-called private cuisine, including lack of qualification, worrying hygiene and so on. Is the quality of "private mooncakes" reliable?

　　At the end of last year, the new national standard for moon cakes was officially implemented. This recommended standard requires the classification, fat content, sugar content, protein and so on of moon cakes. On the first Mid-Autumn Festival since the implementation of the new national standard for mooncakes, "private mooncakes" came into consumers’ sight. Search for keywords in Taobao, and more than 400 treasures will appear. The one with the highest sales volume shows that the monthly sales of private mooncakes is nearly 2,000 pieces.

　　The seller declared that "it is handmade without any additives". "Generally, it can be kept for about ten days, because we all have no additives, we all make them ourselves, and we don’t do them with additives."

　　Similar private moon cakes have also appeared in many people’s circle of friends. Endorsement by acquaintances, coupled with delicious and safe gimmicks, private mooncakes are generally very popular. Last year, Mr. Wang tried to sell homemade fresh meat mooncakes in a circle of friends: "In a circle of friends, because there were too many people who asked me for them last year, I said, OK, let’s start selling them, and then I sold almost 3 or 400, and then I felt that this business was quite easy."

　　The sales volume is huge and there is room for profit. In order to convince consumers to trust the quality of products, some WeChat sellers will also make videos of their own moon cakes and send them online. Miss Li from Liaoning said, "You can really see them through small videos. This intuitive way makes me believe in this kind of thing."

　　However, although the video can partially show the production process, consumers can’t judge the ingredients in the raw materials. Some media sent four different homemade moon cakes online for inspection, and two of them detected sodium cyclamate: "Its (sodium cyclamate) is 0.15 g/kg, which means that the two private kitchens can’t be said to be zero-added, because sodium cyclamate has been detected, and everyone will know whether it is zero-added."

　　In addition, after the production of moon cakes, there may be hidden dangers of food safety due to the limited storage capacity of family workshops. Gwan Chin, director of the Food Circulation Supervision Department of Nanjing Food and Drug Administration, said that it is actually illegal to sell directly to friends in the WeChat circle of friends, and the quality is not guaranteed, especially the storage period of moon cakes, or the storage temperature, which has a certain impact on the quality.

　　From the packaging point of view, these "private" moon cakes do not indicate the manufacturer, production date, shelf life, food production license number and food label, which also does not comply with the law. An industry insider who once worked in a well-known pastry company in Shanghai said: "Mooncakes sold in China need a qualified food factory to make and process them, and they need to be labeled with all ingredients, as well as the factory and contact information for processing them. Private mooncakes can’t do this because they are all made by themselves."

　　In July this year, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the Measures for the Investigation and Punishment of Internet Food Safety Violations, which will be implemented on October 1 this year. It stipulates that online food operators should obtain food business licenses or filing vouchers according to law. Those who have not obtained the food business license or filing certificate shall not engage in online food business activities. Liu Deliang, director of the Asia-Pacific Network Law Research Center, said that as long as there is sales behavior, no matter what platform, it should be bound by relevant laws and regulations:

　　"If you are a good friend, you don’t need food safety and health when you eat at home. The key is that it can target an unspecified third party, and the scope is relatively large. In this case, it is no different from roadside hawking, stall selling and Tmall Taobao. Around food safety, the law has corresponding provisions."

　　However, because it is a relatively closed sales environment, it is difficult for the regulatory authorities to investigate and deal with these private mooncakes that are sold in the WeChat circle of friends and have a huge sales volume. HanDong, deputy director of the Food Circulation Supervision Department of Hefei Food and Drug Administration, suggested that consumers should still choose qualified manufacturers: "Third-party platforms must provide information about sellers. If consumers have problems, they can first look for third-party platforms. WeChat circle is not a form of online sales of third-party platforms. From a certain point of view, it belongs to private friends who buy in mutual trust. Whether it has production capacity, quality and hygiene is guaranteed, Consumers should also keep their eyes open. We suggest buying moon cakes or going to a qualified physical store. If you buy them online, you should go through a third-party platform, which is also guaranteed. "

Looking through the CPI and PPI data for the whole year of 2022： prices kept running smoothly.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 12th Title: Prices Keep Running Smooth —— Perspective of CPI and PPI data in 2022.

Xinhua News Agency reporters Wei Yukun, Pan Jie and Shui Jinchen

Since 2022, under the background of high global inflation, China’s prices have maintained a stable operation. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on the 12th, the national consumer price index (CPI) rose by 2% last year, which was lower than the expected target of around 3% for the whole year. Looking forward to 2023, China’s prices are expected to remain generally stable, and there is a solid foundation for ensuring stable supply and prices.

CPI keeps running in a reasonable range.

Wan Jinsong, director of the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that last year, the monthly increase of China’s CPI was always below 3%, and it rose by 2% for the whole year, which was significantly lower than that of developed economies such as the United States, the euro zone and the United Kingdom, which were around 8%, 8% and 9% respectively, and also significantly lower than that of emerging economies such as India, Brazil and South Africa (from January to November).

Keeping prices running smoothly is very important to stabilize the basic economy. Since last year, China’s price stability has faced multiple challenges-

Externally, affected by the Ukrainian crisis and other factors, international energy and food prices have risen sharply, global inflationary pressures have risen, and imported inflationary pressures have increased; Looking inward, since March, the domestic epidemic has rebounded, which has brought some pressure on ensuring supply and stabilizing prices.

All relevant departments in various regions have resolutely implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, made efforts to strengthen the construction of the system of production, supply, storage and marketing of grain and energy, and made efforts to strengthen the price control of important livelihood commodities and bulk commodities. China’s overall price level has continued to run smoothly and become an important "stabilizer" for global prices.

During the epidemic period, many places in the country increased the organization of goods supply, strengthened the monitoring and early warning of the daily necessities market, and unblocked the "last meter" distribution channel to ensure that the quantity of grain, oil, meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables was stable.

Chongqing strives to solve the problem that residents can’t go out to buy food through e-commerce platform, group purchase and purchasing. Shenyang City, Liaoning Province organized three major fruit and vegetable wholesale markets, large supermarket chains and fresh chain enterprises to carry out production and marketing docking, and supplemented the supply of meat and vegetables through multiple channels; Beijing guides all e-commerce platform enterprises to prepare goods and ensure that the distribution sites have sufficient inventory …

Niu Yubin, deputy director of the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the food price index in the CPI rose by 2.8% in 2022, which was significantly lower than the increase of about 10% in major economies such as the United States and Europe. The comparison of food price increase at home and abroad is more obvious. The monthly increase of international wheat and corn prices is as high as 74% and 36% year-on-year, while the price trend of wheat and corn in China is relatively flat, and the retail price of finished grain is more stable. The retail price of rice in 36 large and medium-sized cities decreased by 1% and the retail price of flour increased by 3% year-on-year.

PPI year-on-year growth rate dropped

In 2022, the national producer price index (PPI) rose by 4.1% over the previous year, which was lower than the 8.1% increase in 2021. Among them, due to the decline in prices of petroleum and related industries, the PPI in December 2022 changed from 0.1% in November to 0.5% in November; Affected by the lower comparison base in the same period in 2021, the PPI decreased by 0.7% year-on-year, which was 0.6 percentage points narrower than that in November.

Since the beginning of last year, in view of the obvious increase in commodity prices, the relevant state departments have taken timely measures such as two-way regulation of supply and demand and joint supervision of the spot market to curb unreasonable price increases and promote the orderly decline of PPI growth.

From May 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, a provisional import tax rate of zero will be imposed on all coal; Establish coal price monitoring and cost investigation system, and carry out behavior evaluation and compliance review of coal price index; Intensify oil and gas exploration and development …

Faced with the intensification of fluctuations in the international energy market, based on the basic national conditions of coal, China has released high-quality coal production capacity in an orderly manner, accelerated the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases, and formed a "firewall" to effectively resist the sharp fluctuations in international energy prices.

Thanks to a series of measures to ensure supply and stabilize prices, commodity prices generally fell. In December 2022, the price of ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry decreased by 14.7%, nonferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry decreased by 3.6%, and coal mining and washing industry decreased by 2.7%.

Prices are expected to remain generally stable.

Fu Linghui, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that although the increase in global commodity prices has declined recently, it is still at a high level on the whole, and the import impact on domestic prices still exists. The domestic economy is gradually recovering, the market demand is expanding, and with the approach of the Spring Festival, the prices of pork, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits may rise seasonally, which will increase the pressure of price increase to a certain extent.

In 2022, the Central Economic Work Conference emphasized in the deployment of economic work in 2023 that "the work of stabilizing growth, stabilizing employment and stabilizing prices should be highlighted". A few days ago, the the State Council executive meeting made clear six measures to further strengthen the supply and price stability of important livelihood commodities, medical materials and energy, to ensure adequate market supply and stable prices during the Spring Festival, and to ensure people’s medical needs and warm winter.

Wan Jinsong said that looking forward to 2023, China’s prices will maintain a stable operation with a solid foundation. There has been a continuous bumper harvest of grain production, reasonable and abundant pig production capacity, sufficient supply of important commodities for people’s livelihood, strong basic energy security, further improvement of the system of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, and full confidence and ability to continue to maintain overall price stability.

Early in the morning, the biggest wholesale market of agricultural products in Anhui, the Baida Zhougudui Agricultural Products International Logistics Park, became busy gradually, and there were an endless stream of vehicles trading fruits and vegetables from all over the country.

"Considering the gradual arrival of the sales peak before the Spring Festival and the possible rain and snow cooling weather in the later period, the logistics park has formulated relevant plans to organize market operators to expand the supply of goods in a timely manner and actively and steadily guarantee the supply." Wang Ping, Assistant Director of Logistics Park Information Center, said.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued a notice to deploy the work of vegetable disaster prevention and reduction, stable production and supply; Hezhou City, Guangxi, guides large supermarkets, especially key key enterprises to take precautions and increase procurement and inventory; Gansu launched the action of resuming commerce and trade circulation, and fully supported the market players to resume work and production … Recently, all relevant departments and localities have implemented the central deployment, made overall plans to ensure stable supply and prices, and kept the "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" of the people firmly.

"From the recent dispatching situation, the supply of important livelihood commodities in various places is sufficient, the reserves are substantial, and the market prices are stable and orderly, which can guarantee the consumer demand of urban and rural residents during the holiday season." Niu Yubin said.

Learning the history of the party and providing excellent service： the tax department can easily make out invoices to solve problems

Recently, local tax authorities, based on the reality, have combined the study and education of the party history with the "I do practical things for taxpayers and facilitate the spring breeze of tax collection", constantly optimized the measures to facilitate tax payment, focused on details, paid attention to practical results, solved practical problems such as invoice issuance for taxpayers, and promoted the study and education of the party history to go deeper and deeper.

Online application for offline ticket collection

It is smarter and more efficient to collect and open invoices on behalf of others.

"This month’s invoices are almost used up. I called the Inland Revenue Department to inquire about the receipt of invoices. The comrades of the Inland Revenue Department told us that the free delivery service period of invoices was extended to the end of this year, so I applied for 27 ordinary VAT invoices online with a try attitude. I really didn’t expect that the tickets I applied for in the morning would arrive in the afternoon!" Ma Tingchang, a tax official of Guilin Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Co., Ltd., said happily.

It is understood that this year, Guilin Taxation Bureau of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China introduced the self-service machine for mailing VAT invoices. After the taxpayer’s online application for invoices has been approved, it will be pushed through the Guangxi tax invoice delivery management platform. The self-service machine for mailing VAT invoices can automatically receive data and print out the corresponding invoices and mailing lists. At present, enterprises in Guilin city can apply for invoices online, which can realize the delivery of invoices in the same city, and the earliest application can be delivered in the morning and afternoon.

Not only that, the tax authorities also continue to make efforts in the process of invoicing. In view of the special situation that migrant workers have many services to invoice for services and the time of invoicing for housing rental is concentrated, the tax authorities in Guilin vigorously promote the "fingertip convenience" mode of invoicing to alleviate the congestion of invoicing.

"It’s really convenient to invoice now. You can brush your ID card on the spot and receive the invoice directly by simply clicking on WeChat at home, which greatly saves the time for invoicing. I want to praise the new convenience measures launched by the tax department!" Mr. Xu Jianhua, who has just received the invoice, said that he is a migrant worker. In order to let his children enter school smoothly, he needs to issue rental invoices on his behalf every year. In the past, he had to queue up with materials to handle the invoices. In recent years, not only the materials needed have been greatly reduced, but also the whole process can be handled online.

It is understood that at the beginning of this year, a number of tax halls of Guilin tax department tested and launched self-service ordinary invoice terminals. Taxpayers can apply and pay on WeChat, and self-service machines can receive invoices. Through online application for offline ticket collection, not only do taxpayers not need to submit paper materials, but also reduce the waiting time for taxpayers to invoice, which greatly improves the convenience of taxpayers to invoice.

In the next step, the taxation department of Guilin will continue to implement the requirements of "learning the history of the Party, understanding thoughts, doing practical things and opening up a new bureau", constantly expand the ways and means of "non-contact" tax payment, measure the effect of learning and education on the history of the Party with the actual results of the work, and further promote the learning and education on the history of the Party.

Self-service tax terminal upgrade

You don’t need a tax control panel to receive invoices.

"It is very simple to invoice and receive invoices now! You don’t need a tax control panel, you can do it with your ID card. In the past, you always forgot to bring a tax control panel. If you want to get an invoice, you have to run again. It’s still so simple. " Recently, Yu Xiansheng, who is going to receive this month’s invoice by the way, said after completing the social security business in the tax hall of the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic and Technological Development Zone in State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China.

In order to reduce the tax burden of taxpayers, the Tax Service Department of the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic Development Zone has upgraded all kinds of self-service tax terminals in a unified way. Self-service receipt of invoices does not need to be connected to the tax control panel. Legal representatives, financial leaders and tax collectors can pass the ID card identification or WeChat scanning QR code for real-name authentication, and after the authentication, they can receive invoices, which greatly simplifies the "materials" required by taxpayers to handle business on the premise of ensuring safety.

Since the party history study and education was carried out, the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic Development Zone has actively turned the effect of party history study and education into work motivation, effectively solved practical problems for the masses, continuously improved the intelligent tax service level and optimized the tax experience.

"People like us who live in villages and towns are also very convenient! I haven’t been to the window for a long time, and my business can be done online. Moreover, we also have a self-service tax machine in Lushan Town. We don’t have to come over to collect the invoice. Occasionally, we can get the invoice near the service hall, even on weekends. " Mr. Zhang, who lives in Gushan Town, Economic Development Zone, praised the convenient self-service tax service.

It is reported that in order to clear the "blind area" of tax service time and shorten the distance of self-service tax service, the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic Development Zone not only set up a 24-hour self-service tax service hall to meet taxpayers’ holiday tax demand, but also cooperated with towns and villages to set up various self-service tax terminals in Gushan Town and Park Town, so as to facilitate residents of the two towns to handle their own business nearby, expand the "convenient tax service circle" of towns and villages, and effectively provide convenience for taxpayers.

Invoice approval quick office

Enterprises seek development with peace of mind

"I didn’t expect you to come so soon." Seeing the tax cadres who came to the company early in the morning, Zuo Yuru, a financial officer of Tianjin Ouka Toyota Automobile Sales & Service Co., Ltd., said with surprise.

It is understood that Tianjin Ouka Toyota Sales & Service Co., Ltd. is an automobile sales and maintenance company that has been operating in wuqing district for 12 years. It mainly sells FAW Toyota cars, involving a variety of models, and the car price ranges from tens of thousands of yuan to nearly one million yuan.

Recently, the company signed more than 60 car purchase orders, but because the original invoice was 100,000 yuan, it could not meet the existing demand. In desperation, the company’s accountants immediately contacted the XiaZhu Zhuang Taxation Office of wuqing district Taxation Bureau in Tianjin, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, hoping to adjust the billing limit from 100,000 yuan to one million yuan. After receiving the application, XiaZhu Zhuang Taxation Office started the acceptance work at the first time. Early the next morning, two tax officials from XiaZhu Zhuang Taxation Office came to the company to conduct on-the-spot inspection, and instructed financial personnel to submit application materials and submit them to wuqing district Taxation Bureau in time. Subsequently, it took only one day for the tax department to complete the examination and approval procedures and send the million-dollar invoice to the company to help it complete the invoice issuance of the order in time.

"Let’s tax service is really have no words. Over the years, after the new policy, tax cadres will always come to the door in time to explain, organize business counseling and training, and solve many difficulties and problems for us. We need such a good business environment to be bigger and stronger. " Ms. Zhao, general manager of the company, said.

Since the Party History Learning and Education was launched, wuqing district Taxation Bureau has insisted on combining the achievements of Party History Learning and Education with taxation work, constantly improving and optimizing service measures from the perspective of details, timely dealing with the difficulties and blocking points that enterprises urgently need to solve, and earnestly doing a good job in benefiting the people.
