Does it feel similar to canceling the security check on the subway? , when the Yangtze River Delta is built into a unified market

Let me make a digression first. In recent years, the long queues in front of the subway entrance of Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station have disappeared, and the speed of passing through the turnstiles has become much faster. The reason is that in November 2019, the security check before entering the subway after exiting the high-speed train at Hongqiao Railway Station was cancelled.

The benefits after the completion of the unified market are somewhat similar to the feeling of canceling security checks at subway stations - the circulation of market elements will be faster and smoother, circulation costs will be further reduced, and the overall market vitality will be more vigorous and vigorous.

Within the Yangtze River Delta, the need for building a unified market is even more urgent. The "Yangtze River Delta Regional Collaborative Innovation Index 2023" shows that as of September 2023, the number of cross-regional investment companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Shanghai by listed companies in the Yangtze River Delta alone has reached 5,389.

To build a unified national market, simply put, it means "five unifications" and "one elimination", that is, through unified basic institutional rules, unified and connected market facilities, unified factor resource markets, unified commodity service markets, and unified market supervision. , and eliminate local protection to build an efficient, standardized, fair competition, and fully open ultra-large-scale market.

Focusing on regional integration, the Yangtze River Delta region assumes the important task of playing a leading role in establishing a unified national market and gradually explores a series of practical paths in important regions and key areas.

Chen Weihong, a business owner in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, knows this very well. More than 20 years ago, he founded a company in Wuxi from scratch to produce Western painting materials. Now, 80% of the products are exported overseas and sold to more than 60 countries. He has also established overseas factories in Vietnam and Cambodia, growing from a local factory in Wuxi to a global one. international enterprises.

The wood needed for the company's picture frames is purchased from the United States, New Zealand, Canada and other places, and the raw materials needed for the production of canvases are sourced from India and Sri Lanka. The core process of painting material production is in Wuxi. Key components must be produced locally and then shipped to Vietnam and Cambodia for assembly and processing. There is a key node in this series of processes: whether it is the import of raw materials or the export of parts, it must pass through Shanghai Port.

It is very convenient for Wuxi enterprises to use Shanghai Port for import and export. "The shipping company's truck carrying the container drives directly to the factory gate and loads the goods at the door. It can reach Shanghai in half a day at the fastest. The freight for a container to the port is less than 2,000 yuan." Chen Weihong said.

"I really feel that the connection between Wuxi and Shanghai is really close." Chen Weihong said with emotion. He thought about it carefully and said, "The connection goes beyond that." For example, many employees in the company's core team are from Shanghai. They live in dormitories in Wuxi on weekdays and return to their hometown in Shanghai on weekends. The company also has an art industry business, which mainly helps artists display and promote their works, because of the number of cultural venues in Shanghai. There are more and more types of activities, and most of the activities are held in Shanghai.

Chen Weihong's business spread from Wuxi to the world, thanks to the convenient flow of market factors in the Yangtze River Delta. Transportation infrastructure, human resources, cultural environment, etc. are almost shared between Wuxi and Shanghai.

What can be accomplished in 24 hours? In the Yangtze River Delta, one answer to this question is to enable a company to complete inter-provincial tax migration. The tax authorities at the place of relocation will handle the relocation immediately, and the tax authorities at the place of relocation will accept the transfer with one click and implement the entire process online. Chuangchuang Culture Development Co., Ltd. moved from Qingpu District, Shanghai to Haining City, Zhejiang Province. The transfer of tax-related matters took less than 24 hours.

In the past, when considering the relocation of enterprises across provinces, "starting from scratch" may be one of the obstacles. In particular, the enterprise's qualification information such as tax credit level and the end-of-period value-added tax credit amount and other equity information are related to the enterprise's production and operation. Once "repatriated" "Zero" means starting from scratch. After the "fence" for tax-related information exchange is removed, the tax-related historical data of enterprises migrating across provinces can continue to be used, and the original rights and interests will be inherited and the original qualifications will be retained, freeing enterprises from worries.

By the end of 2023, nearly 8,000 companies have said goodbye to the cumbersome process of repeated procedures and running back and forth, and have handled inter-provincial tax migration business online through the new process, allowing free flow. At present, the convenient handling mechanism and process for inter-provincial tax migration in the Yangtze River Delta has been successfully extended to the whole country.

In the field of market supervision, the "Yangtze River Delta Standards" have become a golden sign reflecting the high-quality integrated development of the region. In recent years, three provinces and one city have focused on regional unified standards and jointly released 12 regional unified standards in areas such as digital government and cultural tourism. Taking group standards as the starting point, 16 collaborative group standards for the Yangtze River Delta Integration Demonstration Zone were announced in areas such as rail transit and intelligent connected vehicles.

However, there are still shortcomings and deficiencies in the construction of the Yangtze River Delta's service to the national unified market. "For example, because the evaluation standards are different in different places, talent qualification certificates are not recognized in different places. A first-class chef in one place will not be recognized in another city, which causes difficulties in the flow of talent resources; another example is that technology exchanges in various places do not recognize each other. , intellectual property trading centers, data exchanges, etc., the interaction remains in the form of alliances, and unified transaction rules and unified data standards have not yet been realized,” said Wang Zhen, vice president of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.

Regarding the high-standard connectivity of market facilities in the construction of a national unified market, Wang Zhen suggested that the design of special mechanisms at the national level should be strengthened and the strength of the promotion mechanism for promoting high-standard connectivity of market facilities in various regions should be further exerted. The role of local collaborative legislation should be further used to enhance the market Institutional supply and guarantee of high-standard connectivity of facilities; joint efforts should be made to enhance the central hub function of various platform carriers in Shanghai and enhance the traction and integration power of high-standard connectivity of market facilities.
