Environmental protection tax rate

Environmental protection tax is levied by quantity, and there is no fixed tax rate.

Taxable air pollutants are 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan/pollution equivalent, and water pollutants are 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan/pollution equivalent. The determination and adjustment of the specific applicable tax amount can be decided by the Standing Committee of the local people's congress within the statutory tax amount.

Environmental protection tax is levied on four types of taxable pollutants: air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste and noise.

Taxpayers shall declare and pay environmental protection tax to the competent tax authorities in the place where taxable pollutants are discharged. Environmental protection tax is calculated on a monthly basis and declared and paid quarterly. If you can't calculate the payment according to the fixed period, you can declare the payment every time.

Taxpayers shall, within 15 days after the end of each quarter, file tax returns with the competent tax authorities and pay taxes. Those who file tax returns every time shall, within 15 days from the date when the tax obligation occurs, file tax returns with the tax authorities and pay taxes.
