However, this is far from Hainan’s duty-free shopping.marketAll good expectations, because local Hainan residents cannot buy the tax exemption without leaving the island.ProductCurrently, the relevant central authorities and the Hainan provincial government are formulating a “positive list” for local Hainan residents to enjoy preferential tax-free shopping policies without leaving the island. By then, Hainan’s duty-free consumptiongroupIt will expand even more.

Hainan is very ambitious in terms of tax-free consumption.planningAnd he predicted that by 2030, Hainanfree tradeTax-free consumption in Hong Kong can reach between 700 and 800 billion yuan.

　　Potential tax-free consumer groups

In July 2020, the duty-free consumption quota for the outer islands of Hainan was increased to 100,000 yuan per year per person, and the consumption boom began in the Hainan Free Trade Port. At the end of December 2020, China Service Duty Free and Shenzhen Freedom obtained the tax exemption license, and three more tax-free shopping venues were officially opened in Hainan.

The reporter learned that current duty-free consumer sales in Hainan have basically remained at a level of around 110 million to 120 million yuan per day in the past four months.Hershey, It can reach the level of about 130 million yuan per day.

Relevant data shows that after the launch of the new duty-free shopping policy in the outer islands in July, until October 31, the number of duty-free consumers in the outer islands increased by 58% compared to the year above, while the amount of consumption increased by 248%. So,Tax freeConsumption has become the “leader” of Hainan’s economic recovery after the outbreak.

However, there is still a large part of the purchasing power of valuable tax-free consumption that has yet to be released, that is, the purchasing power that local Hainan residents have accumulated without leaving Hainan Island. A person who has been involved in the duty-free goods business in Hainan for a long time told reporters that according to current policy, local Hainan residents cannot buy duty-free goods temporarily without leaving the island. of Hainan.

“If Hainan residents have airline tickets and ferry tickets to leave Hainan Island, then according to theOutlying Islands Tax Exemption PolicyYou can buy it at a fee of 100,000 yuan per person per year, but if you don’t leave Hainan Island, the residents of Hainan Island won’t be able to enjoy the current tax exemption policy. Local Hainan residents still have a strong demand for tax exemption. “He said.

The relevant departments and the Hainan side are working to resolve this situation. The solution is to formulate a “positive list” for local Hainan residents to buy duty-free products without leaving the island. This positive list is currently under development. Our reporter’s information shows that “open” tax-free shopping for local residents in Hainan through the positive checklist system has been firmly established.

　　The first half of 2021 is expected to end

Through the positive list system, “open” tax-free shopping to Hainan Island residents has become a “fixed” general trend. So the next question is, when will this “positive list” end?

According to information requested by reporters from various sources, this positive list has been developing and if all goes well, it is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2021.

However, there is no clear statement on the status of products on the “positive list” for consumption of imported goods by local residents in Hainan, and we must wait for the final “positive list” to be confirmed.
