石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據WENews網站9月1日里約熱內盧報道，巴西有關部門周五在里約熱內盧表示，巴西乙醇進口的新規定已在周五生效，這些新規定對超過免稅進口配額的乙醇數量征收20%的罰款。 巴西外貿商會在一份官方的書面決議中表示，這些新規定將在兩年內有效。 這是巴西有史以來第一次對乙醇進口征稅，在來自當地生產商對乙醇不斷增加的進口量發出抱怨以后，巴西政府改變了對生物燃料貿易避免征稅的立場。巴西政府以前反對征收進口稅是為了鼓勵國內使用世界各地的生物燃料來增加本國燃料的出口，這一立場與美國是一致的。 由于巴西幾乎所有乙醇進口來自美國，因此美國的乙醇生產商將受到巴西稅收新規定的最大沖擊。 巴西外貿商會表示，巴西每年將允許免稅進口6億升乙醇，但這個免稅進口量將按季度分解。在任何一個季度，一旦乙醇進口量超過1.5億升，巴西將開始對超額部分征收20%的懲罰性罰款。 李峻 編譯自 WENews.com 原文如下： Brazil’s 20% Ethanol Import Tax Rule Takes Effect New rules governing Brazil’s ethanol imports, which slap a 20 percent penalty for volumes above a tax-free import quota, took effect on Friday, authorities said. Brazil’s foreign trade chamber Camex said in an official written resolution that the rules will be valid for two years. It is the first time that Brazil has taxed ethanol imports, with the government reversing its position of avoiding taxes on the biofuel’s trade, following complaints from local producers about rising imports. The government had opposed an import tax so as to encourage use of the biofuel worldwide, enabling it to boost exports of the fuel, a stance it shared with the United States. U.S. producers will be the hardest hit by the Brazilian tax, since almost all imports come from the United States. Camex said 600 million liters of ethanol will be allowed in per year tax free but it will be broken down by quarter. Once imports have surpassed 150 million liters in any given quarter, the 20 percent tax will begin.
