How will the effects of the tax credit instrument in reducing raw sales/value chain develop?

Hamidreza Salehi, in an interview with the economic reporter of Fars news agency, mentioned the issue of Iran becoming one of the biggest exporters of virtual energy and stated: Our country has a lot of energy, mines and mineral industries, but the current state of the country is the result of policies It is a mistake that has been implemented in various fields of industry in recent years, for example, cheap water used in the production of tomatoes and watermelons, or industries such as steel and even cement, where a lot of energy is used in their production.

Referring to the government’s approach and the realization of energy as well as its positive effects and consequences in the country’s exports, he added: “I do not deny the sale of crude oil and its negative effects, but today it is not possible to simply accuse the owners of the enterprises of exporting energy, it is necessary to judge and Let’s be fair in answering this question, is this issue caused by the approaches and policies of the policy makers or is it a spontaneous movement on the part of the industries? What happened that this process was stopped in the 7th Parliament and the process of realizing the energy price was stopped under the name of Eid to the people? Salehi considered the only solution to this problem and the competitiveness of the economy to be the actualization of energy prices by the government and said: Considering the purchasing power of the people, these changes cannot be made overnight, this action of the government must be planned and implemented in the long term because People are the main backbone of a country and it can be said that our economy is efficient if our activities lead to an increase in their purchasing power.

He considered the research and development of enterprises to be effective in escaping from the virtual energy trap and said: “In order to provide more welfare to the people, the governments are looking for the bigger economic pie, which requires the bigger enterprises to increase their production and then , their sales and exports will also increase; To achieve this goal, attention should be paid to research and development (R&D) of companies.

Referring to the successful experiences of the world, Salehi considered the granting of tax credits as another way to prevent crude sales and added: the granting of tax credits is a type of government investment to provide more quality, production and productivity, with this view, our country can welcome expansion and completion The value chain will go.

Explaining the advantages of implementing research and development tax credit, he added: its biggest advantage is the effort towards growth and development within the framework of competition, this solution is a good tool for developing the production line, producing diverse products and circulating the resources of enterprises; With the implementation of this solution, companies can produce their own food and prevent the import of the same items, which means the boom in production and export and prevent foreign exchange from leaving the country.

Salehi discussed the difference between granting tax credits and tax exemptions in the direction of research and development in the country’s industries and added: According to the laws defined in the country, tax exemptions include those who have economic activities, that is, they are carried out with economic activities and with Presenting the sales invoice will benefit from tax exemption, naturally this will be an incentive for the economic activity of the companies; But the tax credit takes the companies towards development and quality and shakes the economy of the companies, it should be noted that currently it is difficult for the companies to spend on research and development, in fact, the tax credit is a step for the movement and economic activity of the companies. And economic activity is a step for tax exemption.

He stated: It is necessary for every country to pay attention to tax justice and the basis defined for corporate taxes in the laws should be the same.

Therefore, the evidence report shows that the state of industrial production in our country has very serious problems, and industries are facing a crisis of competitiveness as well as widespread raw sales; On the other hand, the granting of lifetime energy subsidies to industries has led to an issue called virtual energy export in our country, when the competitiveness of the country’s export product is not due to the value of the manufactured product, but due to the cheap energy by which the export product is produced. This issue is called virtual energy and the industries caught in this issue are called the industries caught in the virtual energy trap.

Unfortunately, our country has become one of the largest exporters of virtual energy in the world and our industries are highly dependent on the rent of cheap feed and fuel.
