1月9日晚间，财政部、税务总局发布关于出口退税政策的公告，提到2026年4月1日起，将取消光伏等产 品的增值税出口退税，意味着光伏的"退税补贴时代"即将结束。 现行光伏产品的增值税出口退税的税率为9%。2024年11月15日，财政部、税务总局发布关于调整出口 退税政策的公告称，2024年12月1日起，光伏产品出口退税从13％下降至9％。 谈及退税取消后对行业的影响，SMM光伏高级分析师郑天鸿告诉第一财经记者，预计对光伏组件产品 的冲击最大，主要影响为企业直接成本的增加以及价格竞争力的下降。 在郑天鸿看来，出口退税取消意味着，光伏组件出口企业无法再享受到增值税返还的优惠，从而带来成 本增加。"相当于每块210R的光伏组件，出口利润减少46元至51元，企业出口毛利率将被压缩，企业的 出口成本增加。" "预计后续中国企业将重新商谈出口产品的价格，且出口退税带来的成本增加将转移到海外客户身 上。"郑天鸿认为，在出口成本以及海外组件价格预计增加的趋势下，短期内国内落后产能出清速度预 计将加快，龙头企业以及高技术企业凭借其规模以及技术优势，有望扩大市场份额。 郑天鸿对记者解释称，在2026年4月出口退税取消前，海外终端企 ...
