国家整治光伏产业低价无序竞争，取消出口退税支持 光伏、电池等产品取消出口退税"靴子落地"。 继2024年底中国将光伏、电池出口退税率由13%下调至9%后，1月9日财政部税务总局发布《关于调整 光伏等产品出口退税政策的公告》（下称《公告》），决定自2026年4月1日起，取消光伏等产品增值税 出口退税。自2026年4月1日起至2026年12月31日，将电池产品的增值税出口退税率由9%下调至6%； 2027年1月1日起，取消电池产品增值税出口退税。 上海国家会计学院副教授葛玉御对第一财经分析称，国家将陆续取消光伏等产品和电池产品增值税出口 退税，反映了不再通过出口退税的方式来支持这两类行业。经过多年出口退税支持，我国光伏和电池产 业在国际上已经具备竞争优势，但也存在一些问题，比如出现内卷式竞争以及其他一些国家反补贴调查 等。 对此，中国光伏行业协会名誉理事长王勃华认为，这一变化与企业主动调整经营策略密切相关，越来越 多的企业开始响应"不低于成本价销售"的行业共识，减少低价、低利润订单，推动盈利能力边际改善。 此外，自2024年第三季度以来，主要产业链企业固定资产和在建工程规模逐步下降，新建产能扩张节奏 明显放缓，行 ...

对上述产品中征收消费税的产品，出口消费税政策不作调整，继续适用消费税退（免）税政策。 表面上减少了税费补贴，但实际上直指"反内卷"。 与客户自提模式相比，电池厂自送海外的模式下，电池厂商需要承担更高的税收成本。因为他们不仅要 承担国内的增值税，还需要处理出口过程中的各类税务问题。这意味着电池厂商将面临直接的成本压 力，可能影响其利润率和市场定价策略。 1月9日，财政部、税务总局发布关于调整光伏等产品出口退税政策的公告。公告显示，2026年4月1日起 至2026年12月31日，将电池产品的增值税出口退税率由9%下调至6%；2027年1月1日起，取消电池产品 增值税出口退税。 杨玏认为，这项政策的出台，表面上看减少了对电池行业的出口补贴，事实上却对解决电池产业"内 卷"问题有着更深远的意义。中国电池产业，尤其是动力电池和储能电池领域，经历了多年的过度竞 争。低价竞争、技术模仿叠加过度依赖政策补贴，导致许多中小企业难以脱颖而出，技术创新动力不 足。在此背景下，相关政策希望通过下调退税率，进一步推动行业淘汰低端产能，转向研发技术含量更 高、附加值更强的产品。 中国出口退税制度自1985年4月1日起正式实施，电池类产品 ...
