Experts Say LCD TV Panel Tax Rate Increase Will Not Trigger Color TV Rising

Last week, the Ministry of Finance issued a notice to raise the tax rate of liquid crystal display panels that do not include backlight modules of 32 inches or more from next month, which means that imported LCD panels will increase costs ranging from a dozen to tens of dollars in the future. Some media claimed that this move will lead to an increase in domestic TV prices. However, an interview with reporters yesterday found that the new rate of the tax rate was insufficient to cause color TV prices to fluctuate.

Lu Jiebo, deputy secretary-general of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce, said that in the long run, the market itself can digest this fine-tuning of prices. “This policy will prompt enterprises to further develop their technological advantages. Foreign companies will also adjust production operations, such as Samsung, LG, etc., in considering the transfer of production plants to the country.” Wen Jianping, deputy general manager of Aowei Consulting, also stated that tariffs The cost increase caused by the increase can be resolved by internal digestion and will not affect the price of the color TV terminal.
