"From the world perspective, China's tax on cultural relics and art can be said to be quite high, and an excessively high tax rate will hinder the return of overseas cultural relics to a certain extent." Lin Wanqiu frowned and said, "In fact, in order to promote the inflow of cultural art, many countries and regions have implemented preferential tax policies on cultural relics and art." "For example, Lao Ying only imposes 5% VAT on cultural relics and artworks; the United States only imposes 6.6% import tariffs on artworks that are less than a hundred years, while cultural relics that are more than a hundred years are completely exempt from tax, and value-added tax; Hong Kong and Macao are exempt from import tariffs and value-added tax on cultural relics and artworks."
"So many collectors will collect their own collections. In these places, or airport bonded warehouses, etc. For auction companies, the commission is only about 10% of the transaction price. Such a high tax will make collectors feel that it is too much. "
"The matter must be divided into two aspects." Zhou Zhi said: "The key to a country's system for cultural relics is to determine the current situation of cultural relics protection in this country and the country's attitude towards this matter."
"As for the current situation in our country, it is certainly unquestionable to promote the return of cultural relics lost abroad, but we also need to see another aspect, that is, the illegal circulation of cultural relics in China and various smuggling loopholes that flow overseas."
"Theoretically, only cultural relics collected by the family 49 years ago and those specially approved to exchange foreign exchange for cultural relics store after the founding of the People's Republic of China can be circulated in the market, such as those circulated in the cultural relics market now, it is difficult to define their origins."
"But in order to promote market vitality, the management of this area itself is still lacking. Therefore, a large number of cultural relics found in the cultural relics market are allowed to be circulated except for those that have been identified as tomb robbery cases and cases as stolen goods."
"This gave cultural relics dealers a lot of cultural relics to circulate."
" A way to clean up stolen goods, through layers of difficult-to-monitor transactions, ultimately legalized these collections. "
"As long as people who have collected collectors are well aware of this status quo, the country can only manage it through some more extensive measures, such as a one-size-fits-all policy, which is cultural relics before the Third Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. Unless you can determine the inheritance is orderly, you are prohibited from leaving the country."
"In other words, even if the meat is rotten, it is still in the pot, which is the minimum limit that the country can tolerate."
"For this reason, the art auction market has more restrictions. Many cultural relics can only be circulated privately, and it is difficult to be auctioned in a dignified and upright manner."
"As the prices of antiques gradually began to start, domestic collections began to become popular, and mainland art and antique clubs gradually became insufficient to support the increasingly large market. Therefore, overseas cultural relics have become the first choice for auction companies."
"This kind of reflux has changed from being brought back to domestic auction alone by overseas collectors to being organized for overseas buyers, and then auctioned in China. Most overseas cultural relics have clear circulation records, which is the most popular commodity in the auction market."
<< "The country has set up strict VAT barriers to make two types of cultural relics, namely, 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legally listed and 'legged' before domestic laws were sound, further stimulating more adventurers to test the law, resulting in the loss of a large number of cultural relics and the harm of a large number of ancient tombs being stolen, is obviously relatively lighter."
"Cultural relics and antiques are not simple commodities, but also precious carriers of our culture. Therefore, we cannot think about problems just from the perspective of prospering the market and promoting circulation. We must base ourselves on what methods to more appropriately protect them to formulate countermeasures."
"So you have accepted these boredom?" Mai Xiaomiao smiled and held Zhou Zhi, her heart full of pride - look at the girl's eyes of picking her boyfriend, there is no one like this kind of character!
"This is not a boring loss. My main purpose of collecting cultural relics is not to preserve the value of my assets through a second transfer." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "but I want to truly collect them and often observe the kind that I play with. To do this, paying taxes and entering the customs is the only truly legal way. I just do things according to the law without leaving any flaws."
"But Sister Wanqiu also has the power to propose now, right?" Zhou Zhi said, "In fact, I can give the country a suggestion. For example, all Chinese cultural relics collected by state-owned cultural relics that are obtained by accepting donations from overseas institutions and individuals, or from overseas pursuits, can be exempted from customs duties, value-added tax and consumption tax during the import process." "As long as the purpose of cultural relics returning is donation and the final ownership is the national collection unit, these taxes should be completely exempted."
"It makes sense." Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "I keep this for a proposal. I have to pay import tax first when donating cultural relics. It's really unreasonable." "But let's finish the work in our hands first." "Where did this come from?" Zhou Zhi picked up a very detailed small pastel porcelain bowl.
"Spain."
"Have you all gone to non-English speaking areas?"
"Well, do you know how hard I have worked?" Seeing Zhou Zhi start taking over, Lin Wanqiu let go while showing off his skills: "I'll make coffee for everyone."
"Get some more biscuits." Li Laoer added in the back: "From the calculation office, there's no meal yet."
"I'll help." Mai Xiaomiao is quite obedient: "By the way, look at your collection here, Sister Wanqiu."
"I'm all passing goods, and good things can't be kept in my hands." Lin Wanqiu took Mai Xiaomiao to the catering area: "The real good things are all over the elbow, you've seen them all for a long time?"
"Well, he also gave me a set of small tea sets from Hutian Kiln."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Lin Wanqiu heard Mai Xiaomiao say this, and she knew her weight in Zhou Zhi's heart. Although the batch of Hutian Kiln porcelain was not a precious thing, it was Zhou Zhi's earliest collection. Not only can it be left to the present, but it is also of great significance to Zhou Zhi. It is usually locked in the insurance warehouse and not taken out.
On ordinary people couldn't get in the warehouse. Zhou Zhi actually brought Mai Xiaomiao, a layman, into it and even gave her collections, which was enough to illustrate the problem.
"Listen to me, if you go in next time, you will need a set of porcelain with water and peach blossoms." Lin Wanqiu gave Mai Xiaomiao a narrow idea: "Or want his rouge purple lavish plate."
"What rouge purple lavish plate?"
"It's just a small plate with purple-red outside, bats and red-skinned radishes painted inside, and a longevity peach at the bottom. The middle of the longevity peach is written in cinnabar red, which is not particularly neat, with the four small characters "Made in Yongzheng Year". "
"Huh? That plate was bought by me and I, in that big willow tree ghost market." (End of this chapter)
