Since the beginning of offshore duty-free policy, Sanya, Hainan Duty-free store The "hot" atmosphere is not diminished, but the sale of commodities is "cold". A few days ago, Hainan Sanya duty-free shop ushered in its 100 day anniversary, and the passenger flow in the shop gradually tended to go after the initial blowout. stable 。 Since the implementation of the policy in April 20th, as of 10 June this year, Sanya duty-free shops have received more than 10 thousand customers per day, with a total volume of more than 340 thousand spanactions. Cosmetics, watches and other "low end" luxury items under 5000 yuan are the most popular customers. Favor For sales of more than 5000 yuan, sales staff admitted that sales were very small.

Before the policy started, duty-free shops had sales of about 3 million yuan a year, and now they can achieve such sales in one day. Wang Xuan, general manager of Sanya duty free shop, said.

The sale price is below 5000 yuan.

According to Liu Jing, deputy general manager of the Sanya duty-free store Co., Ltd., as of August 10th, the Sanya duty-free store has received more than 1 million 300 thousand visitors in the shop, receiving more than 11500 customers daily, with a total spanaction volume of 345640 pens.

Among many commodities, the price below 5000 yuan is the most popular among consumers. The proportion of goods sold in tax-free products is 88.16%, and the number of sales accounts for 99% of the total sales.

Estee Lauder (Estee Lauder), Lancome (Lancome), Gucci (Gucci), TISSOT (Tissot), Dio (Dior) and other world famous brands occupy the top 5 in the sales list.

Unlike the customers at the airport duty free shop, "most of the Sanya duty-free shops are tourists, and generally the goods in the shops are cheap." Liu Jing said that this is also the reason leading to the sale of commodities under 5000 yuan.

"The duty free shop in Sanya is the first pilot project that attracts nationwide attention, so the Ministry of Commerce and other ministries require us to report regularly, and we will also reflect these problems." Wang Xuan said.

5000 yuan tax-free quota is not recommended by experts.

In accordance with the policy requirements promulgated by the state, the total amount of goods purchased within the prescribed amount of tax exemption shall not exceed 5000 yuan. In this regard, many people think that the amount of 5000 yuan is too small to meet the consumption needs of large consumer groups. For products with more than $5000 or more, the amount of discount is even less attractive because of the need to increase 20%-30%'s postal tax when buying.

In this regard, Dr. Zhou Ting, a luxury research center of the University of foreign trade and economics, suggested that for a commodity of more than 5000 yuan, a graded tax rate can be applied as a personal income tax. The higher the price, the more taxes it will be; the price is relatively low, and the tax is relatively small. This will help stimulate more consumption. " {page_break}
