Energy-saving TV sales did not meet the standard or refund subsidy

Yesterday, people familiar with the matter said that due to the sales volume of 500,000 units that did not meet the national regulations, some color TV companies faced the dilemma of whether the subsidy funds they received returned.

In June last year, color TV was first included in the national energy-saving products Huimin project. According to the subsidy rules, the Ministry of Finance will give a subsidy of 100 to 400 yuan for the promotion of corporate flat-screen TVs, and the target of subsidy is the annual sales volume of color TVs exceeding 500,000 units. The amount of energy-saving subsidies paid by the manufacturer to consumers. The Consumer Electronics Consumer Network was informed that in the past year, 13 TV companies such as Philips and BOE have failed to meet the standards, and the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission have decided not to give these enterprises energy-saving subsidies.

It is understood that from July last year, many color TV companies will sum up the number of color TV sales last month, to the relevant government departments to report, received a subsidy. Yesterday, a person in charge of a well-known color TV company told home appliances consumption network that over the past year, the company had sold more than 700,000 sets of energy-saving color TVs. At present, it has received 70% of subsidies from the Ministry of Finance. “I have to declare every month, and after the review is passed, I will receive subsidy money again. There is a time difference.”

The consumer electronics consumption network learned that among the 13 companies that did not meet the standard, some companies reported in advance and received some subsidies. However, some companies did not declare the subsidy.

“Our sales are only four or five million units a year, certainly not reaching the 500,000 sales threshold set by the state.” A person in charge of the company stated to the consumer electronics network that the company did not report and receive it in the same way as Hisense and TCL. Subsidy funds. “For us, being able to qualify for energy-saving products and benefiting the people projects shows that our products have strength and enhance the company's visibility. We think that the selection is more important than the number of sales.”

Informed sources said that there are two arguments for subsidy payments received by non-compliance companies. One is that the relevant state departments will no longer give these companies follow-up subsidy, but the previously issued subsidy will not be recovered. One is that the previously received subsidy is also refunded. The manufacturers have advanced the subsidy payments to consumers in advance, so that the company's losses will be relatively large. With a color TV subsidy of 200 yuan, if the color TV manufacturers only sold 400,000 units, it is the first payment of 80 million yuan. For each unit of 300 yuan, each family will advance 120 million yuan.
