Environmental protection is no longer an option for enterprises, but a rigid bottom line for the survival and development of livestock entities, forcing the industry to accelerate green transformation and the resource utilization of manure, and promoting the shift of the livestock industry from scale expansion to high-quality and sustainable development.On July 28, Hu Jinglin, Director of the State Taxation Administration, introduced at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that in the first half of this year, tax reductions and exemptions implemented by the state in areas such as elderly care, medical care, education, and employment increased by 11.8% year-on-year; 126 million people enjoyed special additional deductions for individual income tax on elderly care, medical care, and education, an increase of 5.9% over the previous year, with tax reductions exceeding 320 billion yuan, an increase of 8.2% over the previous year.
