Original title: Japan makes 5g a national strategy, Nokia says it is cooperating with five Japanese Enterprises
According to sihai.com, the draft outline of tax system revision in 2020, which is being discussed by the Liberal Democratic Party and the Gongming party, has been exposed a few days ago. It states that the fifth generation mobile communication system (5g) should be positioned as an information and communication infrastructure which constitutes the foundation of economic society and national life, and 5g should be promoted as a national strategy.
Subsequently, (Nokia Corp.) said it had teamed up with five Japanese companies to provide next-generation 5g network services to corporate customers.
Japanese media also said that Japan plans to introduce a bill to Congress next year to promote the establishment of business relations between domestic telecom companies and their counterparts in the United States and Europe.
At present, 5g has become the commanding height of strategic competition and the key technology of social development and informatization in the future.
Akira Amari, chairman of the Tax Research Committee of Japan's ruling party, said: 'competition for the rapid development of new telecommunications infrastructure is very fierce on a global scale, and the Japanese government needs to make every effort to accelerate this process. '
In order to reflect the importance that the Japanese government attaches to the development of 5g technology, the scale of the tax credit is expanded in the new tax bill. For mobile communication giants to build base stations earlier than originally planned, and local enterprises carry out "local 5g", 15% of equipment investment will be deducted from enterprise income tax and other items based on national certification. If the enterprise is not willing to choose the 15% tax credit scheme, it can also choose the 30% dividend discount scheme.
The preferential policy of tax reduction and exemption has attracted many enterprises.
Nokia said it would establish ultra-high-speed communication networks with Japanese partners, including computer systems company ns solutions Corp. and telecommunications equipment maker Hitachi Kokusai electric Inc., mainly for manufacturers. The cooperation also involves Marubeni Corp., a trading company, Internet initiative Japan Inc., a communications company, and Equinix Inc., a data center operator.
In fact, the government of Japan has long been willing to cooperate with other large-scale enterprises in the field of 5g technology, which is far behind that of other countries.
In addition, Japan plans to submit a bill to Congress next year to promote the establishment of business relations between domestic telecom companies and their counterparts in the United States and Europe. Earlier, Japan banned Huawei, a Chinese telecoms equipment maker, on national security grounds.
Ironically, according to CNBC, Telefonica Deutschland, one of Germany's three largest telecom operators, announced that it would use Huawei as a partner in building 5g.
Moreover, after the ban on Huawei, Japan also began to bear the corresponding economic consequences.
A research report entitled "Huawei's contribution to Japan's economy" published by Oxford Institute of economics, a British think tank, shows that Huawei contributed 766 billion yen to Japan's GDP in 2018, and generated tax revenue of 208 billion yen (about 13.46 billion yuan). In addition to its economic value, Huawei has also directly or indirectly brought a large number of jobs in Japan, with a total of 46400. This means that after Huawei is banned in Japan, Japan will lose 208 billion yen in taxes and 46400 jobs.
