Will the reduction of tax rate directly lead to the direct price reduction of drugs or devices? Previously, a person from a pharmaceutical enterprise told Yigu: "the introduction of tax reduction policies for imported drugs (devices) by the state will indeed reduce the tax burden of the relevant import enterprises. This measure is conducive to the relevant enterprises to reduce the domestic sales price of such products, but this kind of price reduction is not an immediate and significant price reduction. After all, the pricing of products is a complex decision involving many comprehensive factors Therefore, whether the price of the product will be adjusted accordingly depends on the actual situation of each enterprise.
