[China Federation of Automobile Dealers Commerce: Calls on Automobile Producers to Optimize Rebate Policies and Shorten Rebate Payment Periods]The China Federation of Automobile Dealers Commerce has issued an initiative calling on automobile producers to optimize rebate policies and shorten rebate payment periods: First, establish clear and transparent rebate policies. Simplify rebate settings, clarify rebate standards, and eliminate ambiguous rebates. In particular, for various types of non-fixed rebates provided by producers to dealers under different names to compensate for losses caused by factors such as price inversions, dealers should be able to have expectations and relatively clear calculation standards based on objective market conditions. Second, shorten rebate payment periods. Among the surveyed automobile brands, 18 brands have already achieved rebate payment periods within 30 days, fully reflecting these brands' social responsibility and brand image. Given the significance of rebates to dealers, we call on all brands to adjust their rebate payment periods to no more than 30 days. Third, refrain from imposing excessive restrictions on rebate payments and usage. Among the surveyed automobile brands, nine brands directly return rebates to dealers in cash, and dealers can freely use them. We call on all brands to return rebates to dealers in cash and ensure that dealers can freely use them. Meanwhile, do not set overly stringent assessment conditions for rebate payments.》Click to view details
