Common Taxes and Fees


Common tax types in China include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Value-Added Tax (VAT) (13% turnover tax): A tax levied on the value-added portion of goods production, sales, and services.

A. VAT Types: Value-Added Tax is divided into two types: general taxpayers and small-scale taxpayers.

General taxpayers usually apply higher tax rates and can deduct input tax credits, while small-scale taxpayers apply lower tax rates and usually cannot deduct input tax credits. In addition, different tax rates are set for different categories of goods and services according to the VAT.

B. Latest VAT Policies:

The Chinese government continues to implement tax reduction and fee reduction policies, adjusting the tax rates and preferential policies for VAT. For example, small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) are exempt from VAT. In addition, the taxable sales revenue of small-scale VAT taxpayers applying a 3% collection rate will be taxed at a reduced rate of 1%.
