Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes that the primary obstacle to the healthy development of China's venture capital market is the tax system, which imposes excessive burdens on private equity and venture capital funds, leading to significant financial losses for investors [5][6][7]. Tax Burden Cases - Case 1 highlights that a private equity fund misclassified as a "private equity fund" instead of a "venture capital fund" resulted in individual LPs paying 18 million yuan in excess taxes due to a higher tax rate of 35% instead of the 20% preferential rate [9]. - Case 2 illustrates a state-owned venture capital fund being forced to pay 210 million yuan in back taxes despite having a net loss of 230 million yuan, demonstrating the unpredictability of policy risks [10]. - Case 3 shows an angel investor facing a tax burden despite overall losses due to restrictions on loss carryforwards, leading to a situation where they must pay taxes on profits from one fund while unable to offset losses from another [11]. Systemic Inequities - The article identifies three systemic inequities in the tax system: 1. Identity discrimination based on administrative classification rather than actual investment behavior [12]. 2. Mismatched cycles where taxes are calculated annually instead of over the entire fund lifecycle [12]. 3. A split market where the tax system for primary and secondary markets is disconnected, penalizing long-term risk-taking [12]. Tax Burden Analysis - A detailed analysis of a hard technology fund reveals that an LP's effective tax burden can reach 52.87% of their profits under the current tax system, significantly higher than the 15% capital gains tax in the U.S. [14][15][17]. - The article argues that under an international tax system, the LP's tax burden would be drastically reduced, highlighting the detrimental impact of the current tax structure on investment returns [16][17]. Structural Deficiencies in Tax Design - The article discusses the core issues with the current tax system, including the imposition of a 6% value-added tax on equity transfers, which is not common internationally, and the misclassification of fund managers' performance fees as management fees, leading to higher tax burdens [20][21]. - It also points out that while there are provisions for tax deductions, the actual application is fraught with obstacles, and the lack of a loss carryforward mechanism severely impacts early-stage investments [22]. Policy Execution Challenges - The complexity of the application process for tax benefits is highlighted, with lengthy procedures and multiple approvals leading to missed opportunities for many funds [23]. International Tax System Comparison - The article contrasts China's tax policies with those of other countries, noting that many nations provide favorable tax treatments for venture capital, which encourages investment and innovation [24][25]. Consequences of Current Tax Policies - The high tax burden is leading to a concentration of capital sources, with long-term capital like insurance and pension funds being deterred from entering the venture capital space [25]. - The average holding period for funds has decreased to four years, as funds seek to avoid tax liabilities, which negatively impacts the ability to invest in long-term projects [25]. - The article warns that the current tax structure is further constraining exit channels for funds, exacerbating the challenges faced by the venture capital ecosystem [26]. Urgent Need for Tax Reform - The article concludes with a call for urgent tax reforms, including the elimination of the value-added tax on equity transfers, reclassification of performance fees, and the establishment of a loss carryforward mechanism [27]. - It emphasizes the need to simplify administrative processes to ensure that tax benefits are accessible to funds, thereby fostering a more conducive environment for innovation and investment [28].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of non-consensus decision-making in achieving breakthroughs, contrasting it with the pursuit of consensus for stability [2][11][14]. Group 1: Decision-Making Insights - The article references a study by Stanford University that analyzed decision-making rules and performance data from hundreds of venture capital firms, highlighting that firms with higher IPO rates tend to avoid strict consensus in decision-making [13]. - It is noted that consensus-driven decision-making can lead to significant performance differences, particularly in uncertain environments where many unknowns exist [13][14]. - The article suggests that organizations should foster an open-minded culture that values truth-seeking over merely proving oneself right to achieve success [14]. Group 2: Mechanisms for Better Decision-Making - Maintaining small teams is recommended, as they tend to perform better due to improved communication, faster response times, and higher individual motivation [18]. - Encouraging junior employees to speak first in discussions can lead to more valuable insights, as their perspectives may be overlooked if senior leaders express their opinions first [19]. - Assigning a "devil's advocate" role within teams can ensure that dissenting opinions are heard, promoting a culture where individuals feel free to express differing views [21]. - Pre-meeting communication of project reports allows team members to form independent opinions, fostering a more open discussion environment [23]. Group 3: Case Studies of Decision-Making - Venrock Venture employs a process where partners engage in intense debates over each investment opportunity, allowing the proposing partner to make the final decision [25]. - TDK Ventures emphasizes that not all partners need to agree on decisions, reflecting the nature of venture capital as a pursuit of extreme values rather than averages [25]. - Founders Fund allows for smaller investments to proceed with the agreement of just one partner, while larger investments require more consensus, but not unanimous agreement [25].
