Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the impact of a rumor regarding potential tax rate adjustments on the gaming industry, which led to significant fluctuations in stock prices for major gaming companies like Tencent and NetEase. However, the credibility of the rumor is questioned by industry experts and analysts [2][4][5]. Group 1: Market Reactions - On February 3, gaming stocks experienced a sharp decline, with Tencent dropping over 6% and NetEase falling more than 3% during intraday trading. However, by the end of the day, A-share gaming stocks rebounded, with Century Huatong and Jiubang Technology both rising over 2% [2]. - The gaming index (BK1406) increased by more than 3.4% by the end of the trading day, with several stocks, including Shunwang Technology, seeing significant gains, with a rise of 13.8% [2][3]. Group 2: Tax Rumor Analysis - A rumor suggested that the financial and internet value-added services, including in-game purchases and advertising, might face a tax rate increase from 6% to align with the 32% rate of the liquor industry, which could compress profit margins for companies like Tencent [4]. - Industry insiders have largely dismissed the rumor as lacking credibility, with Century Huatong stating they have not received any related information and that their operations remain normal [5]. - Analysts argue that the proposed tax increase from 6% to 32% is unlikely, as many companies already operate within a tax rate range of 15%-25%, and such a tax adjustment would require extensive legislative processes [5][6]. Group 3: Legal and Policy Considerations - The article highlights that the rumor is based on a misunderstanding of tax classifications, as the 32% rate applies to consumption tax, while the gaming and internet services are subject to value-added tax (VAT) at 6% [8]. - Current tax regulations, as outlined in the VAT law effective from January 1, 2026, specify three tax rates: 13%, 9%, and 6%, with financial and modern services falling under the 6% category [8][10]. - Analysts from Huachuang Securities emphasize that any tax increase would likely be passed on to consumers, contradicting the government's current focus on promoting consumption and economic growth [10].

Core Viewpoint - The credibility of rumors regarding potential tax rate adjustments for the gaming and internet value-added services industry is considered low by industry insiders [1][4][6]. Market Reaction - On February 3, a rumor caused significant fluctuations in the gaming stock market, with Tencent's shares dropping over 6% and NetEase's shares falling more than 3% at one point. However, by the end of the trading day, A-share gaming stocks rebounded, with Century Huatong and Jiubang Technology both rising over 2% [1]. - The gaming index (BK1406) increased by more than 3.4%, with notable gains from companies like Shunwang Technology, which surged by 13.8% [1][2]. Tax Rumor Details - A rumor suggested that the gaming and internet value-added services sectors might face a tax rate increase from 6% to align with the 32% rate applicable to the liquor industry, which could compress profit margins for companies like Tencent [3]. - Industry analysts have expressed skepticism about the feasibility of such a tax increase, citing the complexity of revenue structures in large companies and the existing tax rates already being in the 15%-25% range [4][5]. Industry Response - Various industry representatives have denied receiving any information regarding the rumored tax changes, with Century Huatong stating that their operations remain normal [4]. - Analysts from Dolphin Investment Research and other firms have indicated that the market reaction is likely an overreaction to the rumors, emphasizing that significant tax changes would require extensive procedural groundwork [5][6]. Legal and Policy Considerations - Legal experts and analysts have pointed out that the rumor lacks a solid legal basis, as the current tax structure is defined by the Value-Added Tax Law, which specifies three tax rates: 13%, 9%, and 6% [6][7]. - The current policy focus is on stabilizing growth and supporting innovation, making a broad tax increase counterproductive to government objectives [8].
