Group 1: Tax Policy Changes - The Ministry of Finance has accelerated the adjustment of tax incentives, specifically abolishing or modifying several VAT policies across various industries, including wind power, nuclear power, and financing leasing [1][8]. - Effective November 1, 2023, the VAT exemption policy for onshore wind power, which allowed a 50% immediate refund on VAT for electricity generated from wind, will be abolished. However, a similar policy for offshore wind power will be implemented from November 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027 [2][4]. - The VAT policy for nuclear power, which provided a phased refund system for 15 years, will also be discontinued for new projects approved after November 1, 2025. Existing projects will continue to benefit from the previous policy until their respective transition periods end [3][4]. Group 2: Specific Industry Impacts - The financing leasing sector will see the cancellation of the VAT refund policy for tax burdens exceeding 3%, effective November 1, 2023, impacting the cost structure for businesses in this area [5][6]. - The aircraft maintenance industry will lose its VAT refund policy for tax burdens exceeding 6%, effective November 1, 2023, which may increase operational costs for service providers [7]. - Other industries affected include diamond trading, new wall materials, and coalbed methane extraction, all of which will see the cancellation of their respective VAT incentives, further tightening the tax landscape for these sectors [7][8]. Group 3: Broader Economic Context - The cancellation of these tax incentives aligns with the government's broader fiscal reform agenda aimed at standardizing tax policies and increasing fiscal revenue amid economic challenges [8][9]. - In the first three quarters of the year, China's general public budget revenue increased by 0.5% year-on-year, while government fund budget revenue decreased by 0.5%, indicating a need for improved fiscal health [9].
