Key Points Summary Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the differences between the old and new Value-Added Tax (VAT) law in China, which will take effect on January 1, 2026, highlighting key changes that will impact businesses, particularly small-scale taxpayers and general taxpayers. Group 1: Taxpayer Classification - Companies with annual sales of approximately 4 million yuan will be classified as small-scale taxpayers under the new VAT law, as their taxable sales do not exceed 5 million yuan, allowing them to use a simplified tax calculation method at a rate of 3% [2] - Small-scale taxpayers can choose to register as general taxpayers if they maintain sound accounting practices and can provide accurate tax documentation, enabling them to use the general tax calculation method [2] Group 2: Tax Reporting Periods - Companies that previously reported taxes on a "3-day" basis will no longer be able to do so under the new law, which eliminates short reporting periods of 1, 3, and 5 days. The new reporting periods will be ten days, fifteen days, one month, or one quarter [3] - Tax authorities will determine the specific reporting period based on the company's taxable amount, and companies with infrequent taxable transactions may report taxes on a per-transaction basis [3] Group 3: Tax Rate Application - If a company sells goods with a 13% tax rate and services with a 6% tax rate without separately accounting for sales, the higher tax rate of 13% will apply [3] - General taxpayers acquiring long-term assets for mixed-use can initially deduct the full input tax, but must adjust the deductible input tax annually based on the asset's usage and the applicable non-deductible items [3]
