Core Viewpoint - The recent tax policy change regarding the interest income from newly issued government bonds, local government bonds, and financial bonds is expected to have a limited impact on the investment returns of insurance companies, despite the restoration of value-added tax (VAT) on these bonds [1][3][4]. Tax Policy Changes - As of August 8, 2023, interest income from newly issued government bonds, local government bonds, and financial bonds will be subject to VAT, with rates set at 6% for self-managed institutions and 3% for asset management products [2][3]. - Existing bonds issued before this date will continue to be exempt from VAT until maturity [2]. Impact on Investment Returns - Analysts estimate that the impact on net investment yield and total investment yield will be minimal, with a potential decrease of only 2 to 3 basis points (BP) [1][3]. - The expected decline in yield for insurance companies' bond investments is projected to be around 9.6 BP based on a 6% VAT rate applied to a 10-year government bond with a coupon rate of 1.7% [3]. Long-term Implications - The short-term negative impact on profitability for insurance companies is estimated to be less than 1%, with potential for a slight increase in negative effects as existing bonds mature and are reallocated [4][5]. - The overall influence on the insurance sector's investment strategy is expected to remain limited, as bonds will continue to play a crucial role in asset allocation due to their stability and alignment with liability durations [6][7]. Asset Allocation Trends - Despite the tax changes, bonds are expected to maintain their status as a " ballast" in insurance asset allocation, with a continued focus on long-duration bonds [6]. - There is a potential shift towards equity investments, but this will be influenced by various factors including solvency and market conditions, rather than solely the tax adjustments [7]. Investment Management Strategies - The adjustment in tax policy may enhance the attractiveness of credit bonds and corporate bonds, which have been subject to tax previously, potentially leading to increased allocations in these areas [6]. - The operational structure of asset management products may lead to a preference for external management options due to lower VAT implications, although other factors such as income tax and management fees will also be considered [7].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent announcement by two departments regarding the reinstatement of value-added tax (VAT) on interest income from newly issued government bonds, local bonds, and financial bonds starting from August 8, which reverses the previous tax exemption policy [1]. Summary by Sections Tax Implications - The cancellation of the tax exemption applies specifically to the VAT on interest income, which is a fundamental aspect of the discussion [4]. - Different types of investors and their respective tax rates on bond investments are outlined, showing that public funds and certain asset management products previously enjoyed a 0% tax rate on government and local bonds [5]. Market Reactions and Conclusions - The first conclusion indicates that existing bonds (old bonds) will not be affected by the new tax policy, which is beneficial for these older securities [6]. - The second conclusion suggests that the new tax policy is relatively favorable for interest rate bonds while being unfavorable for financial bonds issued by banks and brokerages, as the latter will be subject to the new tax rules [8]. - The third conclusion states that credit bonds will benefit from the policy change since their tax obligations remain unchanged, leading to a narrowing of the price gap between credit bonds and interest rate bonds [9][10]. - The fourth conclusion emphasizes that the overall impact on bond investments is negative, as the removal of the tax exemption is detrimental to the bond category as a whole [11]. Fiscal Context - The fifth conclusion highlights the need for the government to find new sources of revenue, as public budget revenues have declined, necessitating the introduction of taxes on bond interest income [13][15]. Impact on Financial Institutions - The sixth conclusion discusses the implications for banks, brokerages, and insurance companies, noting that their bond issuance costs will increase and their profits will be affected due to the additional tax burden [16][17]. Individual Investors - The seventh conclusion reassures individual investors that the impact of the tax change on their investments is minimal, suggesting they should continue with their investment strategies without significant concern [18][19].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In June 2025, the year-on-year growth rate of bond custody balance was 14.9%, slightly down 0.3 percentage points from May. The newly added custody scale was 1.4 trillion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 176.9 billion yuan. The main contributors to the year-on-year decrease were interbank certificates of deposit, while interest rate bonds increased year-on-year [3][6]. - Except for foreign investors who continued to reduce their holdings, the overall bond - allocation strength of institutions was not weak. Banks, insurance and other allocation - type institutions maintained year - on - year increases, while non - legal person products, foreign investors and securities firms had year - on - year decreases [3]. - Looking ahead, it is necessary to pay attention to the trend of equities and the pressure evolution of the fund's liability side. In July, the bond supply structure is likely to continue the situation in June, with government bonds increasing and interbank certificates of deposit decreasing. However, it is expected that the net supply of government bonds will decline from August to September, and the supply pressure in the bond market may ease [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond Custody Situation in June 2025 - The year - on - year growth rate of bond custody balance was 14.9%, and the newly added custody scale was 1.4 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 176.9 billion yuan [3][6]. - In terms of bond types, interest rate bonds (treasury bonds + local government bonds + policy - based financial bonds) and financial bonds increased year - on - year, especially government bonds.

Interbank certificates of deposit decreased significantly, and the net supply turned negative, continuing the downward trend since the second quarter [3][19]. 3.2 Bond - Allocation Situation of Different Institutions in June 2025 - **Banks**: With the increasing growth rate of the deposit - loan gap, bond investment maintained a year - on - year increase, and they preferred local government bonds in terms of structure [3]. - **Insurance**: The liability side remained abundant. In the bullish bond market atmosphere in June, they increased the allocation of bonds, mainly increasing the allocation of local government bonds, credit bonds and financial bonds [3]. - **Non - legal person products**: Although the year - on - year increase was significantly less, affected by the high base of manual interest compensation last year, the actual bond - allocation strength was not weak. They reduced the allocation of interbank certificates of deposit and increased the allocation of active varieties such as treasury bonds and policy - based financial bonds [3]. - **Foreign investors**: They continued the selling trend in May, mainly because the appreciation of the RMB against the US dollar led to a decline in the carry - trade income of foreign institutions [3]. - **Securities firms**: They increased their holdings by 15.14 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 5.29 billion yuan. But the absolute scale of bond allocation was not much different from the seasonality, and they replenished some bond positions in June after net selling in May [3]. 3.3 Outlook - **Supply side**: In July, the bond supply structure is likely to continue the situation in June, with government bonds increasing and interbank certificates of deposit decreasing. It is expected that the net supply of government bonds will decline from August to September, and the supply pressure in the bond market may ease [3][51]. - **Institutional side** - **Banks**: With high - growth assets and abundant liabilities, it is expected that banks will maintain a high level of bond allocation [3][52]. - **Insurance**: It is necessary to pay attention to whether the rise of the stock market will affect the insurance allocation rhythm. Although it is expected that insurance will maintain a certain bond - allocation intensity in July, the diversion of insurance funds by equities needs to be concerned [3][56]. - **General asset management accounts**: The liability side of wealth management products is relatively stable, while funds need to pay attention to the redemption pressure that may be brought by the continuous adjustment of the bond market [3][60].
