Group 2: Reporting and Compliance - It is mandatory to report all VAT income, including invoiced and non-invoiced income, in the VAT declaration [11]. - For small-scale taxpayers, those with monthly sales not exceeding 100,000 (or quarterly sales not exceeding 300,000), must report non-invoiced income in specific sections of the VAT declaration form [12][13]. - If a customer requests a supplementary invoice later, the company must adjust the non-invoiced income in the declaration for the month the invoice is issued to avoid double taxation [14].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the differences between the two tax refund methods for value-added tax (VAT) in China: the "exemption and offset" method and the "exemption and refund" method, particularly focusing on how input tax can be deducted under each method [2][3]. Group 1: Exemption and Offset Method - Under the exemption and offset method, production enterprises can directly offset the VAT payable with the input tax obtained, and there is no need to separately handle the deduction purpose when goods are exported and then sold domestically [2]. - The process of exporting goods to domestic sales is defined as a change in sales channels due to various factors, allowing enterprises to access new sales opportunities [2]. Group 2: Exemption and Refund Method - The exemption and refund method provides a more straightforward calculation for tax refunds, where the handling of input tax only involves "refund," specifically refunding the VAT paid during the procurement phase for exported goods [3]. - For foreign trade enterprises, the input tax amount indicated on the purchase invoices for domestic goods is used for tax refunds and is not considered for input tax deductions. However, when exporting goods to domestic sales, they must issue an "Export Goods Transfer to Domestic Sales Certificate" to transfer the corresponding input tax to the deductible range [3]. Group 3: Management and Compliance - Companies handling the export to domestic sales business must pay attention to special regulations on input tax deductions, document management, and the timeliness of tax-related processing [5]. - In terms of deduction norms, companies need to apply for the issuance of the "Export Goods Transfer to Domestic Sales Certificate" and ensure that the input tax deduction vouchers are legitimate and compliant [5]. - Document management requires companies to verify the authenticity of agreements related to returns, inspection reports, and customs declarations for returned goods [5].

Core Viewpoint - The recent draft regulation from the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration indicates that interest on loans and related fees will not be deductible from value-added tax (VAT), maintaining the current tax treatment and suggesting that reforms in this area are unlikely in the short term [3][5][6]. Summary by Sections VAT Law Implementation - The draft regulation explicitly states that taxpayers cannot deduct input VAT on loan services and related fees, which includes financing advisory fees, handling fees, and consulting fees [3][5]. - This aligns with existing regulations, where input VAT on loan services has not been deductible [6]. Financial Impact - VAT is the largest tax category in China, projected to generate approximately 6.57 trillion yuan in 2024, accounting for 38% of total tax revenue [3]. - Allowing deductions for loan-related expenses could significantly reduce corporate financing costs and improve capital allocation efficiency [6]. Global Comparison - Different countries have varying policies regarding the deductibility of input VAT on loan services; for instance, Germany allows it, while Australia and Japan do not [7]. - The rationale for not allowing such deductions in China is that loan services are viewed more as final consumption rather than inputs for production [7]. Future Considerations - Experts suggest that while theoretically, input VAT on loan services should be deductible, current fiscal constraints and the potential loss of revenue (estimated in the thousands of billions) make such reforms unlikely in the near term [7].

Core Viewpoint - The expectation for the tax deduction of loan interest and related fees has been dashed, as the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have clarified that these expenses will not be deductible under the new VAT regulations set to take effect in 2026 [1][2]. Group 1: Tax Regulations - The draft regulations explicitly state that taxpayers cannot deduct input tax related to loan services and associated fees from their output tax [1][2]. - This aligns with existing regulations, which have historically prohibited the deduction of input tax for loan services and related fees [3]. Group 2: Financial Implications - The VAT is a significant source of revenue for the Chinese government, projected to generate approximately 6.57 trillion yuan in 2024, accounting for 38% of total tax revenue [1]. - Allowing deductions for loan-related expenses could significantly reduce tax revenue, potentially leading to a loss of several hundred billion yuan, which is not feasible given current fiscal constraints [4]. Group 3: International Comparison - Different countries have varying policies regarding the deductibility of input tax on loan services; for instance, Germany allows it, while Australia and Japan do not [4]. - The decision on whether to allow such deductions in China is influenced by the country's economic policies, tax structure, and financial regulatory environment [4].
