禅龙资产表示，税收政策的调整对存量券和新发券采取"新老划断"，存量券相较于新发券具备免税优 势，短期机构投资者在综合成本的考虑之下，可能会出现抢购存量券的情况，部分交易盘对此进行博 弈，推动存量券收益率下行，而新发券由于征税，对机构投资者的吸引力将下降。对于存量券而言，存 在中短期利好。 此外，禅龙资产还认为，在此政策之前，利率债利息收入免征增值税而信用债需征税，信用利差中涵盖 了这部分税收溢价，新规对利率债恢复征税后，利率债相对于信用债的税收优势不再，税收溢价也将收 敛，从而带动信用债利差与其他券种的利差收窄。另外，随着国债、地方政府债券、金融债券等利率债 配置性价比的降低，市场利率中枢有望整体上移。 日前，财政部和税务总局发布公告，自2025年8月8日起，对在该日期之后（含当日）新发行的国债、地 方政府债券、金融债券的利息收入，恢复征收增值税。对在该日期之前已发行的国债、地方政府债券、 金融债券（包含在2025年8月8日之后续发行的部分）的利息收入，继续免征增值税直至债券到期。 消息公布的当天，市场瞬间作出反应——新债征税意味着持有成本飙升，债券收益率应声暴涨。但短短 几小时后，剧情陡然反转：老债因"免税 ...
