Adjustments to China's Export Tax Refund Policies

Effective Date: December 1, 2024

China has revised its export tax refund policies to align with national economic and environmental priorities. The adjustments include:


  1. Cancellations of Refunds in China

    • Export VAT refunds for products such as aluminium, copper, and specific oils have been discontinued to streamline China's tax regime.


  2. Reduced Refund Rates in China

    • Refund rates for refined oil, photovoltaic products, batteries, and non-metallic minerals have been reduced from 13% to 9%, reflecting China's commitment to resource optimisation.


  3. Policy Goals in China

    • These changes aim to encourage industrial efficiency, reduce reliance on resource-heavy exports, and align with China's sustainability goals.
