Central and Local Income Adjustment Programs-October, 2019
the State Council issued a reform and promotion plan for income division between central and local governments.
Establish a long-term mechanism for VAT withholding and refund, and the share ratio between the central and local governments will remain unchanged during the Fifth Five-Year Plan. The local share (50%) of VAT withholding tax refund shall be adjusted from the total burden (50%) of the enterprise’s location to the first 15%. The remaining 35% shall be paid in advance by the enterprise’s location for the time being, and then distributed equally by all regions according to the share of the value tax of the previous year. The part with more than the share shall be transferred monthly from the central finance to the provincial finance of the enterprise’s location.
Part of the current consumption tax items levied in the production (import) link are gradually transferred to the wholesale or retail link to levy, so as to expand local income sources.
