(2) Preferential corporate income tax policies for for-profit private schools. In view of the characteristics of private academic education schools and preschool education institutions, such as great financial contribution, strong public welfare, high threshold, strict government control and heavy school assets, in order to attract social capital into the field of education, it is suggested to make use of tax policy innovation, give full play to the leverage of tax policy, and vigorously support for-profit academic education schools and preschool education institutions. According to the relevant provisions of the Enterprise Income Tax Law, guided by the spirit of encouraging social forces and giving tax incentives to for-profit private schools in Several Opinions, and referring to the tax provisions of Article 28 of the Enterprise Income Tax Law on high-tech enterprises, it is suggested that for-profit private schools engaged in academic education and preschool education be taxed at the rate of 15%.

Both non-profit and for-profit private schools should follow this rule. It is suggested that the organizers of private schools should fulfill their investment obligations according to law and transfer all the assets invested in running schools, such as land and school buildings, to the name of the school. Organizers transfer land and school buildings to for-profit private schools, only charge certificate fees, and are exempt from VAT, land VAT, deed tax, stamp duty and other taxes.
