Measures for the pilot implementation of changing business tax into value-added tax: Article 15 Value-added tax rate:
(a) taxpayers engaged in taxable activities, the tax rate is 6%, except as stipulated in items (2), (3) and (4) of this article.
(2) Providing transportation, postal services, basic telecommunications, construction and real estate leasing services, selling real estate and transferring land use rights at the tax rate of 1 1%.
(3) Providing tangible movable property leasing services at the tax rate of 17%.
(4) Cross-border taxable acts of domestic units and individuals, with a tax rate of zero. The specific scope shall be stipulated separately by the Ministry of Finance of People's Republic of China (PRC) and State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China.
All units and individuals engaged in VAT taxable activities and withholding agents who are not engaged in VAT taxable activities but have the obligation to withhold and remit VAT are VAT taxpayers.
Before 1994, foreign-funded enterprises paid consolidated industrial and commercial tax, but they were not VAT taxpayers. However, after State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China, People's Republic of China (PRC) issued the Notice on the Collection and Management of Foreign-related Tax Value-added Tax on October 6, 65438 (Guo Shui Fa [1993] 138),
As VAT is subject to the system of tax deduction with special VAT invoices, it requires taxpayers to have a high level of accounting, which requires accurate accounting of output tax, input tax and tax payable.
But the reality is that many taxpayers can't meet this requirement, so the Provisional Regulations on Value-added Tax in People's Republic of China (PRC) divides taxpayers into general taxpayers and small-scale taxpayers according to their business scale and sound accounting.
The specific classification criteria are: production taxpayers, annual VAT taxable sales of 500,000 yuan; Wholesale, retail and other non-productive taxpayers, the annual VAT taxable sales of 800,000 yuan.
