2026 guide to enterprise tax incentives
This calculator follows the tax rules in force for 2026. Key incentives:
VAT Incentives
- Small-scale taxpayer exemption: monthly sales up to CNY 100K (or quarterly up to CNY 300K) are VAT-exempt.
- Preferential levy: small-scale taxpayers pay VAT at 1% on sales normally levied at 3%.
CIT incentive (small low-profit enterprises)
Small low-profit enterprises: on taxable income up to CNY 3M, only 25% counts as taxable income, taxed at 20% — an effective rate of 5%.
Small low-profit enterprise criteria: in a non-restricted industry, with annual taxable income ≤ CNY 3M, ≤ 300 employees and total assets ≤ CNY 50M.
"Six taxes, two fees" halved
Small-scale VAT taxpayers, small low-profit enterprises and sole proprietorships pay half rates on resource tax, urban construction tax, property tax, urban land-use tax, stamp duty (excl. securities), farmland occupation tax, and education surcharges.
Note: tax rules change often. Results are for reference; filings should follow your local tax authority.
