China in Brief
Taxation
Before the reform and opening, China exercised a single taxation
system. Because taxation had no connection with the economic activities
of enterprises, this system lacked vitality. In 1981, the Chinese
government began to collect income tax from Sino-foreign joint ventures
and solely foreign-funded enterprises, taking the first step in
taxation system reform. From 1983 to 1984, the reform consisting
of the replacement of profits by taxes was carried out in domestic
enterprises, and a foreign-related taxation system was set up. As
a result, instead of a single tax category, a compound taxation
system in which turnover and income taxes were the mainstay and
other tax categories were in coordination with it was initially
in place and promoted the control of finances and the economy. In
1994, the reform of the taxation system was deepened, and a complete
structural adjustment of the taxation system was made by taking
the market economy as the norm. In 1996, China lowered the rate
of Customs duties and export drawback, and exercised import supervision.
