Whole Doc.
To the tax bureaus of various provinces, autonomous regions and
municipalities, to the tax bureaus of various cities with independent
planning, and to the tax bureaus of Harbin, Shenyang, Xian, Wuhan,
Guangzhou, Chengdu, Changchun and Nanjing:
Since implementation of the Provisional Regulations of the People's
Republic of China on Consumption Tax and their related stipulations,
various localities have continuously sent in reports on some questions
arising in the course of implementation, demanding clarification of these
questions. On the basis of the opinions voiced during discussion at the
forum on questions concerning consumption tax, we hereby inform you of a
few concrete issues concerning tax collection as follows:
I. The question concerning the levy of tax on the placing of orders
for processing materials
(1) With regard to the taxable consumer goods processed by individual
managers entrusted by the tax payer, consumption tax shall be paid at the
location of the consignor after these goods are taken back by the
consignor.
(2) With regard to gold, silver, jewelry, pearl and jade processed on
order of individual consumers, consumption tax may temporarily be levied
in light of processing charges.
II. The question concerning deduction of tax already paid for
consumer goods
(1) In accordance with the stipulations of the Law of Consumption
Tax, with regard to taxable consumer goods continuously produced with the
already taxed consumer goods purchased externally or processed on a
commission basis, the buying price of the already taxed consumer goods for
external purchase, or the withheld consumption tax collected and paid on a
commission basis for the already taxed consumer goods can be deducted when
consumption tax is calculated and levied. The buying price or the
consumption tax which can be deducted according to regulations refer to
the buying price of the already taxed consumer goods for external purchase
actually consumed in the current period or processed on a commission basis
or the withheld consumption tax collected or paid on a commission basis.
(2) With regard to the taxable consumer goods continuously produced
by the enterprise using the already taxed consumer goods which were in
stock before the end of 1993, the already paid tax is allowed to be
deducted in accordance with the actual purchasing cost (excluding
value-added tax) of the already taxed consumer goods when the consumption
tax is calculated and levied.
(3) With regard to the vehicle tires produced continuously by the
enterprise using the already taxed vehicle tires (inner tires or outer
tires) purchased externally or processed on a commission basis;
motorcycles produced continuously with already taxed motorcycles purchased
externally or processed on a commission basis (such as tricycles remodeled
with two-wheeled motorcycles purchased externally), when calculating and
collecting consumption tax, the buying prices of the already taxed vehicle
tires and motorcycles purchased externally or processed on a commission
basis are allowed to be deducted or the consumption tax to be calculated
and levied on the basis of the already paid consumption tax.
This Circular is put into practice from the day of receipt of the
