With a view to implementing correctly the policy of tax reimbursement
for export products, and resolving problems existing in the present work,
these Provisions are formulated as a supplement to specific provisions
regarding the tax reimbursement for export:
Article 1
The tax shall not be reimbursed for those products which the State
forbids to export in cases where they are exported.
Article 2
For products reexported after processing with imported materials or
parts, the following provisions shall be followed in calculating the tax
reimbursement:
(1) For products reexported after processing which are subject to the
imposition of Value Added Tax (VAT), the amount of tax deducted already on
the imported materials or parts during the production period shall be
deducted from the tax base when the tax reimbursement is calculated.
(2) For products reexported after processing which are subject to the
imposition of product tax and reimbursed at the comprehensive rate of tax
reimbursement, the amount of tax reduced or exempted already on the
imported materials or parts upon the importation shall be deducted from
the tax base. When the tax reimbursement is calculated; for products which
are subject to the imposition of product tax but reimbursed at the rate of
product tax, the amount of tax reduced or exempted already on the imported
materials or parts shall not be deducted from the tax base when the tax
reimbursement is calculated.
(3) The following formula shall be used for deducting the tax reduced
or exempted already on the imported materials or parts:
Tax deducted =
(CIF of imported materials or parts X official exchange rate +
duty actually paid + product tax or VAT actually paid +
expenses at the port) x
the applicable rate of product tax or the deduction rate of VAT
for imported materials or parts -
product tax or VAT actually paid upon importation.
(4) The amount of tax reduced or exempted on imported materials or
parts used for processing the reexport products shall, in principle, be
deducted at a single time upon handling the tax reimbursement during the
month of purchasing materials or parts. Where there are difficulties for
an individual company to be deducted at a single deduction because of
large quantity of imported materials or parts involved and long production
runs, the tax may be deducted by stages based on the actual situations
upon the approval of a tax authority in charge of tax reimbursement for
export.
(5) Where imported materials or parts are used for packing export
products or processed into packings to export by a foreign trade packing
company, the amount of product tax or VAT reduced or exempted on such
imported materials or parts upon importation shall be deducted from the
tax base when the tax reimbursement is calculated.
Article 3
For export products which use products free of tax or with low tax as
raw materials, the rate of tax reimbursement shall be checked and ratified
by each locality according to the actual tax paid on the products, thereby
calculating the tax reimbursement. In case a foreign trade company fails
to provide the relevant documents not its tax paid actually is unclear,
the rate of not more than 5 percent shall be followed in calculating the
tax reimbursement.

The tax reimbursement shall not be given in cases where a company
contracting projects overseas purchases home-made equipment used for
construction abroad.
Article 5
Where products are exported by a company combining production with
foreign trade and a foreign-trade company on a mutual-trust basis, a
Certificate of Agency Export Products shall be provided when applying for
tax reimbursement. Where a principal entrusts more than 2 companies to
handle jointly the export, every company entrusted shall make out its
Certificate of Agency Export Products.

credential for handling the tax reimbursement only after it is examined
and sealed by the tax bureau in the city or county where the company
entrusted is located.

shall be returned to the company which bears the responsibility of profits
and losses for export.

authority in charge of import and export tax reimbursement shall have the
power to examine and decide the amount of tax reimbursement based on the
actual situations.

reimbursement, the foregoing provisions shall be followed in calculating
the price and expense of the products to be reimbursed.

the tax paid (on products and etc.) when a tax authority checks and
