- China will remove VAT export rebates for photovoltaic (PV) products starting April 1, 2026, and for battery products by January 1, 2027.
- This policy will increase export costs, making Chinese PV products more expensive internationally and likely slowing export growth.
- The change aims to reflect the maturity of China’s PV industry, reduce trade frictions, and eliminate price distortions and overcapacity.
- The policy is expected to encourage industry consolidation, technological upgrades, and a shift toward higher value-added PV products.
- A surge in exports is expected before the April 2026 deadline as companies try to benefit from the existing rebate policy.
