China’s proposed VAT reforms, open for public comment until September 10, 2025, introduce significant changes to the crediting of input VAT. The new rules restrict credits for large assets over RMB 5 million, disallow input VAT on loan-related costs, and make input VAT on non-taxable activities non-creditable. These changes require companies, especially those with large assets and cross-border operations, to implement new tracking and reconciliation systems. Additionally, the introduction of a General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) gives tax authorities broader power to challenge transactions. Overall, the reforms aim to tighten VAT credits, impose new reporting obligations, and align China’s tax system with international standards.
