China STA Clarifies VAT Input Tax Deduction Rules for Non-Taxable Transactions

  • China’s STA issued new VAT implementation rules clarifying input tax deductions for non-taxable transactions under Public Notice [2026] No. 2.
  • Input VAT linked to non-deductible non-taxable transactions cannot be credited against output tax, even if the activities generate economic benefits.
  • Mixed-use long-term assets valued at RMB 5 million or less can have input VAT fully deducted upfront; assets above RMB 5 million require annual adjustments during the adjustment period.
  • If non-deductible input VAT cannot be separately identified, it must be allocated using revenue proportions and later reconciled in the January filing period.
