Investing in China: Local Investment Incentives in Henan Province and Zhengzhou Municipality
Summary
Local and provincial governments in China offer significant incentives to boost foreign investment. These incentives tend to be more generous further inland, enabling foreign investors to benefit from intense domestic competition. However, local governments must adhere to national regulations concerning tax incentives. Overstepping these limits can lead to revocation by the national government, though any such actions ideally wouldn't apply retroactively.
Key Insights
Central China's Henan Province is a prime example of attractive incentives. Here, manufacturing-focused Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs) can receive full waivers on business taxes and many local fees. FIEs involved in technology transfer and consulting can even obtain full refunds on business taxes already paid.
Henan Province's Regional Tax Incentives
- Production-Oriented FIEs: Complete waivers on local income tax and fees related to city development, water resources, and landscaping. Fees for site transactions are also waived.
- Tech-Focused Enterprises: Certain incomes can be exempt from corporate income tax with approval.
Incentives in Zhengzhou Municipality
Zhengzhou, a central Chinese city of about 4 million people, offers even more generous incentives:
- Reinvestment Tax Incentives: Local FIEs reinvesting profits receive a 30% refund on the locally retained portion of the Enterprise Income Tax, with the national government providing an even larger refund on its share.
- Investment in Key Industries: Gains a 50% refund on local Enterprise Income Tax for three years when investing in major industries. Incentives grow if the FIEs retain a specified percentage of original employees.
- Export Earnings Bonuses: Cash rewards of 0.2% to 0.5% for every dollar in foreign currency export earnings, especially for advanced tech exports.
- Matching Funds and Support: Provides matching funds for small to medium-sized exporting enterprises’ international marketing efforts if they are under provincial supervision.
- Antidumping Support: Offers assistance and subsidies for expenses related to antidumping responses, except where already covered by higher authorities.
- Loan Interest Subsidy: Subsidizes 70% of interest on loans secured by tax refund accounts. Offers a 50% subsidy if no such loan is taken.
- Export Incentives: Recognizes top export enterprises with financial awards, enhancing incentives for significant performance growth and compliance.
- Tax Rate Reductions: The standard national Enterprise Income Tax rate is 33%. However, in Zhengzhou, it's reduced to 24% for production-oriented FIEs. In designated development zones, it drops further to 15%.
These strategies bolster Zhengzhou and Henan Province's appeal to foreign investors, reinforcing China's position in the global market.
