CIT incentives for other income:

Where a company's investment project enjoys CIT incentives because it meets location conditions, the incentivized income is the income from the production and business of the project in the incentivized area, excluding income not eligible for incentives under the CIT Law. Income not arising from the project's production and business in the incentivized area does not qualify for location-based CIT incentives.

Accordingly, income from the write-off of amounts payable to suppliers does not arise from the project's production and business in the incentivized area and does not qualify for location-based CIT incentives.

VAT policy:

A company exporting agricultural products that are unprocessed or only ordinarily pre-processed to a foreign enterprise, with a contract and customs declaration but without bank payment documents and other related documents, does not qualify for the 0% rate; it does not calculate output VAT but may not deduct input VAT.
