After the VAT rate fell to 16% on May 1 last year, the drop of 3 percentage points this time is a major positive for the coal industry.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Value-added tax is the “big head” of the tax burden of coal enterprises. According to a survey conducted by the CHINA NATIONAL COAL ASSOCIATION (CNCA) in 2015, the value-added tax accounted for more than 50% of the tax burden of coal enterprises.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">According to a survey conducted by the CHINA NATIONAL COAL ASSOCIATION (CNCA) in 2015, at the time of the tax rate of 17%, the actual tax burden of the value-added tax in the coal industry was around 12%, more than double the national average.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">On March 28 last year, the State Council executive meeting decided to reduce the VAT of manufacturing and other industries from 17% to 16% from May 1, and the coal industry is also among them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">A large and old state-owned coal enterprise in the Northeast of china has calculated that, after the VAT is reduced, this company&#39;s the taxable business of the 2018 year can be reduced by 400 million yuan.</span></p><p><br/></p>
