Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In January 2009, China's public revenue reached $89.51 billion, a drop of $18.47 billion or 17.1% year over year. Revenue of the central government reached $43.28 billion, a drop of 28.4% year over year, and the revenue of local government reached $46.23 billion, a drop of 2.7% year over year, according to the monthly report published by the Ministry of Finance of China on February 16, 2009.

Tax revenues reached $82.32 billion, a drop of 16.7% year over year. This included the following catagories:

  • Domestic value-added tax down 2.8%;
  • Domestic consumption tax up 13.2%;
  • Business tax down 2.7%;
  • Enterprise income tax down 24.8%;
  • Individual income tax down 1.9%;
  • Import value-added tax and consumption tax down 19.1%;
  • Duty down 19.3%;
  • Securities exchange stamp tax down 95.7%;
  • Vehicle procurement tax down 21.2%.
In January 2009, the foreign-trade tax refund reached $9.26 billion, an increase of $1.85 billion or 25% compared with the same period of the previous year.

The rapid decline of public revenue in January 2009 is mainly attributable to: 1) reduced financial sources resulting from the current economic slowdown, and 2) the implementation of tax de-rating policy, including the lowering of stamp-tax rate as well as the increase of the export-tax refunding rate, the de-rating of individual income tax, a reform in value-added tax, and the reduction of vehicle procurement tax to 5% for smaller vehicles. In addition, the long holiday of the Chinese New Year resulted in the loss of five working days in January, which contributed a large portion to the drop of public revenue in the month, said the Ministry of Finance in its announcement.
