Indirect Tax Services

Recent years have seen the implementation of the all-sector Value Added Tax (VAT) reforms, the legislation for the Environmental Protection Tax and the Resource Tax, and the release of the consultation paper on the draft VAT and Consumption Tax Laws. These new indirect tax policies have brought benefits and opportunities for businesses in China. In parallel, enterprises would face tremendous challenges for their daily tax management due to increasing complexity and a degree of uncertainty.
