A national tax work conference was held in Beijing on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, as reported by the China News Service.

Data released at the conference shows that in 2025, China's tax authorities collected a total of 33.1 trillion yuan in taxes and fees, of which tax revenue amounted to 17.8 trillion yuan (before deducting export tax rebates), representing a year-on-year increase of 2.7%.

The conference reported that in 2025, Chinese tax authorities implemented tax cuts, fee reductions, and rebates exceeding 2.8 trillion yuan through major preferential policies supporting technological innovation and manufacturing development. These measures also helped companies eliminate over 3 billion yuan in international double taxation. Enhanced supervision in key areas, such as refined oil products, export tax rebates, and high-profile online influencers and celebrities, has achieved notable results. The enforcement against tax-related crimes and violations has been strengthened, leading to a significant improvement in taxpayers' compliance. Furthermore, the "Silver-Tax Interaction" initiative facilitated credit loans of nearly 3 trillion yuan for creditworthy small and micro businesses.

In 2026, China's tax authorities will focus on guiding compliance, continuously building a market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized tax business environment. Efforts will be made to standardize nationwide tax administrative penalty discretion benchmarks in a categorized and step-by-step manner, further regulating tax enforcement practices. The construction of the Belt and Road Initiative tax administration cooperation mechanism will be strengthened, and mechanisms for cross-border tax-related communication and dispute resolution will be refined.
