Abstract EN:

To promote the foreign capital, china has taken much legislative action concerning its fiscality. The fiscal system in effect since nineteen hundred eighty has encouraged foreign investment in china. At the same time, such investment has accelerated the modernisation of the chinese fiscal system. The main feature of the system since nineteen hundred eighty is the double fiscality. In this system, companies with foreign investment benefit from a better treatment, fiscally speaking. The legal status of taxpayers is rather complicated in china. The different types of companies with foreign investment, whose statutes are clearly defined by chinese law, reveive better legal guarantees and their fiscal obligations are more reasenable and do not fluctuate. Such fiscal advantages for foreign investors concern the income tax on company earnings, on individual earnings and on indirect taxes. This is accomplished in three ways : via the tax rates, special exemptions or reductions in taxes and detaxation. What can be observed also in china is that fiscal advantages are often greater in certain regions or in certain sectors of the economy. The chinese fiscal system is undergoing a modernisation process that aims at unifying its diverse aspects, at streamlining the fiscal administration as well as integrating the chinese system into the framework of international economic law. By adapting to the foreign investment, the chineses fiscal system has progressed in the last fifteen years. It is gradually approaching international practice and the principles of a market economy. This fiscal system has done much to promote foreign investment and will continue to do so in the future. Modernizing the fiscal system while implementing the necessary legislation is an in-going process within china today.
