The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is very pleased to invite you to the Breakfast Seminar of the Finance and Taxation Working Group which will be held on Friday 29th of June 2007, 8.30 at Swiss Hotel, Beijing.

This seminar will address:

New Revision of the Export VAT Refund Rates Structure from 1st July

With the goal of reducing its trade surplus and increasing environmental protection, China announced last week a major change in the Export VAT Refund Rates structure.

The new structure affects over 2831 types of commodities that represent 38% of China's export value. This change has a significant impact on exporters whose products fall within the category of 'high-energy consuming, high polluting and/or involve low-tech and low value-adding manufacturing processes'.

As a result, this change will also affect the supply chain costs of many companies creating both new opportunities and challenges for all involved.

To understand more about this process and its impact, the EUCCC invites you to a Breakfast Seminar on the 29th of June 2007.
