Tax Challenges

Chronic VAT Overpayment

Raw material and machinery capex purchases at the beginning cause Input VAT > Output VAT, resulting in overpayment that must be refunded.

Long Refund Process

VAT refund applications require examination that can take 6-12 months, disrupting cash flow.

Article 22 Income Tax Cannot Be Directly Credited

Article 22 Income Tax collected during raw material purchases becomes tax credit at year-end, not direct deduction.
