China has announced it will lower the export tax rebate rate for solar photovoltaic products and batteries from 13% to 9% starting December 1, 2024. It also eliminates export tax rebates for aluminum and copper. The announcement was jointly made by China’s Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration.
For solar, the rebate has been available since 2003. According to industry experts, the move to bring down the export tax rebate is aimed by the administration at checking overcapacity concerns because of which prices in the PV industry have dropped to record lows.
Some industry analysts, who spoke to pv magazine on condition of anonymity, said the tax rebate reduction is part of a longer-term strategy. With Chinese PV products dominating global markets, they said that the government might eventually phase out export tax rebates entirely.
A list of the 209 products is available here. Yicai Global says the export tax rebate system was introduced by the Chinese government in 1985 under which it refunds some of the indirect taxes paid by local manufacturers on the production and distribution of export goods. This enables them to enter overseas markets tax-free.
According to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA), Chinese solar PV export volume of $18.67 billion declined by 35.4% year-on-year (YoY), due to oversupply (see H1 2024 Chinese PV Export Volume Dropped By 35.4 Percent Annually, Says CPIA).
Companies may respond by increasing export prices to offset potential losses. “While the reduced export rebate rate will have minimal impact on production costs for Chinese PV manufacturers, it is likely to provide support for overseas prices, aiding in a potential recovery,” said research firm Shanghai Metals Market (SMM).
