CHINA VALUE ADDED TAX OF 6% ON AUGUST 1ST

Dear AWS Agent,

China has announced that a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 6% will be implemented nationwide on 1 August 2013. The VAT and associated taxes will be levied on top of the freight and surcharges payable at China effective August 1st. This is in accordance with  Circular 37 of Cai Shui [2013] on the “Tax Policy of VAT Pilot Program on Transportation & Modern Services Sector,” jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) of P.R. China on 24 May 2013.

The Value Added Tax (VAT) of 6% and any other supplementary taxes related to the VAT, will be applied for all the ocean freight and charges payable within the PRC. Ocean carriers defined as international transport agencies, will be taxed a VAT at the rate of 6% in accordance with the tax rate applicable to the logistics auxiliary industry. This VAT is collected from clients on behalf of the government and remitted to the government.

For all shipments to or from China after August 1st, you should confirm with your ocean carrier the VAT rate and endeavor to determine the amount of VAT due at the time of pick-up or delivery of your shipment.

Sincerely,

Ross Stemmler
President and COO
All World Shipping Corp. [email-masked]
