INTERIM PROVISIONS OF THE STATE COUNCIL OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC
OF CHINA ON PREFERENCES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PORTS AND PIERS WITH
CHINESE AND FOREIGN JOINT INVESTMENT
(Promulgated on September 30, 1985)
Article 1
These Provisions are formulated with a view to expanding economic
cooperation and technological exchange with foreign countries, speeding up
the construction of ports and piers, and meeting the needs of the
socialist modernization programme.
Article 2
All the laws, regulations, provisions, and rules governing Chinese-foreign
equity joint ventures shall apply to joint ventures running port and pier
construction projects (hereinafter called joint ventures) established
within the boundaries of the People's Republic of China by foreign
companies or enterprises, or individual investors (hereinafter called
foreign joint ventures) on the one hand and Chinese companies or
enterprises on the other, and preferential treatment shall, in accordance
with these Provisions, be granted to them out of consideration for their
huge investment amount, long construction cycle, and narrow profit margin.
Article 3
A joint venture may have a comparatively long contract period, which can
be as long as over 30 years. The specific period shall be fixed by the
parties to the joint venture through consultation. A joint venture may
extend the contract period at the expiration of the contract provided that
the extension is agreed upon by the parties concerned and approved by the
Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade of the People's Republic
of China or an agency authorized by it.
Article 4
A joint venture may recover its investment by accelerated depreciation of
its fixed assets provided that its application for the adoption of
accelerated depreciation procedure is examined by the local tax
authorities and subsequently submitted to and approved by the Ministry of
Finance of the People's Republic of China.
Article 5
Raw materials, loading and unloading equipment, means of transport, and
other production facilities essential for pier construction that are
imported by a joint venture with funds drawn from its gross investment
shall be exempted from customs duties and industrial and commercial
consolidated taxes.
Article 6
A joint venture shall pay income tax at a rate of 15 percent. Newly
founded joint ventures with a contract period of over 15 years shall be
exempted from income tax for the first five years as from the first
profit-making year, and shall pay an income tax at half of the normal rate
for the subsequent five years, provided their applications for exemption
and reduction of tax are approved by the tax authorities of the provinces,
autonomous regions, or municipalities directly under the Central
Government where they are located. If a joint venture still finds it
difficult to pay the full income tax after the tax exemption or reduction
period prescribed above expires, it may have its tax exemption and
reduction period appropriately extended with the approval of the Ministry
of Finance of the People's Republic of China.
Exemption and reduction of the local income tax levied on a joint venture
shall be decided by the people's governments of the provinces, autonomous
regions, or municipalities directly under the Central Government where the
joint venture is located.
Article 7
Profits earned by the foreign joint venturer in a joint venture shall be
exempted from income tax when they are remitted out of China.
Article 8
The rates of charge on cargo handling and other charges on use of
facilities at a pier built by a joint venture may be fixed by the joint
venture, but shall be filed with the authorities in charge of the venture
and the local pricing authorities for the record.
Article 9
When the foreign joint venturer of a joint venture reinvests its share of
profit from the joint venture in building new berths or piers, 40 percent
of the income tax paid on the reinvested portion of its profit share shall
be refunded, provided that the new contract period is not shorter than 5
years and the foreign joint venturer's application for refund of tax
payment is approved by the tax authorities.
Article 10
When a joint venture is permitted to run concurrently some other projects
requiring smaller amounts of investment, a shorter construction cycle, and
allowing a wider profit margin, the related matters shall be dealt with in
accordance with the relevant provisions in force.
Article 11
Matters relating to port and pier construction by joint ventures with
investment of companies, enterprises, or individuals from Hong Kong and
Macao regions shall be dealt with by applying mutatis mutandis these
Provisions.
Article 12
These Provisions shall come into force as of the date of promulgation.
