06.18 | [Conference] New VAT Law 2026: From compliance to operational readiness

Event Introduction

On January 1, 2026, the simultaneous implementation of the PRC Value-Added Tax Law and its Implementing Regulations marks a historic new phase in China's tax governance. The "provisional" logic that governed VAT for over three decades has been fundamentally overturned. With the full deepening of "data-based tax administration" under Golden Tax System Phase IV, tax authorities have upgraded their supervisory capabilities from "controlling invoices" to "controlling transactions, controlling data, and controlling credit."

During this transitional period under the new VAT law, enterprises face multiple practical challenges. If enterprises can not promptly clarify the substantive and procedural requirements of the new law and establish a dual-control system covering "substantive compliance + procedural coordination”, they risk leading to severe consequences such as tax arrears, penalties, and damaged credit ratings.

This conference will help to understand the core changes under new VAT law, clarify the controversies and risk points in practical operations, demonstrate the compliance process establishment in order to enhance risk management capabilities in complex transaction and inspection environments.
