6 FAQs about [Tax situation of solar power generation in China]
Does China have tax incentives for solar PV power generation?
The Chinese government has established tax incentives to foster investment in solar PV power generation. This study computes the tax expense based on the stipulations set forth in the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Implementation of the Enterprise Income Tax Law (revised in 2019) (PRC, 2019).
What are the tax implications of investing in solar PV power projects?
Tax expenditure The fiscal impact of investing in solar PV power projects primarily involves value-added tax (VAT) and corporate income taxes. The Chinese government has established tax incentives to foster investment in solar PV power generation.
What percentage of China's energy use is solar?
Solar power contributes to a small portion of China's total energy use, accounting for 3.5% of China's total energy capacity in 2020. Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the 2020 Climate Ambition Summit that China plans to have 1,200 GW of combined solar and wind energy capacity by 2030.
Why are solar energy projects being halted in China?
The government incentives have also contributed to the curtailment of solar energy, as many of the solar projects have been built in northern and western regions of China where there is a low demand for electricity and a lack of infrastructure to transfer energy towards China's main power grid.
Why are Chinese government subsidies for solar power a problem?
Government subsidies for solar power have also been attributed to over construction, as many solar power projects have been funded by the Chinese government but do not operate at full capacity due to the inability to transfer the full energy capacity from production sites.
Is the feed-in tariff subsidy affecting China's solar PV production capacity?
The feed-in tariff (FIT) subsidy policy has been instrumental in fostering the expansion of PV power generation. Despite the growth in China’s solar PV production capacity, the financial gap caused by the FIT subsidy within the new energy subsidy policy presents a significant challenge (Yan et al., 2019).
