Land value-added tax case: land premium refund should be reduced by the premium paid for the acquisition of land use rights
In practice, some local governments, in order to attract investment, grant the land use right through auction and listing in accordance with the law, and then return the land grant payment in the form of support, incentives, subsidies, etc. However, due to the huge amount of land grant payment, whether to offset the land price has a significant impact on the capital cost of enterprises. However, due to the huge amount of land rebate, whether or not to offset the land price in the land value-added tax settlement has a significant impact on the capital cost of enterprises. At present, the national level has not yet clarified the land value-added tax treatment of land rebates, but some localities have made provisions for the deduction of land rebates from the corresponding land costs. Enterprises that do not deduct the land value from the rebates and include the full amount of the land premiums paid in the land costs are exposed to the risk of recovering the land value-added tax.Nov. 19, 2023, 1:06 a.m.
