China operates a multi-tiered Value Added Tax (VAT) framework featuring a 13% standard rate, with its cross-border rules freshly updated under the new VAT Law Implementation Rules that shifted the sourcing model strictly to the “place of consumption.” Non-resident digital and service providers cannot register for VAT directly, shifting the burden entirely onto the Chinese resident customer or local agent to withhold and account for the tax via a reverse charge mechanism. Additionally, compliance has expanded significantly under State Council Decree No. 810, which mandates that both domestic and overseas internet platform enterprises must regularly report identity and transaction data for local operators.

How-To Guides: China SaaS VAT

Paso: 1 Umbral

There is no de-minimis VAT registration threshold for foreign SaaS providers; VAT registration for non-resident businesses is generally not permitted — instead VAT is handled through a withholding mechanism by the Chinese purchaser when services are consumed in China. Local entities must register if they have a Chinese business presence.

Paso: 2 Registro de empresas

Foreign providers selling digital services into China typically do not register directly with China VAT; the Chinese customer or withholding agent deals with VAT obligations. Domestic entities register with the State Taxation Administration (STA) / National Tax Authority (国家税务总局) through the local tax bureau.

Paso: 3 Número TIN/IVA

Domestic entities receive a VAT Tax Identification Number (TIN) issued by the State Taxation Administration upon VAT registration. Non-residents do not receive a VAT number but may be represented by a domestic agent where mandated.

Paso: 1 Tasa Estándar

The sales tax rate is 6%–13% depending on service classification; modern and digital services typically attract the 6% rate (subject to specification).

Paso: 2 Fórmula de la Tasa

To calculate your tax amounts, please use the following formula:

 

Tax Amount = Net Price X VAT rate 

Paso: 3 Inversión del Sujeto Pasivo (B2B)

There is no traditional EU-style reverse charge for non-resident SaaS; instead, the Chinese purchaser withholds VAT on cross-border services consumed in China (serves like a reverse charge withholding).

Paso: 1 Ventas B2C

If digital services are consumed in China by private consumers, VAT may still be deemed consumed in China and trigger VAT withholding by the purchaser or platform intermediary; non-resident suppliers cannot register directly and typically price include VAT.

Paso: 2 Ventas B2B

Where a Chinese business customer buys SaaS consumed in China, the customer/withholding agent is responsible for withholding and remitting VAT; the supplier is not required to charge VAT.

Paso: 3 Requisitos de Facturación

Las facturas deben incluir:

 

– Supplier Name and Address (non-resident or domestic)
– Buyer Name and Chinese VAT TIN (if domestic)
– Service Description and Consumption Location
– Date and Sequential Invoice Number
– Currency and Amount
– VAT Rate and VAT Amount (shown if applicable)

Paso: 1 Intervalo de presentación

Domestic VAT taxpayers file returns monthly (general) or quarterly (small-scale). Withholding agents follow the same periods for remitting withheld VAT.

Paso: 2 Fecha límite de presentación

Filing deadline is typically 15 days after period end (monthly/quarterly), adjusted for official deadlines.

Paso: 3 Presentación

VAT returns and payments are submitted via the STA e-tax portal (电子税务局) and payments often by bank transfer. Withheld VAT by the purchaser is declared in their return.

Paso: 4 Mantenimiento de registros

Accounting records, invoices and VAT documents must be retained for at least 10 years under Chinese VAT compliance rules.
