Environmental protection tax
Description
Rolled out a nationwide environmental protection tax programme, which levies a tax on farms with more than 50 head of cattle, 500 head of pigs or 5 000 head of poultry. Each province is allowed to determine the tax rate to be levied, while farms with qualifying pollution control and rehabilitation measures will be exempt or receive a lower tax rate.
