China will cancel value-added tax export rebates for photovoltaic products starting April 1, 2026. The announcement was made in a statement issued by the China Ministry of Finance. VAT export rebates for battery products will be reduced to 6% from 9% between April and December 2026. The rebates will be removed entirely from January 1, 2027. The ministry stated that consumption tax rebate rules for these products will remain unchanged. The adjustment followed earlier revisions to China’s export rebate framework and applied to a defined list of solar and battery products. China reduced export tax rebates for photovoltaic products to 9% from 13% in December 2024 amid efforts to address overcapacity, pricing pressure, and trade conditions.
