Example 1:

In the 2015 tax period, enterprise A is granted an investment registration certificate for implementing a new investment project to manufacture supporting industry products. In the 2016 tax period, the project has turnover from the manufacture of supporting industry products. In the 2017 tax period, the project gets an incentive certificate for manufacture of supporting industry products. In the 2018 tax period, the project has income from the manufacture of supporting industry products. The times of starting the calculation of enterprise income tax incentives for this project are as follows: 2017 is the first year of application of preferential tax rates, and 2018 is the first year of tax exemption if the project actually satisfies the law-prescribed conditions for enjoyment of incentives.

Example 2:

In the 2016 tax period, enterprise B is granted an investment registration certificate for implementing a new investment project to manufacture supporting industry products. In the 2017 tax period, the project has turnover from the manufacture of supporting industry products. In the 2018 tax period, the project has income from the manufacture of supporting industry products. In the 2019 tax period, the project gets an incentive certificate for manufacture of supporting industry products. The time of starting the calculation of enterprise income tax incentives for this project is as follows: 2019 is the first year of application of preferential tax rates and also the first year of tax exemption if the project actually satisfies the law-prescribed conditions for enjoyment of incentives.

While enjoying enterprise income tax incentives, if an enterprise conducts different production and business activities, it shall separately determine income from the project to manufacture supporting industry products prioritized for development in order to enjoy enterprise income tax incentives under regulations.

Article 5. Effect
