CHINA PRESS: The State Council has decided to improve its export tax rebate

policies to reduce the burden for enterprises and to maintain steady growth of

foreign trade, the official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday. 

  - Goods that have a current export tax refund rate between 15% and 13%, will

now be refunded by 16%, Xinhua said;

  - Those with 9% refund rates will now see 10% or even 13% in refunds, while

goods with 5% refund rates will be refunded by up to 6% or some 10%, Xinhua

said; 

  - However, products with high energy consumption, high pollution, or resource

products, as well as those in the list for cutting overcapacity, will see no

changes in their export tax rebate rates, Xinhua noted.
