In practice, it is difficult to accurately calculate the added value or additional value of commodities in the process of production and circulation. Therefore, China also adopts the method of tax deduction, which is a widely used method in the world.
That is, according to the sales of goods or services, the sales tax is calculated at the prescribed tax rate, and then the value-added tax paid when obtaining goods or services is deducted, that is, the input tax, and the difference is the taxable amount of the value-added part. This calculation method embodies the principle of taxation according to value-added factors.
The collection of value-added tax usually includes all links in the production, circulation or consumption process. It is a neutral tax based on value-added or price difference. Theoretically, it includes all agricultural industries (planting, forestry and animal husbandry), mining, manufacturing, construction, transportation and commercial services. Or all links of raw material procurement, manufacturing, wholesale, retail and consumption.
