What QuoteBill's data says about VAT in China
The rate is shown as it was recorded in QuoteBill's data on 2026-09-17. That is not a statement that it is the rate in force today.
China's VAT law sets several rates by type of supply. 13% is the general-taxpayer standard rate for goods, processing and repair services and the leasing of movable property; other supplies, such as transport and construction, are taxed at 9%.

A worked example
Starting from a net amount of CNY 1,234.00 at 13%: VAT comes to CNY 160.42 and the gross amount to CNY 1,394.42.
Starting from the gross amount of CNY 1,394.42 at 13%: the net amount is CNY 1,234.00 and the VAT is CNY 160.42.
How the result is worked out
From a net amount: tax = net × rate, rounded half up to the smallest unit of the currency (CNY: 2 decimal places). From a gross amount: tax = gross × rate ÷ (100% + rate) and net = gross − tax, so net and tax always add up to the gross amount.
A withholding or other deduction is worked out on the net amount, or on the amount with tax if you choose that, and taken from the gross amount to give the amount payable. You type its rate yourself; nothing is filled in.
Before you rely on it
