The new catalogue of industries encouraged for foreign investment was released involving a number of petroleum and chemical projects

In order to encourage and guide foreign investors to invest in specific industries, fields and regions, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce recently issued the Catalogue of Industries Encouraged for Foreign Investment (2022 Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the "Encouraged Catalogue"
).
The Encouragement Catalogue will come into force on 1 January 2023 and will cover a number of petroleum and chemical projects
.

It is understood that the new version of the "Encouragement Catalogue" continues the structure of the 2020 edition, including two parts: first, the national catalogue of industries that encourage foreign investment, which applies to the whole country; The second is the catalogue of advantageous industries for foreign investment in the central and western regions, which is applicable to the central and western regions, the northeast region and Hainan Province
.

The Encouragement Catalogue covers mining, manufacturing and electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply, with a number of petroleum and chemical projects
.

For example, foreign investment in the mining industry is encouraged to include the exploration, development and utilization of oil and natural gas (including shale gas and coalbed methane); Enhanced oil recovery (in the form of engineering services) and development and application of related new technologies; Development and application of new technologies for oil exploration and development such as geophysical exploration, drilling, logging, logging, and downhole operations; Exploration, mining and beneficiation of minerals in short supply in China (such as potash, chromite, etc
.
).

Manufacturing includes petroleum processing, coking and nuclear fuel processing; chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing; chemical fiber manufacturing, etc
.
Among them, the chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry involves the development and production of new downstream products of silicones; Supporting raw materials for synthetic materials: propylene peroxide propylene oxide method, chloropropylene hydroxide propylene peroxide method epichlorohydrin, dimethyl naphthalate (NDC), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), 50,000 tons/year and above butadiene adiponitrile, hexanediamine, norbornene production; Production of synthetic rubber, production of engineering plastics and plastic alloys, fine chemicals, etc
.

As an important foreign investment promotion policy in China, the Encouragement Catalogue has played an important role
in supporting the development of foreign investment, guiding the investment direction of foreign asset industries, and optimizing the regional layout of foreign investment 。 Foreign investors in the industries and fields in the Encouraged Catalogue can mainly enjoy three preferential policies: first, the import of equipment for self-use within the total amount of investment, except for products that are not exempt from tax exemption stipulated by the state, are exempted from customs duties; Second, priority is given to the supply of land for encouraged industrial projects for intensive land, and the reserve price can be determined at no less than 70% of the minimum price standard for industrial land transfer in the country corresponding to the location; Third, investment in the western region and Hainan Province can also be further reduced to pay enterprise income tax
at a rate of 15%.
