The State Administration of Taxation Makes A Big Move! Domestic Medical Equipment Purchase , Tax Rebate!

Prior to this, the State Administration of Taxation issued the measures for the Administration of value-added tax rebate for the purchase of domestic equipment by R & D institutions, which proposes that all qualified R & D institutions that purchase domestic equipment will be fully refunded to VAT.

There is no doubt that the purchase of domestic equipment “tax rebate” will directly drive the procurement rate of related equipment to a certain extent. According to the notice on continuing to implement the value-added tax policy for equipment purchased by R & D institutions issued by the State Council and the Ministry of Finance, among all duty-free domestic equipment, there are many domestic medical device products, which can also be fully refunded.

Imported products are prohibited from purchase without permission!

Recently, in the Notice on Regulating Issues Concerning Government Procurement of Imported Products by Public Medical Institutions, Anhui Province directly requests that the procurement of imported products not be carried out without approval; Under the condition that domestic production can meet the needs of government procurement, government procurement should purchase local medical equipment and products.

In addition to Anhui, the 2022-2023 Centralized Procurement Catalog and Procurement Limit Standards recently released by Shanxi Province, the newly added government procurement projects include “public hospital Class B large medical equipment projects”, the document once again emphasizes that government procurement should be purchased according to law domestic goods.

In recent years, with the support of national policies, many domestic equipment and enterprises have gradually stepped on the right track, and the situation of “no need for non- import and no need for non- import” in the early years has disappeared. Domestic equipment has overtaken in corners in some subdivided fields, reaching a milestone process of replacing imported equipment.

Encouraging and standardizing the procurement of domestic equipment and instruments is not only an act to promote independent innovation of domestic brands, but also avoid being “stuck” in key technologies.
