Investment Incentives. The discussion on investment incentives involves issues that are both technically complex and politically sensitive. Most countries today actively promote foreign direct investment and the use of various forms of incentives has increased considerably. Consequently, governments often find themselves engaged in costly competition with others over particular investments. The Expert Group discussions contained both pragmatic and ambitious views. The pragmatists, who constitute the majority, argue that companies should be able to continue to benefit from incentives and that the MAI should not interfere with how governments seek to promote investment beyond the limitations imposed by MAI rules on non-discrimination. Those who express a more ambitious view, however, would like to see disciplines that restrict even further investment incentives; this would include a prohibition on the "positive discrimination" of foreigners. Against this background it may -- regrettably for some -- be difficult to develop far-reaching new disciplines on investment incentives within the time frame of the MAI negotiations. However, the experts agree in principle that the rules on national and most favoured nation treatment should be applied to incentives. This would certainly mean that a considerable level of discipline be introduced, even if it is recognised that the application of these rules to incentives for "one off-investments" might cause some difficulties. In order to give more time for analysis and possible elaboration of new rules, the suggestion that MAI should mandate further work on investment incentives after the entry into force of the agreement has gained a fair amount of support in the Expert Group.

Investment Incentives. The importance of the issue of incentives as a distortion of investment has increased markedly in the last few years. Investment incentives are government policies designed to attract companies to invest. Investment incentives fall into three types: (1) tax incentives: tax holidays, export tax reductions, exemptions from import duties; (2) other financial incentives: grants for investment, loan guarantees; and (3) non-financial incentives: provision of infrastructure, pre-built factory premises, business services. The OECD member states failed to reach an agreement on this provision. The text says, “Several delegations believe that no additional text is necessary.”20 “Many delegations, however, would favor specific provisions on incentives in the MAI although they hold different views as to their nature and scope.”21 p. 46.‌ 19 As note 18, above, p. 20-21. 20 OECD, The MAI Negotiating Text (as of 24 April 1998) – Chapter III, Investment Incentives, 21 As note 20, above, p. 46.

Investment Incentives. China’s investment incentives have focused on fiscal measures that are designed to reduce the tax burdens of foreign investors, which include tax holidays, concessional rates, and exemptions from import and/or export duties. In addition to tax incentives, the SEZs, some cities and provinces also offer preferential land-use fees to foreign investors. At present, there are 13 types of taxes applicable to FIEs and foreign individuals in China. They are value-added tax (VAT), consumption tax, business tax, foreign enterprise income tax, personal income tax, resource tax, land value-added tax, stamp tax, tax on urban real estate, tax on the use of automobile and ship plates, xxxxxxxxx tax, contract tax and construction fees for cultural undertakings. In 1991, China promulgated the Income Tax Law for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises, as well as its implementing rules. But after the tax reform in 1994, except for enterprise income tax and some local taxes, FIEs and foreign nationals were entitled by the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Managing Xxxx and Collection of Taxes to the same treatment as Chinese enterprises and nationals with all taxes.
