The tax rate in the gaming industry is following that of Baijiu? Several gaming companies responded: This is not true news.

A responsible person from a top Guangdong gaming company clearly told reporters that the rumor is false. On February 3, there were rumors in the market that the financial industry and internet value-added services, due to their high profit margins and light tax burden, may become the next target for tax rate adjustments, similar to the liquor tax rate, which caused the stock prices of internet companies like Tencent to collectively decline. Prior to this, the three major mobile operators China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom simultaneously announced that they will implement the new value-added tax rate of 9%, up from the original 6%, in accordance with the regulations announced on January 1 regarding specific matters related to value-added tax collection.
