The third batch of national subsidies for Taobao has started subsidy applications, with smart lights, study desks and chairs, and learning machines being included in the subsidies for the first time.

The third batch of funds for the national trade-in program has been issued. Starting from August 26, Taobao and Tmall are the first to launch the program. Currently, consumers in many provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, can enter the national subsidy zone through the Taobao app homepage or by searching for "national subsidy" to receive relevant subsidies. It is reported that the scope of the national subsidy has been expanded this year, and with the back-to-school season approaching, smart lights, study desks and chairs, and learning devices are included in the trade-in subsidy program for the first time, with a maximum subsidy of 20%. At the same time, 3C digital products such as mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches/wristbands with a unit price of less than 6000 yuan can enjoy a 15% subsidy, with a maximum reduction of 500 yuan. From August 25 to 31, students can also enjoy additional education discounts on Tmall, with double subsidies up to a maximum of 4000 yuan, making the overall discount as low as 50%, which is comparable to the 618 promotion.
