▍1. What is the policy basis for the 9% agricultural product deduction?

According to the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration on Policies Concerning the Simplification and Merger of VAT Rates (Caishui [2017] No. 37) and subsequent provisions, where a taxpayer purchases agricultural products and obtains a special VAT invoice issued by a general taxpayer or a customs import VAT special payment certificate, the input VAT shall be the VAT amount stated on the face of the document; where an agricultural product purchase invoice or sales invoice is obtained (issued), the input VAT shall be calculated based on the agricultural product purchase price and a deduction rate of 9%. If used for producing goods subject to a 13% tax rate, an additional 1% deduction may be applied. Therefore, "purchase price × 9%" is the core formula, but the premise is that the voucher must be genuine and compliant.

▍III. How to account for the 9% deduction? Key points for entries and filing

The entry is as follows: Debit: Raw materials (or inventory goods) 91,000, Taxes payable - VAT payable (input tax amount) 9,000, Credit: Bank deposits (or accounts payable) 100,000. When filing, the amount and tax amount need to be filled in Column 6 "Agricultural product purchase invoice or sales invoice" of Annex (II) to the VAT tax return. Note that if used for deep processing, the 1% portion also needs to be reported in the additional deduction column.
