The tax gap is now closed up between domestic and foreign investors.

On October 22 2010, the State Council issued a notice that repealed the tax exemption of two surtaxes on foreign-invested companies. Beginning December 1 2010, they will have to pay the urban maintenance and construction tax (UMCT) and the extra charges of education funds tax (EFT).
