    Article 4  Calculation of payable FAID regulating tax shall be based on
actually realized amount of investment in a fixed assets investment project
and in case of replacements and technical innovation projects the
calculation shall be based on actually realized amount of investment in
construction project.

    Article 5  FAID regulating tax upon a fixed assets investment project
shall be paid in a year's advance based on annual investment budget for
each project unit. At the end of the year, tax accounts shall be squared on
the basis of actually realized investment amount with excessive payment of
tax refunded or tax due repaid. Upon completion of the whole project, the
tax accounts shall be cleared on the basis of actually realized total
investment amount with excessive payment of tax refunded or tax due repaid.

    Any taxpayer who really has difficulty in fully paying in advance tax upon
the whole year's budgeted investment may, subject to examination and
approval of the tax authority, pay by installments the total amount by the end
of September of the very year.

    Article 6  When a taxpayer applies for approval of a fixed assets
investment project the taxpayer shall make sure that payment for FAID
regulating tax has been effectively arranged for. FAID regulating tax shall
be included in total investment budget and covered by economic and financial
assessment of the project. But tax payment may not be taken into account
when payment for design, construction or other fees are charged.

    Article 7  FAID regulating tax may not be reduced or exempted except
otherwise prescribed by the State Council.

    Article 8  FAID regulating tax shall be collected and administered by the
tax authority. Taxpayers shall go through procedures of tax
registration, tax authentication and tax declaration with the tax bureau of
the locality where the project is sited.

    Article 9  Collection of FAID regulating tax shall be brought under a
source control mechanism that combines planned unified management with
an investment license system as is detailed in the following:

    (1) Planning commissions or planning and economic commissions of
different provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities under the direct
leadership of the Central Government and of separate-planning municipalities
shall get together written project programmes on fixed assets investments
in respective locality and transmit to lower levels taxable items, tax rates
and tax amount to be applied to different fixed assets investment projects
subject to examination and decision of the tax authority at the same level.

    (2) Taxpayers shall go to the tax bureau of the locality where the
project is sited to go through procedures of tax registration and declaration
etc. before they begin injecting annual investment. Banks and other financial
institutions shall transfer the amount of tax upon presentation of the special
tax payment notice paper issued by the tax authority.

    (3) Planning commissions or planning and economic commissions shall issue
the investment permit upon presentation of the receipt of tax payment. Banks
and other financial institutions shall proceed with allotment of funds or
loans to fixed assets investment projects upon presentation of the investment
permit.

    Article 10  Payment for FAID regulating tax shall be withheld and
transferred by the Chinese People's Construction Bank, the China Industrial
and Commercial Bank, the China Agricultural Bank, the Bank of China, the
Transportation Bank and other financial institutions or relevant units.

    Article 11  For fixed assets investment projects beyond planning, the
taxpayers may, in addition to payment of tax at applicable tax rates, be
imposed on by the tax authority a fine as much as less than five times amount
of tax that should be paid. But fixed assets investments beyond planning that
are listed within the category of 0% tax rate shall be handled by relevant
planning departments according to correspondent stipulations.

    Investments in capital construction conducted under the pretext of
replacements and renovations projects shall be imposed upon double amount of
tax payable according to taxable items and tax rates applied to capital
construction investments. But capital construction investments that are listed
within the category of 0% tax rate shall be handled by relevant planning
departments according to corresponding stipulations.

    Article 12  In case a taxpayer fails to pay tax according to the present
Provisions, planning commissions or planning and economic commissions shall
cancel establishment of the project if it is at preparatory stage, or shall
withhold arrangement for construction of the project if it has just been
ready for construction, or shall cancel the annual investment budget if it
is at the stage of continued construction and, additionally, shall revoke
the investment permit. Banks and other financial institutions shall
withhold from loaning or allotting funds to such project.

    In case planning departments or banks violate the present Provisions to
the consequence of tax evasion, relevant authorities at higher level shall
investigate into responsibilities of concerned offenders.

regulating tax shall be handled according to stipulations of the Interim

state regulations, fall beyond planned management, shall be decided by
people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities
under the direct leadership of the Central Government.

    Article 16  Fixed assets investment permits shall be issued and managed
in a unified manner by planning departments. Rules on permit management
