By STAFF EDITOR

Foreign firms will be entitled to tax rebates on any disabled Chinese employees from 2008, China Today reported. The tax rebate will be capped at RMB35,000 per disabled person per year, and disabled employees will not have to pay income tax. Where disabled employees make up 25% or more of the total workforce, the company will get rebates on both income and value-added taxes. Those with less than 25% disabled employees will only get income tax rebates. Statistics show China has 83 million disabled people, 22.7 million of whom are employed and 8.6 million officially unemployed.

June 22,2007

By AMY CHEUNG

Tangshan Iron & Steel – China’s second largest publicly traded steel mill – said its profit for the first six month of this year might surge as much as 80% thanks to better production techniques, Economy Daily reported. The lower limit of its prediction was a 50% gain. The Hebei province-based steelmaker reported nearly RMB703 million in net profits last year, but profits reached RMB465 million in the first quarter of this year alone. Its share price has more than quadrupled since 2006. It is concentrating on increasing its output of higher value-added products, such as cold-roll steel sheets for autos and plates for ships. The industrial benchmark price for hot-roll coil averaged RMB4,248 per metric ton this year compared to RMB3,776 last year.
