中国锂离子电池消费税政策即将发生重大调整。自2015年以来实施的免税政策将于2026年9月1日正式终结,取而代之的是阶梯式消费税征收制度1。根据新政策,2026年9月1日至12月31日期间按2%征收,自2027年1月1日起税率上调至4%1。法定缴纳方为电芯生产企业,但这项政策变化正在产业链上下游引发成本重新分摊的连锁反应1。
这一转变对产业各方的利润造成直接冲击。以一家储能电芯企业为例,其净利率仅为3.2%,而2%的消费税相当于该企业四成以上的利润1。面对税费压力,存量订单中消费税成本多由下游电池企业和整车企业自行消化,而新增订单则采取阶梯分摊模式,通常为五五分或六四分的分担比例1。同时,下游电池企业向上游材料供应商发起了集中降价诉求,要求供货价格下调1.5个百分点1。
为规避新增税费负担,产业链正在寻求替代方案。钠离子电池和固态电池等新技术获得了更长的免税窗口期,优惠政策延续至2028年12月31日1。部分客户已开始咨询和切换钠电方案以规避消费税1。此外,享受免税政策的企业需持有具备CMA资质机构出具的合规检测报告1。值得注意的是,出口产品可退还全部生产环节消费税,这为部分企业提供了另一条出路1。
China's decade-long exemption on lithium-ion battery consumption taxes ends on September 1, 2026, marking a significant shift in the country's battery industry economics 1. The tax will be collected in two tiers: 2% from September through December 2026, then rising to 4% from January 2027 onward 1. This policy reversal, which breaks from a tax-free regime that has been in place since 2015, is forcing battery manufacturers, automakers, and upstream material suppliers to renegotiate pricing and determine who ultimately bears the tax burden 1.
The financial impact varies sharply across the supply chain. At one energy storage battery cell manufacturer with a net profit margin of 3.2%, a 2% consumption tax would consume over 40% of profits 1. While battery cell producers are the designated taxpayers under law, the actual cost distribution remains contested 1. For existing orders, downstream battery and vehicle manufacturers are largely absorbing the tax independently, whereas new contracts are splitting costs through tiered arrangements—typically on a 50-50 or 60-40 basis 1. Simultaneously, downstream battery companies are pressuring upstream material suppliers to cut prices by approximately 1.5 percentage points 1.
The industry is also responding by exploring alternatives. Sodium-ion and solid-state batteries have been granted tax exemptions extending through December 31, 2028, prompting some customers to shift toward these technologies to avoid the new levies 1. To qualify for exemptions, manufacturers must provide compliance test reports from institutions holding CMA (China Metrology Accreditation) credentials 1. Additionally, exported products can claim full refunds of consumption taxes paid during production, offering a partial offset for internationally focused producers 1.
