The yacht tax has been loosened
Although the yacht industry has not received a substantive response to the relevant tax adjustment proposal, it has aroused the attention of the government level. The adjustment of yacht tax is bound to be a complicated process. For example, starting from the scope of levy, the original length of motor boats greater than 8 meters and less than 90 meters, and the standards of sailing boats and motor boats are more specific and clear. As well as the standards of sailing boats and motor boats for more specific, clear classification, according to the implementation of different tax rates.
