2026 Beijing Small and Micro Enterprises Income Tax Preferential Rules! 3% Tax Rate Threshold Reduced Again, These 4 Types of Enterprises Can "Enjoy Without Applying"
Published: 2026-01-29

On January 1, 2026, the Beijing Municipal Taxation Bureau and the Municipal Finance Bureau jointly issued the Notice on the Implementation of Preferential Policies on Income Tax for Small and Micro-profit Enterprises (Beijing Cai Shui [2026] No. 3), which refined and upgraded the core policy of small and micro enterprises to "reduce the amount of taxable income by 251 TP3T, and to pay the enterprise income tax at a tax rate of 201 TP3T". The policy was refined and upgraded. This is another precise tax reduction initiative for small and micro enterprises in Beijing following the expansion of the "Six Taxes and Two Fees" in 2023 - the "Six Taxes and Two Fees".The effective tax burden for some companies can be as low as 3%The list of "senseless processing" is clear for the first time.
Recently, Beijing Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai and other districts have 2000+ small and micro enterprises received the "Policy Adaptation Reminder" from the Tax Bureau, but a lot of entrepreneurs are still puzzled: how to calculate the "threshold" of the new rules in the end? What kind of enterprises can "enjoy the policy without application"? How does it apply to micro and small enterprises operating across districts?


I. 2026 Beijing Small and Micro Enterprises Income Tax Benefits Core Rules

01 Policy definitions: Beijing standards for "small" and "micro"

According to Beijing Cai Shui [2026] No. 3, small and micro-profit enterprises in Beijing need to meet four conditions at the same time (which is more in line with the actual local industry than the national standard):Industry restrictions: All industries except real estate, finance, and entertainment (continuation of 2023 Negative List);Annual taxable income: ≤ 3 million yuan (consistent with the whole country, but Beijing has added "quarterly prepayment can be temporarily judged by the cumulative value");Number of practitioners: ≤ 300 people (including labor dispatchers, who need to be in line with the social security payment unit);Total assets: ≤ 50 million yuan (based on the quarterly average for the year, formula: (beginning of the quarter + end of the quarter)/2 x 4).

Note: Starting from 2026, Beijing will additionally liberalize the "Science and Technology-based Small and Micro Enterprises" (which need to pass the "Beijing Science and Technology-based Small and Medium Enterprises Evaluation") by raising the upper limit of taxable income to 3.5 million RMB and the upper limit of the number of employees to 350 persons.

02 Offer Strength: How is the 3% tax liability realized?

Policy Calculation Formula:Taxable = Taxable income x 25% x 20% = Taxable income x 5%(i.e., effective tax burden of 5%). However, for the portion of annual taxable income ≤ 1 million yuan, Beijing superimposed "local retained earnings rebate":

  • Portion up to $1 million: effective tax liability = 51 TP3T - (local retention 401 TP3T x 501 TP3T) =3%.;
  • 1M-3M portion: maintain 5% tax liability.
  • Example: A Haidian District software research and development small and micro enterprises in 2025 taxable income of 800,000 yuan, the number of employees 25 people, total assets of 4 million yuan.
  • Taxable amount = $800,000 x 3% =$24,000($176,000 in tax savings over the original 25% rate).

03 Status quo pain points: why should Beijing companies focus on them?

Beijing's small and micro-enterprises accounted for the city's total number of enterprises 92%, but research shows that 60% enterprises due to "miscalculation of indicators" "incomplete materials" did not fully enjoy the benefits:Myth #1:Treat "quarterly average" as "year-end" (e.g., if there are 30 people in Q1 and 20 in Q2, the average should be 25, not 20 at year-end);Myth #2:Ignore the fact that "labor dispatchers" need to be included in the number of employees (a catering company's eligibility for a discount was reduced because it did not count part-time cooks);Myth #3:Enterprises operating across districts (e.g., registered in Tongzhou and with offices in Haidian) have not filed with the operating local tax bureaus, resulting in data matching failures.

II. Compliance path: 4 steps to ensure "entitlement"

Under the regulatory trend of "full-volume data matching" (Beijing tax bureau has docked with the municipal supervision, human resources and provident fund systems), enterprises need to shift from "passive waiting" to "active compliance". Combined with the practical guidelines of tax bureaus in different districts of Beijing, there are 4 key points to do well:

01 Indicator "dynamic calibration": don't wait for remittance to panic

Login to "Beijing e-Tax Bureau - Small and Micro Enterprises Monitoring Module" every month to check the warning values of "number of employees" and "total assets" in real time (the system will prompt whether or not the standard is exceeded according to the data of the previous three months). (The system will indicate whether the number of employees exceeds the standard according to the data of the previous 3 months); labor dispatch agreement should note "nature of employment" and check the box of "labor dispatch" when declaring personal tax to avoid omission of the number of people.

02 List of "No Application, No Benefit": These 4 types of enterprises do not need to run to the lobby

The first companies to be included in Beijing 2026's "automatic identification" include:

  • Small and micro enterprises in high-tech enterprises (have obtained GR2025 beginning certificate)
  • Small and micro-enterprises of science and technology type in the Zhongguancun Demonstration Zone (the annual report must be completed on the Zhongguancun Enterprise Service Platform).
  • Small and medium-sized enterprises in commerce and distribution with a tax credit rating of Grade A / Grade B
  • Manufacturing MSMEs that have enjoyed preferential treatment for three consecutive years without tax penalties
  • For qualified enterprises, the IRD will push the "Preferential Confirmation Letter" via SMS, and there is no need to submit any documents.

03 Enterprises operating across the region: "triple filing" to prevent disconnection

  • Beijing enterprises whose place of registration is separated from their place of business (e.g., registered in Daxing, warehouse in Shunyi) are required to synchronize the completion of the two tax bureaus at the two locations
  • Place of registration: submission of the Report Form on Cross-Regional Tax-Related Matters (valid for a maximum of 180 days)
  • Place of business: monthly submission of the "Collection of Tax-Related Information on the Place of Business".
  • Headquarter: when filing the summary declaration, the data of branch offices will be incorporated into the calculation of "number of employees" and "total assets".

04 Critical point "risk prevention and control": how much more to pay on a $3.01 million profit?

If the taxable income happens to be stuck at $3.01 million ($10,000 over), the tax liability will jump from $510,000TP3T ($3 million x $510,000TP3T = $150,000) to $250,000TP3T ($3.01 million x $250,000TP3T = $752,500), a whopping $602,500 difference.It is recommended that enterprises plan ahead through policies such as "additional deduction for R&D expenses" (100% for small and micro enterprises in Beijing) and "one-time deduction for fixed assets".The

III. Case Review of a Cultural and Creative Enterprise in Beijing

A small illustration studio in Chaoyang District, Beijing (established in 2023), specializing in customized children's picture books, with revenues of 2.8 million yuan and costs of 2.2 million yuan in 2025 (of which 300,000 yuan was spent on R&D of drawing software)
Pre-corrective risk:

  1. Mistakenly excluded "temporary part-time painters" (12) from the number of practitioners, and the system initially estimated the number of practitioners to be 34 (exceeding the red line of 30);
  2. Failure to declare additional deduction for R&D expenses and overpayment of enterprise income tax of 75,000 yuan.

Compliance operation after:

  1. The number of employees was adjusted to 32 (meeting the standard of ≤300) by adding the labor contracts of part-time employees;
  2. Through the "Beijing Science and Innovation Pass" platform to complete the filing of R&D projects, 300,000 R&D expenses plus 100% deduction;
  3. Final taxable income = (280-220-30) x (1-100% plus) = $100K;
  4. Taxable amount = 100,000 x 3% =0.3 million yuan($272,000 in tax savings from before correction).

IV. Conclusion

The core logic of Beijing's income tax concessions for small and microenterprises in 2026 has shifted from "universal tax cuts" to "precise drip irrigation" - not only to make compliant enterprises "lighter" but also to make irregular arbitrage "nowhere to hide". The core logic of the 2026 Beijing Small and Micro Enterprises Income Tax Preference has shifted from "universal tax cuts" to "precise drip irrigation" - both to allow compliant enterprises to "travel light" and to allow irregular arbitrage "nowhere to hide". For enterprises."Getting the indicators right" is more important than "finding the right connections", and "dynamic monitoring" is more effective than "after-the-fact remedies"The "Preferential Adaptation Self-Check" is particularly recommended for Beijing-based small and micro enterprises (e.g. live e-commerce and hard technology start-ups) in their expansion phase. Especially for Beijing small and micro enterprises in the expansion period (e.g. live e-commerce, hard science and technology start-ups), it is recommended to start the "self-check of preferential adaptation" during the quarterly pre-payment, so as to avoid missing the full-year dividend due to a momentary negligence. After all, in the era of "data tax", compliance itself is the biggest cost reduction!
