[Tax Talk] 2026 Tax Incentives: Key Considerations To Secure Your Benefits

As 2026 draws to a close, this is an opportune time for businesses to review the tax incentives currently being applied, assess the tax benefits they may be entitled to, and prepare for annual tax finalization. Against the backdrop of significant changes in tax policies, correctly identifying eligible taxpayers and meeting the applicable conditions have become increasingly important.

For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particular attention should be paid to the eligibility requirements for preferential corporate income tax (CIT) rates. For newly established businesses or those implementing new investment projects, the business sectors and investment locations may affect their eligibility for tax incentives. Meanwhile, businesses operating in encouraged sectors should review the relevant incentive policies, while foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) also need to assess how the Global Minimum Tax may affect the actual benefits derived from tax incentives.

What should businesses review to ensure they do not miss out on the tax benefits available to them in 2026?

Russell Bedford KTC is hosting Tax Talk 2026, featuring experienced tax professionals who will provide updates on key tax policies, discuss eligibility requirements and address practical issues that businesses should take into consideration.
