Recently, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Administration of Taxation jointly revised and issued the "Measures for the Collection of Income from the Transfer of Mining Rights" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), further improving the paid use system of mineral resources, standardizing the collection and management of income from the transfer of mining rights, and promoting the healthy and orderly development of related industries. The relevant heads of the three departments stated that the "Measures" are based on the actual needs of mineral resources, taking into account both scientific and reasonable aspects when formulated. In implementation, payment declaration services will be provided to reduce the burden of taxation on enterprises. In recent years, the reform of the mineral resource equity fund system has been continuously deepening, and the international and domestic mining market situation has changed. This has also put forward new requirements for improving the macroeconomic regulation and management of mineral resources. Meanwhile, industry experts have stated that there have been issues with the implementation of mineral resources policies, such as a faster pace of expropriation and a heavier burden on enterprises. Therefore, in order to adapt to changes in the situation, promote high-quality development of mining, safeguard and realize the national ownership rights and interests of mineral resources, reasonably adjust the distribution of mineral resource profits, and create a fair competition environment in the mineral resource market, the three departments have revised and issued the "Measures" to improve the collection methods for mining rights concession profits. The above person in charge introduced that the "Measures" continue most of the previous provisions and have refined, adjusted, and supplemented some of them based on the actual situation of expropriation management; In terms of the expropriation management system, promote the advancement of expropriation management policies with the times; In terms of the collection method of transfer proceeds, it alleviates the payment pressure of enterprises; Improved management and service effectiveness in payment and refund; In terms of the connection between new and old policies, the policy of collecting profits from the transfer of new and old mining rights has been classified and clarified.

The "Measures" focus on the issue of faster collection pace, which will promote a balanced time distribution of financial burden for mining rights holders, help reduce enterprise costs, dispel concerns of some geological exploration units, encourage them to accelerate conversion and production, and release production capacity as soon as possible. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources, who takes into account both scientific and reasonable considerations, introduced that the "Measures" include 144 minerals with important strategic significance, high exploration risks, and significant impact on the industrial chain in the "Catalogue of Mineral Resources" for the statutory 173 mineral types. The collection is mainly based on the rate of return on mining rights transfer, including all energy, metals, gemstones, water and gas, and most non-metallic minerals. For minerals with low exploration risks such as sand, gravel, and soil, or those that can directly transfer mining rights, they are not included in the "Mineral Category Catalogue" and are still collected based on the amount.
