China Mobile ( (HK:0941) ) has provided an update.

China Mobile has announced that, following a new directive from China’s Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration effective 1 January 2026, tax treatment for handset data traffic services, SMS and MMS services, and internet broadband connection services within China will be reclassified from value-added telecommunications services to basic telecommunications services, increasing the applicable value-added tax rate from 6% to 9%. The company expects this change in tax classification to affect its revenue and profit, and in response it plans to double down on strengthening its network infrastructure, advancing full-stack innovation and improving operational efficiency as it pursues its strategy of becoming a world-class science and technology services enterprise, while advising investors to exercise caution when dealing in its securities.
