Ferrari Sees First Electric Car's Low Tax Lifting China Business
Ferrari NV is looking to its first fully electric supercar to revive sales in China because the model will benefit from lower tariff and tax rates.
The Elettrica EV that Ferrari will unveil starting in October is expected to be taxed at a compound rate of 30% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price. The carmaker's models equipped with its roaring 12-cylinder engines face a combined import, consumption and value-added tax that's almost four times that rate.

China Accuses US Of Violating Trade Pact—Rejects Trump's Allegation
Chinese authorities on Monday accused the U.S. of violating a recent trade pact that both agreed to in Geneva last month, as they dismissed President Donald Trump's allegation about Beijing breaching the agreement, a move that could signal a further escalation in trade tensions between the two countries, which could potentially jeopardize last month's tariff truce. China's Commerce Ministry accused the U.S. of violating a trade deal agreed in Geneva by imposing ... More additional chip restrictions and canceling Chinese student visas. In a press briefing, a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson dismissed Trump's comments accusing China of violating the agreement, saying Beijing has worked 'to strictly implement and actively safeguard the Geneva deal.' The spokesperson noted that China had acted in accordance with the deal to cancel or suspend 'relevant tariffs and non-tariff measures' it had taken as retaliation against the U.S. government's reciprocal tariffs. The spokesperson then accused the U.S. of introducing ' a number of discriminatory restrictive measures against China' after the talks, citing expanded export controls on AI chips and other chip-building technology. The official also criticized the U.S. government's crackdown on Chinese student visas, saying these actions violated the consensus reached between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in a phone call on January 17. The spokesperson then warned that if the U.S. continues to take actions that damage China, Beijing will 'take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.' In a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday, Trump said: 'China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' without specifying how it had done so. The president then signalled that the U.S. may retaliate against this alleged non-compliance, saying: 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' In his post, the president claimed his tariffs had put China in 'grave economic danger' and he made a 'FAST DEAL' in Geneva, 'in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation.'
