22 out of 31 Chinese provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have scrapped farming tax in a government attempt to raise the low income of farmers. The zero-tax policies, initially expected to take five years to realise, have been implemented in major agricultural provinces such as Henan, Shanxi, Heilongjiang and Jilin, and relatively developed provinces and municipalities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
