Relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:

　　1. Work Injury Risk Categories and Industry Benchmark Contribution Rates

　　Based on the industry categories set forth by theIndustrial Classification for National Economic Activities (GB/T 4754-2002), Guangzhou has divided industries into eight categories in increasing order of their work injury risk level. Benchmark work injury insurance contribution rates are correspondingly divided into eight tiers: 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.7%, 0.9%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3% and 1.4% of total employee wages in the previous year. Specific industry categories and benchmark contribution rates shall follow the Industry Risk Classification and Benchmark Contribution Rates for Work Injury Insurance in Guangzhou (Annex).

　　After the adoption of the new contribution rate tiers, industry entities with contribution rates higher than the levels defined in theRegulations on Work Injury Insurance in Guangzhou (Sui Fu [2014] No. 30) shall remain subject to the original corresponding tiers.

　　2. Industry Categories and Determination of Benchmark Contribution Rates in Special Situations

　　2.1For labor dispatch agencies that have already obtained a labor dispatch business license issued by a human resources and social security authority, the benchmark contribution rate shall be determined based on the industry of the employing unit(s) to which workers are dispatched, or the industry of the employing unit(s) to which a majority of workers are dispatched.

　　2.2Where an employer is registered as engaging in more than one commercial activity, its industry category and benchmark contribution rate shall be determined by its principal commercial activity.

　　2.3Where an employer is registered as engaging in a commercial activity not corresponding to any industry category, its benchmark contribution rate shall be determined by selecting the industry category with the lowest benchmark contribution rate from the categories close to its principal commercial activity.

　　2.4In the event of changes in registered information and the principal commercial activity, an employer shall submit its business license and timely complete procedures for changing its industry category in accordance with the relevant requirements of taxation authorities.

　　3.Floating Work Injury Contribution Rate Tiers and Relevant Measures

　　Implementation shall be based on theMeasures for the Management of Floating Work Injury Insurance Contribution Rates in Guangzhou (Sui Ren She Gui Zi [2018] No. 8).

　　4.2As work injury insurance contributions for May 2019 were collected based on a reduction of 30%, in order to reduce the impact on payment processes for entities enrolled in the insurance system, the difference of 20 percentage points with respect to national policy directives will be compensated in June 2019, namely: for entities enrolled in the insurance system that have registered for payment before or on May 31, 2019, and are still enrolled in the insurance system in June 2019, their work injury insurance contribution rate in June will be reduced by 70%. This will revert to 50% after July 1. During the implementation period, entities enrolled in the insurance system that first registered for payment on or after June 1, 2019 will have their work injury insurance contribution rate reduced by 50%.

　　5.For housing construction or municipal infrastructure engineering projects, their work injury insurance contribution rate shall be adjusted to 0.8‰ of the total contract price.

　　7.Theadjustment of work injury contribution rate policies involves the vital interests of employers and employees, as well as the security and stability of society. All district human resources and social security, finance, and taxation authorities shall fulfill their respective duties and cooperate closely to coordinate the organization and advancement of relevant work. Municipal and district social insurance agencies shall formulate elaborate implementation measures to further strengthen and improve fund management practices.
