BEIJING - Local governments in China will no longer share revenue from stamp duty on securities transactions from Jan 1, 2016, according to a statement released by the State Council on Thursday.
Currently, 97 percent of the revenue goes to the central government with 3 percent going to local governments.
The move is to improve fiscal revenue distribution between the central and local governments, the statement said, without giving more details.
