HAIKOU - Overseas visitors can now claim tax refunds on purchases in south China's island province of Hainan as the rebate plan went into effect on Jan 1.

Deputy governor of Hainan Tan Li announced the inauguration of the tax refund scheme on?the morning of Jan 1 at Shengsheng Department Store in the capital city Haikou.

Shengsheng Department Store is one of the three shopping centers which are designated to carry out the new tax plan. The other two are Minsheng Department Store, also in Haikou, and Summer Day Department Store in Sanya, the most famous tourist destination on the island.

The rebate scheme is expected to bring much business to the shopping center, said Shan Rongsheng, general manager of Shengsheng Department Store.

"We shall diversify our groceries to cater to the demand of overseas tourists. In the meantime, we shall ensure the quality of our commodities," said Shan.

According to the tax plan, foreign tourists or citizens from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who have lived in China's mainland for no more than 183 days can receive a rebate of 11 percent of consumer goods purchased within 90 days before departing the island.

The minimum purchase on which a tourist can apply for tax refunds is 800 yuan ($120).

The rebate covers 324 items that fall into 21 categories such as clothing, shoes, hats, cosmetics, clocks, watches, jewelry, electronics, stationery, sporting goods, medical instruments and furniture.

Food, beverages, fruit, tobacco, alcohol, motor vehicles and motor cycles are not included in the rebate scheme.

The goods should remain in an unused condition to be eligible for the rebate.

Hainan is the first region nationwide to pilot the scheme.

The Chinese government announced a plan in January 2010 to build the tropical island into a top international tourism destination by 2020.

To achieve the goal, Hainan added five more countries to its visa-free list in August, allowing tourist groups from 26 countries to enjoy visa-free access for up to 15 days.

Hainan received more than 23 million tourists who stayed at least one night during the first 11 months of 2010, up 11.6 percent from a year earlier, according to Hainan's statistics bureau.

Meanwhile, tourism revenues surged 20.7 percent year on year to 22.9 billion yuan ($3.5 billion).
