Chuangxin Industries (HKG:2788) said its unit Inner Mongolia Chuangyuan Metal may be liable to pay 400 million yuan to 500 million yuan in taxes as it undergoes a so-called tax guidance because of its inclusion in the preferential tax policy for high-tech enterprises, according to a filing with the Hong Kong bourse Monday.
