Tax circulars Notice regarding the amendments to the Administrative Measures for the Collection of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) on a Deemed Basis for Non-Resident Companies, the Administrative Measures of CIT for Chinese-controlled Foreign Companies Recognized as Resident Companies in accordance with Effective Management Criteria and the Application of Special Tax Treatments for Non-residents Equity Transfer (SAT Announcement [2015] No. 22) On 24 February 2015, the State Council cancelled the approval requirements for the following items through Guofa [2015] No. 11 ( Circular 11, i.e., Notice regarding the cancellation of administrative approval and adjustment of approval authority for certain administrative approval items) (please refer to CTIE for details of Circular 11): No. Items cancelled Circular reference 1 Approval requirements for industries and profit rates applicable to non-resident companies by tax authorities in charge Guoshuifa [2010] No. 19 ( Circular 19 ), i.e., Administrative Measures for the CIT Collection on a Deemed Basis for Non-Resident Companies (please refer to China Tax & Investment News Issue No for details of Circular 19) 2 Approval requirements for the choosing of in-charge tax authorities by Chinese-controlled foreign companies (CFCs) established overseas recognized as resident companies (hereinafter referred to as Overseas-registered Tax Residents ) 3 Approval requirements for the change of tax authorities in charge of Overseas-registered Tax Residents SAT Announcement [2011] No. 45 ( Announcement 45 ), i.e., Administrative Measures of CIT for Overseas-registered Tax Residents in accordance with Effective Management Criteria (Trial) (please refer to CTIE for details of Announcement 45)
2 On 28 January 2014, the State Council released Guofa [2014] No. 5 ( Circular 5, i.e., Notice regarding the cancellation of administrative approval procedures and the delegation of approval authority for certain administrative approval items), which cancelled the approval requirements for applying special tax treatments to equity transactions by non-residents. The approval procedure for this item has indeed been replaced by a record filing system according to SAT Announcement [2013] No. 72 ( Announcement 72, i.e., Notice regarding several issues related to the application of special tax treatments for non-residents equity transfers) (please refer to CTIE and CTIE for details of Circular 5 and Announcement 72). In response to the requirements of the above circulars and in order to strengthen the follow-up administration, the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) released SAT Announcement [2015] No. 22 ( Announcement 22 ) on 17 April 2015 making amendments to certain articles of Circular 19 and Announcements 45 and 72. Announcement 22 will become effective on 1 June Circular/article being amended Article 9 of Circular 19 Article 5 of Announcement 45 Amendment made by Announcement 22 Tax authorities in charge should send non-resident companies a form for assessment of CIT calculation methods () (hereinafter referred to as assessment form ) on a timely basis. The nonresident companies should complete the assessment form and submit it to their tax authorities in charge within 10 working days upon receipt of the form. The tax authorities in charge should complete the assessment of CIT calculation method within 20 working days upon acceptance of the form. The in-charge tax authority as defined in Announcement 45 refers to the incharge tax authority of the jurisdiction where the major investor of the Overseas-registered Tax Resident is registered. Analysis of the amendment CIT collection on a deemed basis for non-resident companies is based on Article 35 of the Tax Collection and Administration Law which stipulates that tax authorities are empowered to assess tax payable of taxpayers when their CIT payable cannot be computed based on an actual basis. Application submitted by taxpayers would not serve as a prerequisite for the CIT collection on a deemed basis. To avoid ambiguity and to implement Circular 11, Announcement 22 revised Article 9 of Circular 19 and changed the procedures and requirements for CIT collection on a deemed basis, clarified the handling timeline, removed the approval requirements for applicable industries and profit rates as well as modified the assessment form. As the criteria for determining the effective management of a CFC and its location may not be clear enough in prevailing tax laws and regulations, there are always disputes over the judgment of its tax authority in charge. This will increase uncertainty and administrative costs for both tax authorities and taxpayers if the tax authorities in charge of the Overseas-registered Tax Residents were not given enough clarification in advance. Therefore, the SAT released SAT Announcement [2014] No. 9 ( Announcement 9, i.e., Notice regarding issues related to the implementation of resident companies recognition according to the effective management criteria) which stipulates that a CFC established overseas qualifying for a resident company status should apply for recognition as Overseas-registered Tax Resident with the incharge tax authority of the jurisdiction where its major investor is registered. Based on this stipulation, Announcement 22 further clarified that the tax authority in charge of the Overseasregistered Tax Resident shall be the in-charge tax authority of the jurisdiction where its major investor is registered and removed the approval requirements for the choosing and changing of the tax authority in charge of Overseasregistered Tax Residents. (Please refer to CTIE for details of Announcement 9.) 2
3 Circular/article Amendment made by Announcement Analysis of the amendment being amended 22 On 28 January 2014, the State Council released Guofa [2014] No. 5 ( Circular 5, i.e., Notice regarding the Article 7 of Announcement 72 General tax treatments shall be applicable to non-residents equity transfers if the results of an investigation and verification after the record filing for special tax treatments reveal that the transfer is not qualified for special tax treatments. In such a case, CIT would become payable. If the record filing for special tax treatments for non-residents equity transfers is not filed, the tax authorities should inform the applicants to go through the record filing formalities according to Articles 2 and 3 of Announcement 72. Relevant taxpayers and their investors should be aware of the changes brought about by Announcement 22 and comply with new requirements when making relevant applications. If in doubt, assistance from tax professionals would be helpful.

Announcement 72 requires that, for special tax treatments for non-residents equity transfers failed to be filed for record, general tax treatments shall apply and CIT would become payable. However, in practice, this provision would lead to the imposition of approval requirements. Thus, Announcement 22 removed this improper provision and required tax authorities to inform the applicants to go through the record filing formalities according to relevant rules instead of to directly apply general tax treatments to non-residents equity transfers in the cases where the record filing is not completed.

However, small-scale VAT taxpayers that only enjoy the VAT exemption for their monthly sales not exceeding RMB30,000 (quarterly sales not exceeding RMB90,000) or their sales not exceeding the upper limit of the VAT threshold are not required to file the statements when filing their VAT returns. 3

Announcement 25 clarifies the documentation requirements for CIT deduction of unrecoverable loan losses incurred by financial institutions on loans provided to the agricultural industry and small-and-medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter referred to as loan losses ) which are due for one year or above based on their balances of the loans provided to the respective debtors. Balance of loan Balance of loan provided to a single debtor RMB3 million Documents required for the CIT deduction The financial institutions may provide one of the following original records related to the debt recovery actions against the debtor and guarantor signed by both the handler and responsible person to substantiate the CIT deductions: Records for legal debt recovery actions Records for telephone debt recovery actions Records for mailing debt recovery actions RMB3 million < Balance of loan provided to a single debtor RMB10 million Balance of loan provided to a single debtor > RMB10 million Records for on-site visit debt recovery actions The financial institutions should provide original records related to legal debt recovery actions against the debtor and guarantor signed by both the handler and responsible person to substantiate the CIT deductions. Deductible losses shall be calculated and claimed according to 2011 Announcement 25. Financial institutions should establish a competent internal control scheme to manage the verification and write-off of loan losses and properly maintain relevant documents that substantiate the losses. Classifications of loans provided to the agricultural industry and small-and-medium-sized enterprises shall refer to Caishui [2015] No. 3 ( Circular 3, i.e., Notice regarding CIT policies related to the deduction for loan loss provisions made by financial institutions on loans provided to the agricultural industry and small-and-mediumsized enterprises) (please refer to CTIE for details of Circular 3). Announcement 25 applies to CIT deductions of loan losses incurred in the year 2014 and onwards. 4
5 Our observations In order to encourage financial institutions to provide loans to the agricultural industry and small-and-mediumsized enterprises, Announcement 25 was issued to simplify the complex supporting documentation requirements for the CIT deduction of loan losses as prescribed in 2011 Announcement 25. In this respect, Announcement 25 simplifies the supporting documentation requirements for loan losses not exceeding RMB10 million to a single debtor. However, for loan losses to a single debtor exceeding RMB10 million, the CIT deduction for such loan losses should still subject to the more complex documentation requirement as prescribed in 2011 Announcement 25. Relevant financial institutions should read Announcement 25 carefully and ensure they maintain proper documents for the deductions of loan losses, if any, for CIT purposes.
