Other Preferential Tax Policies
Qianhai also provides enterprises with special tax policies such as reduced CIT and individual income tax (IIT) rates. Details of these preferential tax policies can be found below.

 

Preferential CIT Policies

According to “Announcement No.26 [2014]” released by the Ministry of Finance (MOF), enterprises engaging in the types of businesses encouraged in the “Catalog for Preferential Tax Policies List” will be taxed at a reduced CIT rate of 15 percent starting on January 1, 2014 until December 31, 2020. The Catalog mainly includes four industrial sectors, namely technology services, modern logistics, the cultural and creative industry and information services.

 

The following conditions must be met for enterprises to enjoy the preferential rate:

The enterprise must be engaged in business activities categorized as eligible in the Preferential Catalog;
The income of these business activities should account for more than 70 percent of the enterprises’ total income, which itself can only include income from the company’s primary business activities;
In the case that a company has branches or representative offices (RO) both inside and outside the zone, the reduced 15 percent CIT rate shall only apply to the branches and ROs located within the zone.

It should also be noted that if enterprises are eligible for both the CIT rate of 15 percent as stated in the Catalog as well as other preferential treatments in accordance with CIT law, they can simultaneously enjoy multiple such benefits. Also, the “taxed at a half-rate” policy only applies based on a 25 percent CIT rate.

 

Preferential IIT Policies

According to the “Circular on Financial Subsidies for Individual Income Tax on Foreign High-end Talent and Talent in Short Supply in the Qianhai Zone (Shen Fu [2012] No. 143),” foreign high-end talent engaged in encouraged industries in the Qianhai Zone are eligible for IIT reductions. Financial Subsidies will be provided by the Shenzhen municipal government if the amount of IIT income paid by the foreign talent on his/her salary exceeds 15 percent of his/her total taxable salary income.

 

Preferential BT Policies

Starting on August 1, 2014, factoring service enterprises established in Qianhai, Shenzhen are included in a preferential business tax (BT) program. A factoring enterprise’s income generated through interest shall be taxed based on the difference between the obtained interest and the interest paid to financial institutions (such as banks). Other income gained from factoring shall be taxed on the full amount.

 

Preferential Stamp-tax Policies

Contracts signed for outsourcing activities between companies within a corporate group are regarded as agency appointment contracts and shall be exempt from stamp-tax.

Furthermore, tax declaration procedures have been substantially simplified in the zone, enabling taxpayers to complete their tax declarations within only 10 minutes.
