Whether transit trade is subject to stamp duty depends on the specific situation. First of all, stamp duty is a kind of tax levied on the act of signing and receiving legally valid vouchers in economic activities and economic exchanges. If relevant contracts are signed for transit trade, such as purchase contracts and sales contracts, stamp duty is theoretically levied.
As for the tax calculation basis, if the purchase amount and the sales amount are separately stated in the contract, usually these two amounts are taken as the basis, and the stamp duty is affixed at the rate of three ten-thousandths applicable to purchase and sales contracts. If the amounts are not separately recorded in the contract but recorded in the form of total price including tax, then the total price including tax is taken as the tax calculation basis. However, tax policies may vary in different regions. It is recommended that you communicate and confirm with the local tax authorities in a timely manner to accurately fulfill your tax obligations and avoid tax risks.
