The tax payment situation for the income from entrepot trade is as follows:
First, for value-added tax, entrepot trade essentially belongs to the goods sales behavior, and generally, value-added tax needs to be paid in China. If the company is a general taxpayer, the applicable tax rate is usually 13%, and the tax base is the sales amount of the entrepot trade, that is, all the prices and extra charges collected from the customer. If it is a small-scale taxpayer, the levy rate is generally 3% (there are preferential policies during the epidemic).
Second, for enterprise income tax, the tax base is the profit of the entrepot trade, and the applicable tax rate is generally 25%. If it meets the preferential conditions such as being a small and micro-profit enterprise, a lower tax rate can be applied.
When making tax declarations, accurately fill out the value-added tax return and the enterprise income tax return, and declare and pay within the specified time limit. At the same time, keep relevant contracts, invoices, transportation documents and other materials for tax inspections.

In terms of determining the tax payment location, value-added tax is generally declared and paid at the location of the institution.
