The income tax rate for entrepot trade generally follows the relevant regulations of enterprise income tax. Currently, the basic rate of enterprise income tax in our country is 25%. However, for qualified small and low-profit enterprises, the enterprise income tax is levied at a reduced rate of 20%; for high-tech enterprises that need to be supported by the state, the enterprise income tax is levied at a reduced rate of 15%.
The income tax rate is unified across the country and does not change due to different regions. However, various localities may introduce some tax preferential policies to attract investment and so on.
When calculating the taxable income of entrepot trade, reasonable expenses related to obtaining income, including costs, expenses, taxes, losses and other expenses, can all be deducted when calculating the taxable income. For example, procurement costs, transportation expenses, warehousing expenses, employees' salaries, etc., can all be deducted as required to reduce the taxable amount.

Financial accounting should be standardized, and all revenues and expenditures involved in entrepot trade should be accurately recorded. In this way, when calculating income tax, the costs and revenues can be clearly presented, avoiding the impact on the application of tax rates and the calculation of taxable amounts due to unclear accounting.
