Solved#Entrepot trade#
Our company is recently planning to carry out entrepot trade business and is not very clear about the tax categories involved in entrepot trade. I would like to ask what specific tax category entrepot trade belongs to in terms of taxation? Is there a big difference from the tax categories of general trade? In the actual operation process, how to determine the applicable tax category? Will it be very complicated? I hope to get answers from professionals so that we can make preparations in advance.

Entrepot trade itself usually does not involve the actual entry of goods into the customs territory of the country, and generally does not fall within the scope of levying turnover taxes such as value-added tax and consumption tax in China. From the perspective of customs duties, since the goods are not actually imported, import duties are not levied either. However, during the entrepot trade process, if an enterprise obtains relevant profits, it will involve corporate income tax. According to the Corporate Income Tax Law, the taxable income amount is taxed, and the general tax rate is 25%. Small and micro-profit enterprises that meet the conditions can apply preferential tax rates.
At the same time, in the signing process of the entrepot trade contract, stamp duty may be involved. According to the tax category of purchase and sales contracts, it is paid at 0.03% of the contract amount. It should be noted that policies may vary in different regions. Before carrying out the business, enterprises can consult the local tax authorities or professional tax advisors to ensure accurate tax payment.
