01. Analysis of direct credit cases

Take the acquisition of operating profits and franchise income of overseas branches and permanent establishments as an example].

Domestic Company A is a high-tech enterprise engaged in the production and installation of electricity meters, and has set up a number of subsidiaries and branches abroad. [Note: In this case, the "non-country-specific non-itemized credit method" is selected].

(1) [Indonesia] subsidiary

Domestic Company A collects royalties from its Indonesian subsidiary and obtains royalty income. Royalty withholding tax at source of IDR 130,000 in 2023; IDR 1,170,000 was actually received at an exchange rate of 0000473, the book income was RMB61490,000 yuan ((1,170,000+130,000) 0000473=614.9)。

Calculation: 1. The amount of income tax directly paid abroad is 130,000 0000473=61.490,000 yuan;

2. Adjusted income after tax on overseas income Overseas income after tax Income tax directly paid income tax 1,170,000 0000473+61.49=614.900,000 yuan.

(2) [Colombia] Branch

The total profit of the Brazilian subsidiary in 2022 was RMB120 million, with corporate income tax of RMB11 million, after-tax profit of RMB109 million, and actual corporate income tax of RMB8.8 million.

Calculation: 1. The amount of income tax directly paid abroad is 1.25 million yuan.

2. Indirect management costs borne by Bangladesh projects (900 9900) 1100 1 million yuan (apportioned according to income);

3. Adjusted income after tax on overseas income Pre-tax income Tax adjustment on income and expenses of overseas branches Costs and expenses related to the adjustment of overseas income (900 350 120 100) (30 40%) 3.42 million yuan.

Note

Determination of the tax year of overseas branches: According to Article 11 of the Notice on Issues Concerning the Credit of Overseas Income Tax of Enterprises (2009) 125 of Cai Shui (2009), if an enterprise invests in overseas and establishes a branch without independent tax status, and the tax year in which it calculates its production and business income is inconsistent with the tax year stipulated in China, the overseas tax year corresponding to the current year of China's tax year shall be the overseas tax year ending on any day in the relevant tax year in China. For example, the tax year of Bangladesh is: August 2022 to July 2023, and the corresponding tax year in China is 2023, so its taxable income from August 2022 to July 2023 should be incorporated into China's taxable income in 2023.

To sum up, the actual domestic income tax credit of enterprise A's overseas income under the "non-country-neutral" credit method is shown in the following table:

02. Analysis of indirect credit cases

Take the dividends and dividends of subsidiaries with more than one layer of overseas equity structure as an example].

Assumption: When dividends are distributed, 10% withholding tax needs to be paid in the country of income**; 50% of the distributable amount of the after-tax profit of each entity will be distributed to the upper-level investors; Exchange rates are not taken into account. The shareholding structure and related data are shown in the figure below (unit: 10,000 yuan):

[Analysis].Since the Chinese company directly holds shares in Company A and indirectly holds shares in Company B and Company C (both holding more than 20% of the shares), Company A, Company B and Company C are the first-tier, second-tier and third-tier overseas subsidiaries that are eligible for indirect credit shareholding, respectively.

Company C distributed a 50% dividend of RMB 800,000 (RMB 3.2 million, 50%, 50%) to Company B according to its shareholding ratio of 50%.

2. The formula for calculating the tax amount of indirect burden is as follows:

The tax amount paid by the enterprise (Company C) at this level belongs to the tax amount borne by a superior enterprise (Company B) (the actual tax paid by the enterprise at this level on profits and investment income + the tax amount indirectly borne by the enterprise at this level) Dividends (bonuses) distributed by the enterprise at this level to an enterprise at the upper level) The profit after income tax of the enterprise at this level (80 0) 80 320 200,000 yuan.
