Step 1: Check the amount of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) to be saved once the enterprises apply for the Super Deduction policy. The check points are as follows:
Check the current annual profitability of your company
Situation
If profitable
If unprofitable
Analysis and decision making
Check whether your company is eligible for the 150% Super Deduction. Qualifying for the Super Deduction policy will reduce your company’s CIT burden.
Check the reasons behind the company losses
Low related party transaction pricing leading to losses.
Normal business operations and management leading to losses, however, it is estimated that the company will be highly profitable after 5 years.
Check whether your company is eligible for the 150% Super Deduction. Obtaining the Super Deduction qualification will reduce the risk of your company incurring huge amount of CIT if the tax authorities were to adjust the related party transaction price.
In that case, obtaining the 150% Super Deduction qualification will increase the amount of company losses within the 5 years to come and when the company is highly profitable 5 years later, the company can offset the previous 5 years’ losses with the current year’s profits. Thereby, less or no CIT will be paid.
