Tax Compliance Series | Tax Compliance for cross-border e-commerce export enterprises
2022 11/15Author:Jia MengmengThe "Double 11" has ended. In previous years, e-commerce platforms such as Tmall have already announced amazing sales during the Double 11 period (November 1-11), but this year, no relevant data has been released on any platform. However, the author found that multiple media reported a set of sales data for cross-border e-commerce. During the "Double 11" period, the Shenzhen Customs accumulated more than 60 million import and export lists under the supervision of the cross-border e-commerce management platform, an increase of about 40% year-on-year. Cross-border e-commerce can maintain a reverse growth trend under the impact of the epidemic, and it has clearly become a growth point that cannot be ignored in China's economic development. According to the Economic Daily, "In the first three quarters of this year, the total import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce in Guangdong exceeded 300 billion yuan." In Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other places in China, there are a large number of small and micro enterprises engaged in foreign trade export business through cross-border e-commerce platforms. While they are developing rapidly, they have hidden many tax risk points due to inadequate understanding of tax legal documents. Here, the author takes the reader to understand the common tax related risk points of cross-border e-commerce export enterprises and the key points of tax compliance, hoping to bring inspiration to cross-border e-commerce practitioners. -

Overseas Financing Transaction Series | Interest Rate Chapter: Written on the eve of LIBOR interest rate conversion
2022 11/10Author:Xian YuIn the past few decades, Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) has been the cornerstone of the global financial system, providing a reference for pricing various financial agreements, the most important of which is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). By 2018, when the global market decided to shift from LIBOR, there were approximately $400 trillion worth of financial agreements around the world that were linked to LIBOR pricing (financial agreements included everything from derivative financial agreements to loan agreements and interest rate agreements). Currently, major global markets, including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, have made it clear that no LIBOR interest rate agreement can be entered into after December 31, 2021. Certain dollar denominated LIBOR agreements are valid until June 30, 2023, but are limited to legacy contracts. According to the "Best Practices for Completing the LIBOR Transition from LIBOR" and other guidance documents published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), it is no longer recommended to use US dollar LIBOR as the reference interest rate for new commercial loan agreements signed after June 30, 2021; If market participants still insist on using US dollar LIBOR in loan agreements, they need to at least ensure the inclusion of fallback language, and ensure that there are other interest rate mechanisms that can replace LIBOR after the disappearance or loss of representativeness of US dollar LIBOR. -

Do tax authorities have the right to file and inspect cancelled enterprises?
2022 11/07Author:Jia Mengmeng"If an enterprise has tax risks and cancels them as soon as possible, will the risks also be lost?" The answer to this question was originally clear, "If the enterprise has a criminal risk of being suspected of fraudulent, then even if it is cancelled, the criminal liability of the relevant responsible person has not been eliminated. If there are tax related violations such as tax evasion and underpayment, then the cancellation of the legal entity, like the death of a natural person, should no longer be held accountable."
