Withholding tax for non-resident enterprises

The following payments made by a government organization, a resident taxable entity, an event organizer, a permanent establishment or any other representative of a non-resident enterprise to a non-resident enterprise other than a permanent establishment, regardless of the name and form of payment, payable or due, are subject to a 20% withholding tax:

(1) dividends;

(2) interest, including share premiums, dividend discounts and loan repayment deposits, of which the withholding tax rate for bond interest income is 10%;

(3) royalties, rents and other income related to the use of property;

(4) remuneration related to services, works and activities;

(5) prizes and awards;

(6) pensions and other periodic payments;

(7) premiums and other hedging transactions;

(8) income from debt forgiveness.

In addition, non-resident taxpayers other than permanent establishments are required to withhold 20% withholding tax on the assessed profits when transferring domestic property. Non-residents are also subject to a 20% withholding tax on the indirect transfer of domestic property through conduit companies or special purpose companies.

A 20% withholding tax is applicable to the after-tax income paid out by a permanent establishment of a non-resident enterprise, unless the profit is reinvested in the country.

The above withholding tax shall be treated as final tax unless it falls into the following circumstances:

(1) Withholding tax withheld on income similar to the business of the permanent establishment obtained by the head office in the location of the permanent establishment;

(2) Withholding tax withheld on non-resident enterprises or individuals that have become resident taxpayers or permanent establishments.
