Whole Doc.
To the people's governments of various provinces, autonomous regions and
municipalities, various ministries and commissions under the State Council
and various organizations directly under the State Council:
In accordance with the stipulations of the Individual Income Tax Law
of the People's Republic of China adopted and decided to be revised at the
Fourth Session of the Standing Committee of the Eighth National People's
Congress in October 1993, individual income tax shall be levied on the
income from stocks transfer. In the Regulations on the Implementation of
the Individual Income Tax Law of the people's Republic of China published
by the State Council in January 1994, it is clearly defined that the
method for the levying of individual income tax on the income from stocks
transfer shall be formulated separately by the Ministry of Finance and
reported to the State Council for approval and implementation. In view of
the fact that the development of China's securities market is still not
mature and the shareholding system is still in an experimental stage, the
method for the calculation and the levying of tax on the income from
stocks transfer and the determination of the tax-paying period shall be
stipulated in light of common international practices and in conformity
with China's actual conditions on the basis of following thorough
investigation and study. Therefore, with approval from the State Council,
it is decided that the income from stocks transfer is temporarily exempt
from individual income tax this and next years.
