the Income Tax Law (hereinafter referred to as Tax Law) for enterprise
with foreign investment and Foreign Enterprises and Article 2 of the
Detailed Rules for Implementation of the Tax Law for enterprise with
foreign investment and Foreign Enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the
Detailed Rules for Implementation), enterprise income tax shall be
calculated and paid in accordance with the stipulations of the Tax Law and
its Detailed Rules for Implementation for the business income and other
income of the enterprise with foreign investment in the medical and
educational undertakings.

investment in the educational trade as well as other incomes, except for
the items which are exempt from business tax in accordance with the
stipulations of Section (4), Clause 1, Article 6 of the Provisional
Regulations Concerning Business Tax, shall be regarded as business income
of the enterprises and business tax is calculated and paid; the balance of
the whole lot of income (including income that is exempt from business
tax) they gained, after deducting from cost, expenses and losses, shall be
regarded as payable amount of income on the basis of which enterprise

pledge in full after the conclusion of the school term in accordance with
the school statute or the stipulations of the entrance contract and which

regarded as business income, only the interest gained on the cash pledge
is regarded as business income on which tax is calculated and paid; for
schools which first collect high-value fees in accordance with the school
statute or the stipulations of the entrance contract, the fees are
partially returned to the students after the conclusion of the school term
or when the students discontinue their schooling midway or leave the
school, and are partially retained for the enterprise itself, the part of
fees that should be returned may be regarded as cash pledge, not as
business income, but tax is calculated and paid for the interest derived
therefrom and that part of fees not to be returned which is regarded as
business income when received.
III. For the various items of incomes gained by enterprise with
foreign investment in the medical trade, with the exception of the
projects which are exempt from business tax as stipulated in Section (3),
Clause 1, Article 6 of the Provisional Regulations on Business Tax, shall
all be subjected to the calculation and payment of business tax; the
balance of the various items of income they gained, after deducting
