China’s corporate tax system remains in a state of transition and this has resulted in a lot of uncertainty about the application of laws and regulations. Recently, China has also implemented a general anti-avoidance rule that is very broad in scope. Such changes challenge the traditional tax planning strategies in China and underline the need for companies to ensure that they have adequate tax advice to reduce potential taxation risks.
