Tax avoidance methods

The tax avoidance behavior of foreign-invested enterprises in my country mainly manifests itself in tax avoidance through transfer pricing. Transfer pricing means that multinational companies artificially increase or overwhelm transaction prices, and transfer profits from high-tax areas to low-tax areas or tax avoidance areas through the affiliated enterprises in which they participate, so as to achieve the purpose of not paying taxes or paying less tax.

For the regulation of tax avoidance, my country’s tax law stipulates that business transactions between foreign-invested enterprises or institutions and sites established by foreign enterprises in China to engage in production and operation and their affiliated enterprises shall be in accordance with the rules of independent enterprises. The amount of taxable income is reduced by collecting or delivering prices and fees from business transactions between entities.
