Although the profits have not caught up with these large enterprises, the tax payment of Huawei enterprises far exceeds that of Tencent and other large enterprises. Why? Let's take a look at the achievements of these companies last year: last year, Huawei achieved revenue of 894,654.38 billion yuan, and after deducting costs, its net profit was 64.6 billion yuan.
Relatively speaking, Tencent achieved revenue of 482,654.38+0 billion yuan. Although this figure is not as good as Huawei's, Tencent's profit far exceeds Huawei's, reaching 65.438+59.8 billion yuan. Alibaba's situation is similar to Tencent's, with revenue of 509.7 billion and net profit of 654.38+049.3 billion.
Judging from the figures of these three companies last year, Huawei apparently made the most money, but the profit was the lowest. Even in this case, Huawei became the leader of the three companies with a tax payment of 10 1 100 million yuan. Alibaba paid 36.6 billion yuan in taxes and Tencent paid more than 20 billion yuan in taxes.
From the perspective of tax payment, it is indeed an interesting phenomenon. Huawei has the least net income, but its tax payment is five times that of Tencent and Alibaba. Why is this happening? The main reason is that their places of registration are different, so the requirements and conditions for tax payment are different.
Tencent and Ali enterprises are registered in the same place-Cayman Islands, a place called "tax haven". The Cayman Islands won this reputation because all enterprises registered here not only have simple registration procedures, but also need to pay a small amount of management fees every year, so there is no so-called corporate income tax and personal income tax.
Huawei, a patriotic enterprise, insists on choosing China as its place of registration, and the sum of corporate income tax and personal income tax it needs to pay each year is not a small expense. Because Cayman Islands has such advantages, a large number of companies are registered here every year.
According to statistics, by the end of 2020, there were more than 1 10000 companies registered here. Sina, 360 and other well-known domestic companies are registered in Cayman Islands. Their registration mode is mainly divided into five layers: family companies on the first and second floors and listed companies on the second floor are registered in Cayman Islands, shell companies on the third floor are registered in Hong Kong, and investment and operation companies on the fourth and fifth floors are registered in China.
Such a well-defined registration model can effectively avoid tax. Only the third-tier shell companies need to pay 5% income tax, and the rest of the income goes to the first-tier and second-tier parent companies. As a manufacturing enterprise, Huawei needs to invest a lot of money and time in the R&D process to recruit talents and develop technologies.
According to gossip, Huawei has more than 10,000 researchers and dozens of mathematicians from Russia. In 20 15 years, because of the high research cost, it directly entered the top ten of the "enterprises with the highest research cost in the world". It can be seen that Huawei invests a lot in R&D every year.
Therefore, although Huawei has made a lot of income, after deducting these costs, Huawei's net profit can't catch up with Tencent, Ali and other enterprises. Tencent's revenue mainly comes from advertisements and games and some value-added services of qq social software. Tencent can only maintain high social traffic if it completes daily maintenance.
Therefore, from the perspective of cost, the cost of Tencent is far less than that of Huawei. Plus the game industry is a "profiteering" industry. Once, a game in the glory of the king brought more than 1 100 million yuan to Tencent in one day. The cost of the internet industry does not need much, and companies like Tencent can easily achieve high income.
According to conservative estimates, the profitability of Internet companies like Tencent should be above 80%, which is not comparable to Huawei, which is engaged in manufacturing. For a hardware company like Huawei, every link of R&D needs investment. Whether it is employee salary, equipment depreciation or post-marketing, the cost input is huge.
The cost of internet companies is mainly concentrated in three major sectors: manpower, marketing and hardware. In contrast, the cost gap between the two is very large.
In fact, as early as 20 17, Huawei's revenue reached 603.6 billion yuan. In terms of revenue, Tencent has only 237.76 billion, and Huawei has achieved more revenue than Ali and Tencent combined. But in terms of profit, Huawei lags far behind Tencent and Ali enterprises.
Hardware companies not only have higher costs than internet companies, but also have fewer ways to make money than internet companies. Hardware mainly focuses on product sales, but Internet companies can do it together through advertising, games and entertainment. Therefore, it is not easy for Huawei to achieve such results, and it pays so many taxes for our country every year, which deserves our applause.
