2022 Tax Legislation Inventory and Tax Legislation Outlook of 2023
Taxation is related to the distribution of wealth and the livelihood of the nation, so the basic system of taxation is a matter of legislative reserve. For some time in the past, due to insufficient tax practice, the legislature authorized the State Council to formulate all kinds of temporary regulations on taxation in the form of enabling legislation.

The Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of Tax Collection and Administration issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council also explicitly require "the full implementation of the principle of tax legislation, and accelerate the promotion of the existing temporary regulations on taxation into law." This article takes stock of the various tax legislation activities in 2022 and looks forward to the tax legislation in 2023.1757Views

Real Estate Enterprises Land Increase Tax Clearance Cost Sharing Method Improperly Selected to Increase Tax Liability by Ten Million Dollars
When real estate development enterprises carry out land value-added tax (VAT) settlement, it is an important obligation of taxpayers to reasonably collect the relevant income, costs and expenses between different periods and projects as required, and it is also a key concern of the competent tax authorities in carrying out preliminary management and settlement audit. As there are differences in the amount of land value-added tax levied under different apportionment methods, and the land cost constitutes an important part of the base for enterprises to add deduction and development expenses, whether the correct cost apportionment method can be selected will have a significant impact on the tax burden of enterprises. However, as the land cost apportionment method for real estate development projects has not yet been unified at the national level, localities have autonomy in determining the apportionment method, and the decentralization and differentiation of tax policies in different regions have made it difficult for taxpayers to understand the relevant policies and carry out tax-related operations, which has led to many disputes between taxpayers and enterprises in determining the land cost apportionment method.2290Views

Case Study: Analyzing the Five Major Tax Risks of Invoicing
Invoice is an important document to prove the real occurrence of economic activities. For the purchaser of goods or services, invoice is the statutory pre-tax deduction document for enterprise income tax, and VAT special invoice is the basis for VAT input deduction. Under the business forms of flexible employment and individual transportation, individuals, as providers of goods or services, usually need to apply to the tax bureau for issuing invoices on behalf of others in order to obtain invoices that meet the requirements of the purchasers and to ensure the smooth development of the transactions. In practice, due to the large number of invoices, the tax authorities will not review the application for invoicing in a substantive and comprehensive manner, which has given rise to illegal phenomena such as invoicing for fictitious business, and there are many risks for both the individuals applying for invoicing and the enterprises receiving the invoices.

Power industry tax audits tighten, four major tax-related risks should be concerned about
As a national pillar industry, the electric power industry plays an important role in economic construction, social development, financial taxation and national defense construction, etc. However, at the same time, factors such as heavy taxes and low profits objectively restrict the healthy development of electric power enterprises. Due to the insufficient acquisition of front-end VAT credit vouchers and other reasons, the VAT tax burden of electric power enterprises is heavy. As for enterprise income tax, incomplete cost vouchers in the process of raw material procurement lead to the corresponding costs not being able to be deducted normally, which in turn leads to the increase in enterprise income tax burden. In addition to the two major taxes mentioned above, power enterprises are highly susceptible to tax-related risks either due to inaccurate application of tax incentives or lack of necessary understanding of minor taxes such as environmental protection tax. This article is intended to reveal the possible tax-related risks faced by the electric power industry in order to alert the relevant taxpayers so as not to fall into legal risks.1741Views
