Affiliated transactions are common transactions between group companies, and business transactions such as equity transfer, capital lending and borrowing, and purchase and sale of goods or services between affiliated enterprises are relatively common. At present, China's legislation on anti-avoidance procedures between related enterprises is mainly based on the field of cross-border related transactions, and has already formed a more professional and complete methodology as well as handling procedures, but how to investigate and adjust related transactions of domestic enterprises has not yet been formed into clear provisions. In practice, there are certain disputes on whether the special tax adjustment procedures can be applied to domestic connected transactions, and there are different views on whether the transactions between connected entities with the same effective tax burden in China can not be adjusted. Based on the recent case of a listed company's subsidiaries being adjusted to pay back tax, the author analyzes the common controversial issues of domestic connected transactions and puts forward risk prevention suggestions.

It is a common structural arrangement for most enterprises to implement equity incentive to build a shareholding platform through partnerships, limited liability companies and other organizational forms. The shareholding platform has great advantages in controlling the number of direct shareholders, ensuring the founder's control rights and improving the convenience of changes in equity. In addition, in the past, some places adopted the approved levy policy for shareholding platforms, which greatly reduced the tax burden compared with direct shareholding. However, in recent years, there have been cases of tax evasion by using the approved collection policy to split income and transfer profits. The "tax depression" formed based on the approved collection policy has also been controversial because of its lack of legal basis, undermining fair competition in the market and leading to competition for tax sources. In 2021, in the interpretation of Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of Tax Collection and Management, State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China Inspection Bureau pointed out that the use of "tax depressions" to evade taxes was one of the key areas to be cracked down. At the end of 2021, the Announcement on the Collection and Management of Personal Income Tax from Equity Investment Management made it clear that all equity investment partnerships are subject to audit and collection, and recently, auditing and taxation departments have also clearly put forward the "small policy" to clean up the irregularities in attracting investment. Based on the aforementioned collection and management situation, the application space of the approved collection policy has been tightened, and the tax burden advantage of building a shareholding platform through partnerships and limited liability companies is no longer available. Therefore, in recent years, there have been many transactions that cancel the shareholding platform and change to direct shareholding. In the cancellation of shareholding platforms such as partnerships or limited liability companies, many issues such as whether the non-trading transfer of shares requires tax, and the joint liability of shareholders when the cancelled enterprises owe taxes have caused heated discussions. Based on two cases of dismantling the shareholding platform, this paper analyzes the tax liability and tax-related risks of non-transaction transfer for readers' reference.
