After the revision of the declaration form: ten different types of enterprises, each with its own emphasis.

A few days ago, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China issued the Announcement on Revising the Annual Tax Return of Enterprise Income Tax (State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China Announcement No.24, 2020, hereinafter referred to as Announcement No.24), which revised some forms and filling instructions of the annual tax return of enterprise income tax. The author reminds,When reporting the final settlement of enterprise income tax in 2020, ten different types of enterprises have different concerns at the practical level..
Enterprises in five major industries that are greatly affected by the epidemic: Focus on the changes in the List of Enterprise Income Tax to Make Up for Losses (A106000).
In 2020, according to the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on supporting the prevention and control of the epidemic situation in COVID-19 and the enterprises’ resumption of work and production, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation actively assisted the enterprises in industries greatly affected by the epidemic situation to resume work and production, and issued a number of enterprise income tax policies. Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on supporting the tax policies related to the prevention and control of pneumonia infected in novel coronavirus (Announcement No.8 of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation in 2020, hereinafter referred to as Announcement No.8) and Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the tax and fee support policies for industries such as movies (Announcement No.25 of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation in 2020) stipulate that the five major industries enterprises that are greatly affected by the epidemic are transportation, catering, accommodation and tourism.
In the revision of this declaration form, the fifth column "Loss amount transferred from merger and division-8 years can be compensated" was added in the Detailed List of Compensation for Losses of Enterprise Income Tax (A106000). At the same time, the code table of "Enterprise Types for Compensation for Losses" was updated, and options such as "Enterprises in industries affected by the epidemic" and "Enterprises in the film industry" were added. According to Article 10 of the Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on Supporting the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Infected by novel coronavirus (State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China Announcement No.4, 2020), enterprises in difficult industries that are greatly affected by the epidemic should apply the policy of extending the carrying-over period of losses, and should submit the Policy Statement on Applying the Extension of Carrying-over Period of Losses through the Electronic Taxation Bureau when the enterprise income tax is settled in 2020.
Enterprises producing key materials for epidemic prevention and control: Focus on the changes in the List of Assets Depreciation, Amortization and Tax Adjustment (A105080).
Announcement No.8 stipulates that the related equipment newly purchased by the key materials production enterprises for epidemic prevention and control in order to expand production capacity is allowed to be deducted from the current cost before enterprise income tax. Previously, the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Policy of Deducting Enterprise Income Tax on Equipment and Appliances (Cai Shui [2018] No.54) stipulated that the newly purchased equipment and appliances of enterprises with a unit value of no more than 5 million yuan were allowed to be deducted once before tax. On this basis, Announcement No.8 made it clear that the newly purchased related equipment with a unit value of more than 5 million yuan by the key materials production enterprises for epidemic prevention and control can also be deducted once before tax.
In the revision of this declaration form, the 12th line of the List of Assets Depreciation, Amortization and Tax Adjustment (A105080) was added "One-time deduction of equipment with a unit price of more than 5 million yuan for key materials for epidemic prevention and control", which facilitated the declaration of key materials for epidemic prevention and control.
Enterprises with three types of public welfare donation expenditure: Focus on the changes in the List of Donation Expenditure and Tax Adjustment (A105070).
The first category: public welfare donation expenditure for responding to the COVID-19 epidemic. Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Supporting the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Infected in novel coronavirus (Announcement No.9 of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, 2020) stipulates that cash and articles donated by enterprises through public welfare social organizations or state organs such as people’s governments at or above the county level and their departments are allowed to be deducted in full when calculating taxable income; Enterprises directly donate articles to hospitals that undertake epidemic prevention and control tasks to deal with the pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus, allowing full deduction when calculating taxable income.
Category II: Expenditure on funds, materials and services sponsored and donated by Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Winter Paralympics and Test Tournaments. The Notice of the General Administration of Customs of the State Administration of Taxation of the Ministry of Finance on the Tax Policies for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics (Caishui [2017] No.60) stipulates that the expenses of funds, materials and services sponsored and donated by enterprises, social organizations and groups for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Paralympics and test matches shall be fully deducted when calculating the taxable income of enterprises. Although this is not a new policy, it is the first time to fill in the List of Donation Expenditure and Tax Adjustment (A105070) as a special item.
Category III: Expenditure on funds, materials and services sponsored and donated by Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, Asian Para Games and their test matches. The Announcement of the General Administration of Customs of the State Administration of Taxation of the Ministry of Finance on the Tax Policy of Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games and Asian Para Games (Announcement No.18 of the Ministry of Finance, 2020) stipulates that the funds, materials and service expenditures sponsored and donated by enterprises, social organizations and groups for Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games and Asian Para Games and their test matches shall be fully deducted when calculating the taxable income of enterprises.
The revision of this declaration form has optimized the form structure of the List of Donation Expenditure and Tax Adjustment (A105070). For the part of "Full Deducted Donation for Public Welfare", by filling in the "Project" code from line 8 to line 10, it meets the requirements of "Donation for Poverty Alleviation", "Donation for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Paralympic Winter Games and Test Tournament", "Donation for Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games" and "Support for novel coronavirus infection". If a taxpayer has more than one project, he can add the number of lines to fill in.
It should be reminded that the enterprise’s donation to support the prevention and control of pneumonia infected in novel coronavirus is divided into two situations: one is to donate through public welfare social organizations or state organs; The other is to donate directly to hospitals that undertake the task of epidemic prevention and control. These two expenditures must be reported separately by enterprises. At the same time, in addition to donating materials directly to hospitals undertaking epidemic prevention and control tasks, the donation acceptance letter issued by medical institutions can be used as the pre-tax deduction voucher, and the donation bills obtained from other types of donations must meet the requirements of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation and the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Relevant Matters Concerning Pre-tax Deduction of Public Welfare Donations (Announcement No.27 of the Ministry of Finance, 2020).
