C 投资额:2000万元 Investment: 20M 投资额:1000万元 Investment:10M 实体 A Entity A 生产经营所得: 3600万元 Operating income :36M • 假设 Assumption • 2010年初,外国企业B和中国企业C分别投资2000万元和1000万元设立中国实体A, 双方约定由企业C进行实体A的日常经营管理, 企业B不参与管理 • At the beginning of 2010, overseas Co. B and domestic Co. C invested 20M and 10M respectively in domestic Entity A. Both parties mutually agree that entity A shall be managed by Co. C, while Co. C does not participate in the management of Entity A. • 2015年,扣除成本、费用和损失后, 中国实体A取得生产经营所得3600万元 • In 2015, Entity A receives net operating income of 36M after deducting cost, expenses and losses • 企业B、企业C于2015年底按投资比例从实体A取得利润(假设无需提取公积金) • Co.

  27. 模式1 : 外资有限合伙 Module 1 : FI LPE 企业 B Co. B 境外 Overseas 企业 C Co. C 境内 PRC 投资额:2000万元 Investment: 20M 投资额:1000万元 Investment:10M 有限合伙 A FI LPE A 生产经营所得: 3600万元 Operating income :36M *假设企业B为有限合伙人, 现行税法未明确规定对企业B如何征税; 我们认为, 参考非法人中外合作创投企业纳税实践, 税务机关可能要求企业B按10%缴纳预提所得税 Assuming Co. B is a LP, currently no clear tax rule regarding how Co. B is taxed. In our experience, with reference to practice of Foreign Invested Venture Capitals with non-legal-person status, tax authority might request Co. B to pay WHT at 10% * *假设企业C为普通合伙人 Assuming Co. C is a GP 27

  28. 模式2 : 非法人制中外合作企业 Module 2 : CJV with Non-legal-person Status 企业 B Co. B 境外 Overseas 境内 PRC 企业 C Co. C 投资额:2000万元 Investment: 20M 投资额:1000万元 Investment:10M 非法人制中外合作企业A CJV A with non-legal-person status 生产经营所得: 3600万元 Operating income :36M 28 *假设企业B为有限合伙人 (Assuming Co.B is a LP) * *假设企业C为普通合伙人(Assuming Co.C is a GP)

  30. 税负比较 Tax Liabilities Comparison 结论：从纳税筹划考虑,有限合伙企业和非法人制中外合作企业模式可能被采用, 但因目前涉及有限合伙及非法人制中外合作税务法规不健全, 投资者应注意与投资当地税务机关沟通！ Conclusion: From tax planning perspective, LPE or CJV with non-legal-person status could be considered. However, due to lack of detailed tax rules on LPE and CJV with non-legal person status, investors should effectively communicate with the local authorities! 30
