Ernst &Young >Services>Transaction Transaction Tax - Ernst & Young - China

Transaction Tax

Every transaction has tax implications, whether it’s an acquisition, disposal, refinancing, restructuring or initial public offering. Understanding and planning for these implications can mitigate transaction risk, enhance opportunity and provide crucial negotiation insights. 

Our Transaction Tax Services comprise a worldwide network of professional advisors who can help you do just that. By combining diverse cross-border transaction experience with local tax knowledge across a broad spectrum of industry sectors, we can help you make informed decisions and navigate the tax implications of your transaction.

Because every deal has a distinct profile, we mobilize wherever needed, assembling a personalized, integrated global team to work with you throughout the transaction life cycle, from initial due diligence through post-deal implementation.

Our local teams employ a consistent approach globally to provide you with a coordinated understanding of the relevant jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary tax issues. And we can suggest structuring alternatives to balance investor sensitivities, promote exit readiness and help improve prospective earnings or cash flows — raising opportunities for improved returns on your investment.

Our integrated approach means you gain access to high-quality, globally coordinated tax advice, wherever your transaction occurs. It’s how Ernst &Young makes a difference.

Transaction Tax Alert - The new China income tax rules for corporate restructuring


The long-awaited new income tax rules for corporate restructurings (the New Rules) were released by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on 30 April 2009 and published on 7 May 2009.  The New Rules provide guidance as to the types of transactions that qualify as a restructuring, how those transactions will be taxed, and what will be required to qualify under the New Rules.  The New Rules are complex, but they represent a significant step forward for Mergers & Acquisitions and tax planning in China.  Business owners or investors should carefully consider the requirements of the New Rules when transactions impact their business.  Please download the tax alert ( pdf, 252kb) for more information.
