China Specific Tax Rules
Prior to 2009, China generally followed OECD Guidelines. New guidelines were announced by the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) in March 2008 and issued in January 2009. The new rules continue to apply to domestic and international transactions. These guidelines differ materially in approach from those in other countries in two principal ways: 1) they are guidelines issued instructing field offices how to conduct transfer pricing examinations and adjustments, and 2) factors to be examined differ by transfer pricing method. The guidelines cover:
- Administrative matters
- Required taxpayer filings and documentation
- General transfer pricing principles, including comparability
- Guidelines on how to conduct examinations
- Advance pricing and cost sharing agreement administration
- Controlled foreign corporation examinations
- Thin capitalization
- General anti-avoidance

“Whether the nymph shall break Diana’s law,

Or stain her honour, or her new brocade,”

“Patriotism is proud of a country’s virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country’s virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, “the greatest,” but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
“To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Now for civil service reform. Legislation must be prepared and executive rules and maxims. We must limit and narrow the area of patronage. We must diminish the evils of office-seeking. We must stop interference of federal officers with elections. We must be relieved of congressional dictation as to appointments.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
