Q:When we pay to the overseas company who provide service for us, how to make sure the payee can recieve the money just is the invoice amount?
A:payment to overseas company commonly involves below taxes:
1. VAT tax: the rate is 6%.
2. Enterprise income tax. The rate commonly is range from 0 to 10% which is given by the tax office based on the business nature.
3. Stamp tax if the agreement is stamped liability agreement. For example techology service agreement and so on. Not all agreement need to pay stamp tax.
According to the tax regulation, the above 3 taxes should be undertaken by the overseas company. However some oversea companies may not agree to deduct the taxes from their payment. Then how to ensure the overseas payee can receive the amount just is the amount in the invoice?
The way is very simple, if the payment company accept to undertake the taxes: Just the payee points the amount in the agreement and in the invoice is the amount after deduction all the related tax (net amount).
And the accountant will use this amount to adjust the base of the tax calculation, the company pay to the payee the amount in the invoice.
