How is withholding tax defined in China?
Withholding tax is levied on passive income – such as dividends, interests, royalties, bonuses, other equity investment gains, rentals, transfer of property – received by non-resident enterprises from China. It is levied at a rate of 10 percent. This can be reduced for countries that have entered into double tax avoidance agreements with China.
