Posted On January 2023

Top among the concerns you may have setting up a business in China, is how you are going to send profits back to your parent company. There are a few main paths to remitting profits, such as dividends, intercompany transactions, and offshore loans.

In this short, six-minute video Hannah Feng, Tax Partner in Beijing, discusses using dividend payments to send money back to the parent company including how they work, the implications of this method, and withholding tax.
