As one of the world’s largest recipients of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), China has been offering a favourable business environment for foreign companies in terms of facilities, infrastructure, human resources, and policy incentives. A wide range of advantageous preferential policies for foreign investors, including tax and financial incentives to facilitate foreign business operation and R&D activities, are issued and updated.
Financial incentives are rolled out to benefit both individuals and corporations, ranging from the Individual Income Tax (IIT) extension to local financial subsidies for business in pilot zones like Lingang and Hainan. To brief the European business community on the latest tax regulations and incentives, the European Chamber Shanghai Chapter invites you to join this seminar with a group of prominent speakers analysing the status quo.
