SAT released Circular Guoshuifa [2009] No.124, entitled "the Administrative Measures for Treatments on Income of Non-Residents under Double Tax Agreements (Trial)" to set forth the comprehensive administrative procedures for applying and claiming treaty benefits / treatments by foreign taxpayers and their withholding agents in China.  Very detailed information disclosure and review procedures are required in the relevant applications.
   
In this 1 hour webcast, we shared with you our observations and suggestions:

• Introduce the background and key messages of Circular 124 (e.g. How to apply and obtain treaty benefits? Penalty for non-compliance, etc.);
• What are the key implications to foreign companies deriving China-source income and their withholding agents? How does it affect your existing investment structures? and
• Our observations and suggestions: What are the immediate and future actions that need to be taken by foreign companies and individuals deriving China-source income eligible for tax treaty benefits?
