  • Business Tax (BT) base on quarterly operational expenses;
  • Income Tax (IT) base on quarterly operational expenses;
  • Additional Tax base on quarterly Business Tax (BT).
Rough elaboration on BT & IT payable
  • Business Tax = Deemed Turnover x 5%
    Total Expenses = Deemed Turnover x 80%
    Deemed Turnover = Total Expenses / 80%
    Business Tax = (Total Expenses / 80%) x 5%
    Income Tax = Deemed Profit x 25%
    Deemed Profit = Deemed Turnover x 15%
    Income Tax = (Total Expenses / 80%) x 15% x 25%
    Business Tax + Income Tax = (Total Expenses / 80%) x (5% + 15% x 25%)
    Business Tax + Income Tax = (Total Expenses / 80%) x 8.75%
    Therefore, Business Tax + Income Tax = Total Expenses x 11%
Additional Tax
  1. River Tax = Business Tax x 1%
    Urban Maintenance and Construction Tax = Business Tax x 7%
