TOPIC: New Chinese indirect offshore disposal rules (Announcement 7) and impact on M&A
On 3 February 2015, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation (SAT) issued the long-awaited Announcement 7, replacing the PRC’s indirect offshore equity disposal reporting and taxation rules in Circular 698 promulgated in 2009, with a substantially new and more comprehensive approach.
We will discuss how SAT's Announcement 7 may impact the operations and developments of private equity investments as well as M&A deals in China, particularly regarding:
- Who’s affected?
- What needs to be done and by whom?
- What are the likely impacts on M&A deals? and
- What are the main differences from Circular 698?
