NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is a Nevada corporation and conducts all of its business through its Chinese subsidiaries, which solely operate in the PRC. As the Company is a U.S. holding company, it did not generate any revenues for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and therefore there was no income tax provision or benefit for U.S. income tax purpose.

 

The Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and are subject to statutory income tax rate of 25%. For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the income tax provision for the Company was $10 and $203, respectively.

 

On February 22, 2008, the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) and the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) jointly issued CaiShui [2008] Circular 1 (“Circular 1”). According to Article 4 of Circular 1, distributions of accumulated profits earned by a Foreign Invested Entity (“FIE”) prior to January 1, 2008 to foreign investor(s) in 2008 or after will be exempt from withholding tax (“WHT”) while distribution of the profit earned by an FIE after January 1, 2008 to its foreign investor(s) shall be subject to WHT. Since the Company intends to reinvest its earnings to further expand its businesses in mainland China, its foreign invested enterprises do not intend to declare dividends to their immediate foreign holding companies in the foreseeable future.
