• Attribution Regimes - The Company is a controlled foreign corporation as you control it. Attribution is, therefore, possible in relation to any tainted or passive income, unless the active income test is passed.
• Dividend – If active income test is passed, you will need to include dividend received from the Chinese Company as assessable foreign income in your personal tax returns.
• Foreign income tax offsets –foreign income tax offsets will be available.
• Deductibility - Deduction will be available if they are incurred in gaining the dividend, such as interest expense.
• CGT issue - If you want to sell the shares in Chinese company, the amount of the capital gain or loss is included in tyour personal tax returns. |
