一文了解居民企业技术转让企业所得税政策

Core Viewpoint - The article outlines the tax policies related to technology transfer for resident enterprises, highlighting the tax exemptions and reductions applicable to technology transfer income [3][4]. Summary by Sections Technology Transfer - Technology transfer refers to the act of a resident enterprise transferring its ownership of technology or granting a global exclusive license for a period of five years or more [4]. Scope of Technology Transfer - The scope includes computer software, patent technology, copyright, integrated circuits, new plant varieties, layout design rights, and biomedicine, among others [5][6]. Tax Exemption Policy - For a tax year, if the technology transfer income does not exceed 5 million yuan, it is exempt from corporate income tax; any amount exceeding 5 million yuan is subject to a 50% reduction in corporate income tax [3][6]. Eligibility Criteria - To qualify for tax exemptions, the technology transfer must meet specific criteria, including being conducted by a resident enterprise, falling within the scope defined by the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration, and obtaining necessary recognitions from provincial-level technology departments [8]. Calculation Method - The calculation of eligible technology transfer income involves deducting the cost of technology transfer from the revenue generated from the transfer, excluding non-technical income [9][14]. Related Tax Fees - Related tax fees include all actual taxes incurred during the technology transfer process, excluding corporate income tax and allowable VAT deductions [12][17]. Important Considerations - Enterprises must separately calculate technology transfer income and reasonably allocate their period expenses to enjoy the tax benefits. Failure to do so will disqualify them from the tax exemption [20].
