《金融时报》记者了解到，近期有纳税人收到了税务部门通知，告知其需要依法办理境外所得申报并缴纳相应税款。 有的纳税人表示，自己在境外投资股票，并且单笔交易有赚有亏，不知是否应该缴纳税款。有的纳税人纠结于境外股票交易的盈亏核算方式，特别是长期 持股产生的亏损能否抵扣其他收入。 "根据我国个人所得税法，个人股票交易所得属于财产转让所得，应当适用20%的税率按次征收。其中，个人在境内二级市场的股票交易所得暂免征收个 人所得税；在境外直接进行股票交易所得没有免税规定，需要在取得所得的次年申报纳税。"吉林财经大学税务学院院长张巍解释说。 据悉，对境外直接进行股票交易所得征税，是美国、德国、澳大利亚等主要经济体及大部分发展中国家的通行做法。对于境外股票交易属于财产转让，我 国按次计征，简单来讲，就是转让一次股票，就需要按照当次转让所得缴纳个人所得税。 但股票交易可能涉及多次，并且有亏有赚，这时应该如何计税？《金融时报》记者在采访中了解到，股票交易频次高、价格波动大，如果按每笔交易计税 且不允许抵扣亏损的话，税负较重，计算难度也比较大。因此，为了更加合理的征收，我国税务部门在征管时，允许纳税人按照纳税年度盈亏相抵，但不 允许 ...

Core Viewpoint - Recent notifications from tax authorities require taxpayers to declare and pay taxes on overseas income, particularly from stock trading, which raises questions about tax obligations and calculation methods [1][2]. Taxation on Overseas Stock Trading - According to China's individual income tax law, income from stock trading is classified as capital gains and is subject to a 20% tax rate. Unlike domestic stock trading, which is currently exempt from personal income tax, overseas stock trading does not have such exemptions and must be declared in the following year after income is earned [1]. - Taxpayers are allowed to offset gains and losses from overseas stock trading within the same tax year, but cross-year loss offsets are not permitted under current regulations [2][3]. Tax System Comparison - Other countries, such as the US, Germany, and Australia, also tax overseas stock trading, but they often employ a progressive tax rate system that can exceed China's flat 20% rate. China's tax system combines both comprehensive and classified approaches, allowing for annual calculation of gains and losses [3]. Regulatory Measures and Compliance - The tax authorities are enhancing oversight of overseas income taxation as part of broader efforts to promote fairness and common prosperity. The implementation of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) allows for automatic exchange of tax information, enabling authorities to identify underreported overseas income [3][4]. - Recent cases from tax departments in regions like Hubei and Shandong highlight the proactive measures taken against taxpayers who fail to declare overseas income, resulting in significant penalties and back taxes [4][6].

Core Viewpoint - The recent tax policy change regarding the taxation of interest income from government bonds may impact investment returns, particularly for institutional investors, while individual investors are largely unaffected due to existing exemptions [1][9]. Tax Policy Impact - A new tax policy effective from August 8 reinstates value-added tax (VAT) on interest income from newly issued government bonds, local bonds, and financial bonds, which had previously been exempt [1][3]. - The VAT rates are set at 6% for self-operated bank investments and 3% for asset management institutions [3]. Individual Investor Considerations - Individual investors are exempt from VAT on bond interest income as long as their monthly interest does not exceed 100,000 yuan, which is unlikely for most households given the current bond interest rates [5]. - Government bonds enjoy a unique advantage in personal income tax, as their interest income is exempt from personal income tax, unlike other investment vehicles such as stocks and corporate bonds [7]. Investment Appeal - In the context of declining bank interest rates and increased market volatility, government bonds remain an attractive option for individual investors due to their safety, liquidity, and tax benefits [10]. - The dual tax exemption on government bond interest enhances their competitiveness in personal financial planning, making them a stable choice for risk-averse investors [9][10].
