Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the tax implications of classifying expenses as either business entertainment or business promotion, highlighting the differences in tax deductions for each category and the potential risks of misclassification [2][3]. Tax Deduction Standards - Business entertainment expenses can be deducted at 60% of the incurred amount, with a cap of 0.5% of annual sales revenue [2]. - Business promotion expenses can be deducted up to 15% of annual sales revenue, with any excess allowed to be carried forward to future tax years [2]. Example Analysis - A company with annual revenue of 20 million yuan that spends 5 million yuan on gifts for clients would classify this as business entertainment, resulting in a tax deduction of only 100,000 yuan, as it exceeds the 0.5% cap [2]. - Conversely, if the same company spends 5 million yuan on products for brand promotion, it can deduct up to 3 million yuan (15% of 20 million yuan) for tax purposes, with the remaining 2 million yuan eligible for carryover [2]. Tax Risk - Misclassifying business entertainment expenses as business promotion can lead to increased tax deductions and potential scrutiny from tax authorities, resulting in tax liabilities if discovered [3].
