Group 1: Pre-sale Deposits and Final Payments - In the case of pre-sale deposits and final payments, the deposit is ¥60.00, and the final payment can be made on October 30 at 20:00, potentially using promotional discounts.

When discounts are applied, if the sales amount and discount amount are separately indicated on the same invoice, VAT is levied on the discounted sales amount. If the discount is issued on a separate invoice, it cannot be deducted from the sales amount [4]. Group 3: Trade-in Programs - In trade-in scenarios, the estimated discount is ¥83. The final price after applying a 10% coupon is approximately ¥1166.16. For trade-in sales, the sales amount should be determined based on the market price of the new goods. For gold and silver jewelry trade-ins, VAT is levied on the actual price received excluding VAT [5]. Group 4: Returns and Quality Issues - The article also addresses scenarios involving returns and refunds, including reasons such as incorrect size selection or dissatisfaction, with a 7-day no-reason return policy. Refunds can be negotiated based on mutual agreement or quality discrepancies [6].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the tax treatment of various promotional activities conducted by companies, including discounts, "buy one get one free" offers, and pre-sale arrangements, emphasizing the importance of proper income recognition and tax obligations. Group 1: Tax Treatment of Discounts - For value-added tax (VAT), if the sales amount and discount amount are separately indicated on the same invoice, VAT can be levied on the discounted sales amount. If the discount is only noted in the remarks section, it cannot be deducted from the sales amount [1]. - For corporate income tax, discounts given to promote sales are considered commercial discounts, and the sales income should be determined based on the amount after deducting these discounts [1].

Group 3: Pre-sale Arrangements - For VAT, the tax obligation arises on the day the goods are dispatched. However, for large machinery, ships, and aircraft with a production cycle exceeding 12 months, the obligation occurs on the date of receiving prepayments or as per the written contract [4][5]. - For corporate income tax, income should be recognized when the goods are dispatched, regardless of the pre-sale arrangement [4][5].

Concept - Operating lease refers to the business activity of transferring the use of tangible or intangible assets to others for a specified period without changing the ownership of the leased property. It can be categorized into tangible asset operating leases and real estate operating leases [2] - Financing lease is defined as a leasing activity that has financing characteristics and ownership transfer features, where the lessor purchases the asset based on the lessee's specifications and the ownership remains with the lessor during the lease term [5] - Financial sale-leaseback refers to a business activity where the lessee sells an asset to a financing leasing company for financing purposes and then leases it back from the same company [6] Tax Treatment - For operating leases, the tax category is sales service under modern services, and the tax obligation arises when the rental service is provided [8] - Financing leases also have tax obligations that arise when the taxable behavior occurs and payment is received [9] - For financial sale-leaseback, the tax category is sales service under financial services, and the tax obligation arises similarly to operating leases [10] Tax Rates - The general tax rate for tangible asset leasing is 13%, while for real estate leasing, it is 9% [11] - Small-scale taxpayers can choose a simplified tax rate of 3% for tangible asset leasing and 5% for real estate leasing [11][12] Tax Incentives - Approved financing leasing companies can benefit from a VAT refund policy if their actual tax burden exceeds 3% [15] - Small-scale taxpayers are not eligible for the immediate refund policy [16] Corporate Income Tax and Accounting Treatment - For operating leases, rental expenses can be deducted evenly over the lease term according to the Corporate Income Tax Law [24] - Under new accounting standards, lessees must recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, leading to potential tax and accounting differences [30][32] - For financing leases, the lessee can deduct depreciation expenses based on the value of the leased asset, while the lessor cannot deduct depreciation for leased assets [39][40] Case Studies - A case study illustrates the accounting treatment for a company leasing an office building, highlighting the differences in tax treatment under old and new standards [28][29] - Another case study demonstrates the financial sale-leaseback process, showing how the lessee retains the asset on their balance sheet while recognizing a financial liability [48][50]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the tax implications of rebates received by commercial enterprises from production companies, emphasizing the need for proper accounting of value-added tax (VAT) in these transactions [4][6][8]. Group 1: Tax Regulations - According to the National Taxation Bureau's notification, commercial enterprises must reduce their VAT input tax based on rebates received from suppliers, which are linked to sales volume or sales amount [4][5]. - Production enterprises must calculate VAT on the total sales amount without deducting the rebate portion beforehand. Only when the rebate occurs can they issue a red invoice to offset the output tax [6][8]. Group 2: Example Case - An example is provided where a car dealership (Company A) has a procurement contract with a car manufacturer (Company B). The procurement price is set at 100,000 yuan per vehicle, with a rebate of 10,000 yuan per vehicle if sales exceed 50 units per month [10]. - In January, if Company A sells 100 vehicles, the total rebate received in February would amount to 1,000,000 yuan, which needs to be accounted for in their VAT calculations [11].
