Core Viewpoint - The article provides guidance on how to fill out the "Employee Compensation" sections in the new version of the Corporate Income Tax Prepayment Declaration Form (A Class) effective from October 1, 2025, specifically focusing on "Employee Compensation - Included in Cost" and "Employee Compensation - Actual Payments to Employees" [10][11][20]. Group 1: Employee Compensation - Included in Cost - This section requires reporting the total employee compensation that has been accounted for in cost expenses, including salary payments, employee benefits, education expenses, union fees, various social security contributions, housing funds, supplementary pension insurance, and supplementary medical insurance [11][22]. - The data to be filled in this section should reflect the cumulative amount from January to September of the reporting year [14][19]. Group 2: Employee Compensation - Actual Payments to Employees - This section involves reporting the cumulative amount of salary payments recorded under the "Employee Compensation" account, specifically the debit amounts [12][22]. - Similar to the previous section, the data should also represent the cumulative figures from January to September [14][19]. Group 3: Special Cases and Clarifications - For non-independent branches, there is no need to report the "Employee Compensation - Included in Cost" and "Employee Compensation - Actual Payments to Employees" sections [15]. - When a consolidated entity submits the declaration, it must include the total compensation data from both the head office and branches [16]. - The inclusion of one-time severance payments in the "Actual Payments to Employees" section should be determined according to accounting standards [18].
