Q:
|
My company signed a new biotechnology transfer agreement of 16.5 million yuan with company A this year, in which income from transfer of non-tech, such as equipment and instrument, is 2 million yuan, and the cost of transfer of this technology is 10 million yuan, among which the tax expenses and apportioned period expenditure are 200,000 yuan. What is the reduction and exemption of income from technology transfer my company should declare?
|
A:
|
Income from technology transfer
= technology transfer income – cost of technology transfer – taxes – period expenses
= (16.5 – 2) – (10 – 1.2) - 0.2
= 5.5 million yuan
The exempted income from technology transfer is 5 million yuan.
Reduction of technology transfer
= (income from technology transfer – exemption amount) × 50%
= (5.5 – 5) × 50%
= 0.25 million yuan
= 25,000 yuan
Based on the above calculation, your company may enjoy exemption of 5 million yuan and reduction of 25,000 yuan from EIT. The total exemption and reduction of technology transfer income are 5.25 million yuan.
