Under such circumstances, some companies not to reduce wage expenditure in full deduction of the additional tax burden and take a variety of illegal modifications to deduct the way, if a shopping card concentrated way of deduction of consumption, some to have been staff salaries are interested in spending included in the scope of deduction under some other names, this should be the wages of housing subsidies, subsidies for vehicles have changed, communications subsidies not included in wages and salaries, the other on behalf of deduction. These acts distort the true face of economic activity, also increased the cost of tax administration.

It is understood that the Administration of Taxation has asked the tax authorities at all levels to implement this policy to the relevant enterprises at the same time, seriously measured July 1 this year since the implementation of the new wage policy after tax for each taxpayer to pay the specific impact of corporate income tax , in September -12 taxpayers on a monthly basis (quarterly) to declare in advance when the corporate income tax to ensure that on July -12 provisions to implement the new policy in place.
