British Virgin Islands

PRC

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on the Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”). Under the EIT Law, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standards will be applied equally to both domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises.

Under the current PRC laws, PRC government grants a preferential income tax rate of 15% to government-certified high technology companies, and under the new standard the period of validity for the certification of high technology companies is three years. In 2009 and 2012 BDL updated its certification for “high technology” company. In 2015, BDL updated its certification for “high technology” company again. Therefore, BDL used a 15% income tax rate to calculate the income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

The tax rate for BTL is 25% in 2014, 2013 and 2012.
