​ A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when the Group determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. In making such determination, the Group evaluates a variety of factors including the Group’s operating history, retained earnings, existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods. As of December 31, 2024, the group has incurred accumulated tax losses of RMB 417 million, increased from RMB 408 million as of December 31, 2023. The tax losses of the Group expire over different times intervals depending on local jurisdiction. As Beijing Duoke is recognized as HNTE, according to tax legislation released in 2018, the expiration year for tax losses has been extended from five years to ten years. Of these net tax losses carryforwards, RMB 54 million, RMB 53 million, RMB 51 million, RMB 28 million and RMB 231 million will expire in 2025, 2026, 2027,2028 and after 2028, respectively, if not utilized. As of December 31, 2024, the Group has provided valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets amounted to RMB 93 million as the Group believes that it is more likely than not that such net accumulated tax losses and deductible temporary differences will not be utilized in the future. Withholding income tax The EIT Law imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a foreign investment enterprise (“FIE”) to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding company’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Such withholding income tax was exempted under the previous EIT Law. The Cayman Islands, where the Company is incorporated, does not have such a tax treaty with China. According to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion in August 2006, dividends paid by a FIE in China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate that may be lowered to 5% (if the foreign investor owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE). The State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) further promulgated Circular [2009] 601 and SAT Public Notice [2018] No.9 regarding the assessment criteria on beneficial owner status. The Group did not record any dividend withholding tax, as the Group’s FIE, the WFOE, has no retained earnings in any of the periods presented. ​
