Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 18. INCOME TAXES Agritech and its subsidiary, State Harvest are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and are subject to taxation under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. State Harvest’s subsidiary and State Harvest’s variable interest entity, Beijing Origin and its majority owned subsidiaries (together, the “PRC entities”) were incorporated in the PRC and governed by the PRC laws. The applicable tax rate of the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) was changed from 33% to 25% on January 1, 2008, according to the Corporate Income Tax Law. The preferential tax rate previously enjoyed by the PRC entities is gradually transitioned to the new standard rate of 25% over a five-year transitional period. In addition, article 28 of the new tax law stated that the income tax rate of a “high technology” company (high-tech status) is to remain at 15%. Preferential tax treatment of Beijing Origin as “high technology” company (High-tech Status) has been agreed with the relevant tax authorities. Beijing Origin is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% which is subject to annual review. As a result of these preferential tax treatments, the reduced tax rates applicable to Beijing Origin Seed Limited for 2010, 2011 and 2012 are 15%. Had all the above tax holidays and concessions not been available, the tax charges would have been higher by RMB7,648, RMB5,226 and RMB2,012, and the basic net income (loss) per share would have been lower (higher) by RMB0.33, RMB(0.23) and RMB(0.16) for the years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012 would have been lower (higher) by RMB0.33, RMB(0.23) and RMB(0.16), respectively. The Company’s liability for income taxes includes the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties which relate to tax years still subject to review by taxing authorities. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. Until September 30, 2012, the management considered that the Company had no uncertain tax positions affected its consolidated financial position and results of operations or cash flow other than for the contingent US tax liabilities mentioned under note 21. The Company will continue to evaluate for the uncertain position in future. The estimated interest costs have been provided in the Company’s financial statements up to the year ended September 30, 2012. The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities and the major one is the China tax authority. The open tax years for examinations in China are 5 years. The provision for income taxes expenses consists of the following:
