Personal income tax on interest on loans borrowed by enterprises from shareholders

Legal subjectivity:

In a tax year, if an individual investor borrows money from an enterprise (except a sole proprietorship enterprise or a partnership enterprise) that he invests in, and it is neither returned nor used for the production and operation of the enterprise after the end of the tax year, the unpaid loan can be regarded as the dividend distribution of the enterprise to the individual investor, and personal income tax is levied according to the item of "interest, dividend and dividend income". State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China also issued an announcement, emphasizing the strengthening of the management of individual investors' borrowing from their investment enterprises. Personal income tax will be levied in strict accordance with the relevant regulations on loans with a term exceeding 1 year and not used for the production and operation of enterprises.
