Is it necessary to pay tax on the transfer of shares in the subscription company?

Legal analysis: 1. Personal income tax is required.

2. Although the equity is flawed, the shareholders still own the equity, so the equity can be transferred. However, the capital contribution obligation of shareholders who transfer defective shares does not disappear with the transfer of shares. Unless there is an agreement between the transferor and the transferee, the transferor still has the obligation to make up the capital contribution.

3. The provisions of the Measures on the income from equity transfer can be summarized as the following three aspects:

(1) Income from equity transfer refers to cash, objects, securities and other forms of economic benefits obtained by the transferor due to equity transfer.

(2) All kinds of money related to the equity transfer obtained by the transferor, including liquidated damages, compensation and other currencies, assets and rights in various names, shall be incorporated into the equity transfer income.

(3) Subsequent income obtained by taxpayers after meeting the agreed conditions according to the contract shall be regarded as income from equity transfer.
