Would you please give the general introduction of the business tax?

納稅人：我公司馬上就要營業(yè)了，能介紹一下營業(yè)稅的知識嗎?

Taxpayer： my company will begin business soon， but I have little knowledge about the business tax. Can you introduce it?

稅務局：盡我所能吧!一般地說，提供應稅業(yè)務、轉讓無形資產(chǎn)和出賣不動產(chǎn)都要交納營業(yè)稅。

Tax official： I will try my best. Generally speaking ，the business tax is levied on the taxable service ，the transfer of intangible asset and sale of the immovable property within china .

納稅人：什么是應稅業(yè)務?

Taxpayer： what do you mean by the taxable services?

稅務局：稅法有明確的規(guī)定。比如交通運輸、建筑安裝、金融保險等。不包括加工、修理、修配業(yè)務，因為它們要繳增值稅。

Tax official： they are the definite items stipulated by the law， such as the transportation， construction， finance ， insurance and the like .they do not include the processing， repairs， and replacement services， for they are subject to the value added tax.

納稅人：不動產(chǎn)好理解，無形資產(chǎn)指什么?

納稅人：計稅收入如何確定?

稅務局：大多數(shù)情況下指全部價款包括價外費用。

Tax official： in most case， it is the total consideration received， including additional fees and charges.

納稅人：預收的價款也計算在內(nèi)嗎?

Taxpayer： does that include the turnover received in advance?

稅務局：對于無形資產(chǎn)和不動產(chǎn)是這樣。

Tax official： yes， it does in the case of transfer of the intangible assets or immovable property .

納稅人：無償贈送吶?

Taxpayer： and what about the donation?

稅務局：不動產(chǎn)的無償贈送要視同銷售，不過計稅額要經(jīng)過核定。

Tax official： the donation is taxable in the case of transfer of the immovable property. But the turnover will be assessed by the tax authority.

Taxpayer： what can we do if we receive turnover in the form of foreign currency?
