2. Non-resident enterprise shareholders – A 10% PRC enterprise income tax will be withheld in accordance with Guo Shui Han [2008] No. 897 and related regulations. – Entities such as HKSCC Nominees Limited and other institutional nominees are deemed non-resident enterprises. – Eligible enterprises may apply for a tax refund under relevant tax treaties or arrangements after receiving the dividend.
