The Chinese government began the process of reforming its tax law in 1979 as a means of encouraging foreign investment and stimulating economic growth. Income tax law changes regarding foreign business enterprises and Chinese-international joint ventures were initially instituted and adjustments to that law were made in 1991. Encouragement of foreign direct investment through the system of taxation was an important part of China's overall economic policy.

Implications of the international use of interest rate derivatives on taxation

Article Abstract:

Tax provisions in many Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries are aimed at the potential abuses of trading internationally in interest rate derivatives. Reference to the range of tax consequences of German and US laws is useful. Uniformity in international tax treatment of these derivatives would eliminate the valuation differences which increase cases of double and minimum taxation.
