DIVIDEND WITHHOLDING TAX UNDER THE CHINA-United States TREATY (INDICATIVE)
10% — verify against the current DTA text and substance requirements before structuring.
Key points for investors from United States
- USD funding via FDI account
- Apostille since 2023 — no consular legalization
- Common entry: Delaware parent → HK holdco → WFOE
US investors: no blanket approval needed for WFOE entry; watch CFIUS-style reverse concerns only for outbound flows, plan IIT six-year rule for executives, and use the China-US DTA 10% dividend rate (verify).
