TV audience will always change channels during the lengthy commercial break, so, how on earth could the internet make people accept commercial information willingly? Internet marketing expert Liu Dongming has once stated that China’s internet marketing was lack of various modes, but now, things are changing silently.

Suddenly, internet ads become not so hateful.” Bian Zeheng, 28, working in Beijing, is a loyal user of online video and usually enjoys music video on major video websites. She said, “One year ago, when I watched online videos, I had to spend 10-odd minutes on waiting for the cinema advertising to pass, but now, on most online video websites, only when you pause the video will the ad appear.”

More importantly, thanks to the rapid development of internet technologies, the value of internet marketing is now improving, so users can have comparatively good using experience and accept the internet marketing in an undisturbed condition.” On the other hand, enterprises could evaluate their products and the future purchasing trend of consumers with new marketing methods like internet survey and online data analysis. Because of the huge cost advantage compared with the traditional offline methods, these new marketing methods become popular with more and more enterprises.

Large companies: Online marketing is still making progress

The “online torch relay” jointly launched by Coca Cola and Tencent was seen as one of the most successful internet marketing cases. Once the user won the qualification of online torch relay, an unlightened icon will appear beside their QQ faces. If they successfully invited other users to participate in the activity, the icon will be lightened. In a short period of 40 days since March 2008, the activity attracted 40 million people to attend, 120,000 people per second in average.

Same with Coca Cola, the internet marketing has now become the new battle field of brand development of many large companies. Compared with the single product sales, they prefer to improve their brand reputation and realize long-lasting customer relationship with internet transmission methods. Considering that in the Chinese netizen age structure, people from 18 to 24 take up the largest proportion (till the end of June 2008, and the proportion is 30.3 percent), creativity and interactivity have become the key words of the internet marketing implementation of large companies. They carry out product placement marketing with games and videos, or interactive marketing with community websites.

In February 2010, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation issued a circular entitled “Tentative Measures for the Administration of Taxation on Representative Offices of Foreign Enterprises”, to clarify and update the taxation policies with respect to representative offices (RO) in China. The circular, which applies retroactively as from 1 January 2010 and abolishes previous guidance governing RO, sets out the requirements relating to the methods to be used to calculate tax, the tax filing procedures, etc. applicable to RO.

Setting up a representative office in China is simple and convenient: there is no registered capital requirement, the application process is easy and the operating costs are relatively low. Therefore, registering an RO in China is generally the initial step for foreign companies wishing to invest in and experience the local market.

Although the Chinese government has stipulated various restrictions on the activities of RO (e.g. it has prohibited most RO from carrying on direct business activities), in practice some RO have conducted business beyond their approved scope. To address this issue, the State Administration for Industry & Commerce issued a “Notice on Further Strengthening the Registration Administration of Foreign Enterprises’ Representative Offices” in January 2010, which imposes more stringent requirements on RO (e.g. an RO is normally not allowed to have more than four representatives (including the Chief Representative)). These instances of non-compliance have also attracted the attention of the Chinese tax authorities.

As a result the methods of filing an Enterprise Income Tax return and an application for an exemption from EIT are no longer determined based on the principal business of the head office of an RO, should be submitted and tax paid based on the profits attributable to an RO. Business Tax (BT) and Value Added Tax (VAT) returns should be submitted and tax paid in accordance with the relevant tax regulations.

An RO is required to maintain accounting books and records based on official and valid vouchers. It also must accurately calculate its taxable turnover and profits (“actual amount method”) based on a principle that reflects the actual functions performed by the RO and the risks borne. An RO should submit quarterly EIT and BT returns based on actual results within 15 days after the end of each quarter, and submit a VAT return and pay VAT due in accordance with the deadlines stipulated in the “Provisional Regulations of Value Added Tax”.

If an RO is unable to provide a complete accounting record or if it cannot calculate its income and expenses with reasonable certainty, the tax authorities reserve the right to use one of the following “deemed amount methods” to determine taxable turnover and profits:

1. A cost-plus method for an RO that is able to provide accurate details of its operating expenses but cannot accurately substantiate its turnover or costs; and

2. The deemed profit method (based on the turnover) for an RO that is able to provide accurate turnover information but the cost and expense details are not clearly shown.
