怎样投资土地使权才合算？
Taxpayer: Our company is engaged in development of real estate. Recently,we planed to cooperate with another company to build houses.I would like to know something about paying business tax forit．
Tax official: Can you explain your plan in detail?
Taxpayer: My company provides the land-use right and the other party invests the money needed. At the end of project,my company will get a part of the houses.
Tax official: This means that your company exchanges the land- use right for the ownership of the houses.In this case,for transfering the intangible asset，your company should pay business tax,equal to 5% of the transfering income.lf you want to resell that part of the houses,you need to pay business tax and the land appreciation tax(LAT)again for the transfer of immovable property.
Taxpayer: How do we determine the taxable income if the transfer does not conduct in form of currency?
Tax official: The taxation bureau will refer to the local similar price or the cost of houses to decide your income.

Taxpayer: If we do not involve in management and only receive income or dividends in a proportion or in a solid amount,should we pay tax?
Tax official: In this case,your company is not considered as real contribution,so you should pay tax as the above.
Taxpayer: It looks like more beneficial that we establish the formal stock company.
Tax official: It is up to you.

第五课:怎样投资土地使用权才合算吗?
纳税人: 我们是一家房地产公司，打算与另一家公司合作建房，想了解一下税收上的政策。
税务局: 能具体介绍你们的方案吗?
纳税人: 初步打算由我方出土地使用权，对方出资金，建成后对方给我们一部分房产。
税务局: 这意味着你们是以转让无形资产换取房屋所有权。在这种情况下，你们应就转让无形资产的收入按5%交纳营业税。如果你们将分得的房产再销售，则须按销售不动产再交营业税和土地增值税。
纳税人: 转让没有按货币结算，怎样确定应税收入呢?
税务局: 税务局可以根据当地的同类价格或其成本水平来核定。
纳税人: 如果双方组建合资企业是否有利呐?
税务局: 你的意思是你公司以土地使用权入股吗?
纳税人: 对! 税务局: 要看具体情况。如果风险共担，利益共享，则无形资产入股不纳税。只对合资企业的房产销售征收营业税和土地增值税。
纳税人: 如果我们不参与管理，只按一定比例或固定数额提取利润或分配房产呢?
税务局: 那就不能视同真正的入股，还要按前面所说的纳税。
纳税人: 看起来朝着组建正规的股份公司比较有利。
税务局: 那要由你们自己来决定。
