ACCA P4知识点讲义：国际股利政策

来源：高顿网校 2015-10-22

　　高顿网校小编今天为大家带来了ACCA P4的知识点：International Dividend Policy，即国际股利政策。

　　1 Tax Planning

　　If the parent company has a subsidiary located overseas then it must consider the tax cost of repatriating profits in the form of a dividend.

　　Assuming that the subsidiary has not been established in a "tax haven" its profits will be subject to local corporate tax. In addition, on payment of a dividend, it may also have to deduct withholding tax.

　　Under double tax treaties the parent receiving the dividend will usually be entitled to offset the tax paid overseas against its eventual tax liability on the dividend.

　　However there may be limited or even no liability in the hands of the parent, either because the dividend is not treated as taxable income in the parent's country, or because the parent has tax allowable deductions which reduce the taxable amount.

　　Therefore the group may suffer overseas tax that cannot be recovered.

　　A possible solution to this problem is to establish an offshore sub-holding company between overseas subsidiaries and the ultimate parent. This can in fact lead to three potential tax benefits:

　　Increased double tax relief—the use of an offshore "mixer" company can increase credits for double tax relief by combining dividends from high and low taxed subsidiaries before they are paid up to the parent.

　　Capital gains tax protection—if the holding company is established in an appropriate jurisdiction any gains on the sale of the subsidiary may avoid tax.

　　Withholding tax minimisation—in certain cases the careful use of an offshore holding company can reduce the withholding tax burden compared to direct repatriation of income from the subsidiary to parent.

　　2 Management of Blocked Remittances

　　If a multinational company finds that remittances are blocked, it may have to consider other methods of transferring profit from the overseas subsidiary to the parent company.

　　Manipulation of transfer prices for goods or services supplied by the parent to the subsidiary. However, either the host country and?or the parent's jurisdiction may require the transfer price to be set at "arm's length" which may limit the amount of profit that can be extracted using this method.

　　Charging management fees from the parent company to the subsidiary. This may be easier to justify in the early years of investment but more difficult in later years if local managers have replaced expatriates.

　　Royalty payments or licence fees for the use of patents or intellectual capital owned by the parent. This method can be particularly flexible in the "new economy" where fees for human capital are more subjective than for physical goods.

　　Financing the overseas subsidiary with loans from the parent company and hence extracting profits in the form of interest as opposed to dividends.

　　However, each of the above methods must be carefully reviewed before implementation for their potential to expose the firm to:

　　Reputational risk: Ethical investors may dump the parent company's shares if it is suspected of circumventing overseas regulations. Furthermore, consumers may boycott its products.

　　Political risk: The host government may react aggressively to schemes and potentially appropriate its assets.

acca备考热门问题解答

acca考试怎么搭配科目？: 建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考，这样可以提高备考效率，减轻备考压力，1、F1-F4：为随时机考科目，难度较低，这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9：如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话，推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7（8）再考F8（7），这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段：选修科目中，建议企业首选AFM！第二部分科目进行选择，如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好，可以通过选择AAA，如果SBL掌握的好，可以自己选择APM。
