Large transfers between friends and family in mainland China usually do not need to pay individual income tax, but this is not absolute, and it needs to be determined according to the nature and purpose of the transfer.
Individual income tax is a tax on personal income, mainly involving wages, author's remuneration, business income, property lease income, property transfer income, etc. If a large amount of money between friends and family is a non-business activity such as a gift or loan, it is usually not regarded as income, so it is not subject to individual income tax.
If the transfer involves business activities, such as a sum of money paid to an individual as income such as labor fees and author's remuneration, then individual income tax needs to be calculated and paid according to the specific type and amount of income. In addition, if the purpose of the transfer is to evade taxes or illegal activities such as money laundering, then the relevant authorities may investigate and deal with it.
When determining whether a transfer is subject to individual income tax, the following points need to be noted:
1. The nature and purpose of the transfer: Whether the transfer is a non-business activity such as a gift or a loan, or a business activity, is the key to judging whether it is necessary to pay individual income tax.
2. The amount of money transferred: Although the size of the amount is not the only criterion for judging, if the amount of money transferred is too large, it may attract the attention of the relevant departments and require further investigation and verification.
3. The relationship between the two parties to the transfer: The transfer between friends and family may sometimes be regarded as a non-business activity due to the complex relationship involving family and friendship, but this is not absolute and needs to be judged in combination with other factors.
Whether a large amount of money transferred between friends and family needs to pay individual income tax needs to be determined according to the specific situation. When making a transfer, it is recommended that both parties keep relevant evidence, such as transfer records, IOUs, etc., so that they can prove and verify if needed. At the same time, it is also necessary to comply with relevant laws and regulations, and do not engage in illegal activities or tax evasion.
It is very important for individuals to understand tax policies and regulations. Only by clarifying your tax obligations and responsibilities can you better protect your legitimate rights and interests and avoid unnecessary troubles and risks. Therefore, it is recommended that you understand the relevant policies and regulations when making large transfers or other economic activities to ensure that your actions comply with legal requirements.
