El proceso de importar, de distribuir y de vender mercancías de lujo en China levanta otros desafíos para las compañías, incluyendo un número de preguntas difíciles con respecto el tratamiento de impuesto, derechos de aduanas, logísticas y a la transferencia de la característica intelectual.

Los derechos de aduanas, la importación IVA y el impuesto de la consumición se pueden todos cargar en las mercancías de lujo importadas en China. La capacidad de marcas de fábrica a la marca encima de sus mercancías en los premios dramáticos puede también probar difícil de explicar a las autoridades de impuesto cuando el tiempo viene archivar vueltas de impuesto sobre la renta. Las compañías produciendo o negociando artículos de lujo necesitan entender cómo evitar la carga innecesaria o traslapada del impuesto y de otros deberes. Por ejemplo, el impuesto del IVA y de negocio debe en teoría ser mutuamente exclusiva, puesto que ambos son impuestos de volumen de ventas.

Tener una huella significativa en China se ha convertido en un imperativo estratégico para las compañías multinacionales de alrededor del mundo. La atracción es demanda aparentemente insaciable de China para los productos, los servicios, el capital y la tecnología. George D.

China has become a synonym for future business growth. It is the business nirvana of the 21st century. It is the place to be. Companies are scrambling to get a share of the action. Not a day passes without some company making an announcement of an investment in their future which involves China.

Their reason for this scramble is the expectation of gaining vast increases in shareholder value. Reported performance would suggest that these expectations are difficult to realise. Anecdotal evidence would suggest that decreases in shareholder value rather than increases in shareholder value should be the expectation. Why is this? One reason for this is poor marketing performance.
