Features: In 1994, China carried out tax system reform, resulting in significant changes in tax policies. Shortly after, I worked for several years in the enterprise income tax management department at a grassroots tax authority. During my tenure, many financial staff members and colleagues responsible for daily management and inspections often asked me questions about the challenges they encountered in their work. For example, when calculating enterprise income tax, which items could be deducted before tax and which could not; how to handle procedures for deducting property losses before tax; which types of businesses could enjoy tax relief or exemptions; which portions of a company's income constituted taxable income and which were tax-exempt; and how to accurately reflect various business operations on tax declarations, among others. When answering these questions, I did not simply rely on my own understanding but always sought to find the relevant policy basis. This ensured that the people receiving the answers not only knew how to proceed but also understood the rationale behind it. Over time, the number of questions increased, becoming more detailed, and with policy adjustments, the answers to many of these questions also evolved. I considered that whether it was financial staff members or colleagues working on specific tax matters, due to their heavy workloads and frequent job changes, they lacked the time and resources to specialize in a single income tax policy. Therefore, I decided to compile the problems I encountered into a book, so that others facing similar issues could find the answers here. Driven by this idea, I compiled this book, "Enterprise Income Tax Declaration Solutions and Clarifications 858." After each question, I listed the policy references, including the document numbers of policies issued by the Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation, and others. Additionally, I included the document numbers of Beijing Municipal State Administration of Taxation's forwarded documents, allowing readers to further consult the full text of the documents based on these references. During the process of content writing, policy review, and format design, many friends provided support and valuable suggestions, which helped ensure the smooth publication of this book. I sincerely thank them all. One year after the book's publication, at the readers' request, I made appropriate revisions to the original book based on the newly released tax policies. The cutoff date for the tax policies referenced in this revision is January 2005.
