According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of income taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer. The statute of limitations will be extended to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined, but an underpayment of income tax liability exceeding US$14,497 (RMB 100,000) is specifically listed as a special circumstance. In the case of a transfer pricing related adjustment, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion. 

 

In accordance with the EIT Law, dividends, which arise from profits of foreign invested enterprises (“FIEs”) earned after January 1, 2008, are subject to a 10% withholding income tax. In addition, under the tax treaty between the PRC and Hong Kong, if the foreign investor is incorporated in Hong Kong and qualifies as the beneficial owner, the applicable withholding tax rate is reduced to 5%, if the investor holds at least 25% in the FIE, or 10%, if the investor holds less than 25% in the FIE. On July 19, 2018, the board of directors approved an annual dividend policy. Under this policy, annual dividends will be set at an amount equivalent to approximately 15—25% of the Company’s anticipated net income after tax in each year commencing from fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, which will be derived from the earnings of the Company’s PRC entities. The board of directors did not declare any annual dividend for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

A deferred tax liability should be recognized for the undistributed profits of PRC subsidiaries unless the Company has sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the undistributed dividends will be reinvested and the remittance of the dividends will be postponed indefinitely. The Company plans to indefinitely reinvest undistributed profits earned from its China subsidiaries in its operations in the PRC. Therefore, no withholding income taxes for undistributed profits of the Company’s subsidiaries have been provided as of March 31, 2026 and 2025. Under applicable accounting principles, a deferred tax liability should be recorded for taxable temporary differences attributable to the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis in a domestic subsidiary. However, recognition is not required in situations where the tax law provides a means by which the reported amount of that investment can be recovered tax—free and the enterprise expects that it will ultimately use that means. The Company completed its feasibility analysis on a method, which the Company will ultimately execute if necessary to repatriate the undistributed earnings of the subsidiary without significant tax costs. As such, the Company does not accrue deferred tax liabilities on the earnings of the subsidiary given that the Company will ultimately use the means.
