NOTE 8. TAXES
Corporation income tax
The Company is incorporated in the United States of America and is subject to United States federal taxation. No provisions for income taxes have been made, as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.


The Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the privately run and foreign invested enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
On July 16, 2009, the Company’s subsidiary, Sichuan Xinlong, received government approval regarding the High-Tech Enterprise Certificate which allows the Company to enjoy a favorable tax rate of 15% effective January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011. The Company is in the process of applying to renew this certificate for 2012 and the following years.


Based on management's present assessment, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not a deferred tax asset attributable to the future utilization of the net operating loss carry-forward as of March 31, 2012 will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at March 31, 2012. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate.


The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in China and United States of approximately $3 million and $8 million, respectively, which expire between 2012 and 2022. The Company has a deferred tax asset resulting from the tax loss carry-forwards of approximately $4 million for which the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance.


Value added tax (“VAT”)
Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with the PRC laws. The value added tax standard rate is 17% of the gross sales price. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products.
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had VAT tax receivable of $20,834 and payable of $62,511, respectively.
