(Stock Code: 2600) FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION |
Aluminum Corporation of China Limited* (the "Company") hereby announces the following further information in relation to the distribution of 2010 H-share final dividend. |
Due to the recent changes in the tax regulations of the People's Republic of China ("China"), the individual holders of H-share whose names appeared on the Register of Members for holders of H-shares of the Company ("the Individual H-Share Holders") are no longer exempted from the individual income tax payment pursuant to the Circular on the Questions Concerning Tax on the Profits Earned by Enterprises with Foreign Investment, Foreign Enterprises and Individual Foreigners from the Transfer of Stocks (Stock Rights) and on Dividend Income (Guo Shui Fa [1993] No. 045) issued by the State Administration of Taxation. |
Pursuant to the Notice on Issues Concerning Individual Income Tax Collection and Management after the Repeal of Guo Shui Fa [1993] No. 45 (Guo Shui Han [2011] No. 348) the dividend (bonus) received by the overseas resident individual shareholders from the stocks issued by domestic non-foreign invested enterprises in Hong Kong is subject to the payment of individual income tax, which shall be withheld by the withholding agents according to the relevant laws. However, the overseas resident individual shareholders of the stocks issued by domestic non-foreign invested enterprises in Hong Kong are entitled to the relevant preferential tax treatment pursuant to the provisions in the tax agreements signed between the countries where they are residents and China or the tax arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong (Macau). |
Pursuant to the aforesaid tax regulations, when the 2010 H-share final dividend is to be distributed to the holders of H-shares whose names appeared on the Register of members for holders of H-shares of the Company as at 4:30 p.m. on 29 April 2011, the Company will withhold 10% of the dividend to be distributed to the Individual H-Share Holders as individual income tax unless otherwise specified by the relevant tax regulations and tax agreements, in which case the Company will withhold individual income tax of such dividend at the tax rates and according to the relevant procedures as specified by the relevant regulations. |
For non-resident enterprise holders of H-shares, the Company will withhold 10% of the dividend as enterprise income tax according to the relevant tax regulations in line with its previous practice. |
Should the H-share holders of the Company have any doubt in relation to the aforesaid arrangements, they are recommended to consult their tax advisors for relevant tax impact in mainland China, Hong Kong and other countries (regions) on the possession and disposal of the H-shares of the Company. |
The 2010 H-share final dividend of the Company will be distributed on or around 27 July 2011. |
