Q: I joined a chain store of a restaurant company of my friend, and then my friend let me join the company. Now I want to quit the company, so I have to transfer my equity. Other shareholders of the company have agreed, and the specific process has been completed. Do I need to add any tax after the transfer? How about the tax rate?

According to China's Company Law, shareholders can transfer all or part of their shares to each other, that is, China's laws do not prohibit the transfer of shares between shareholders, and it is not necessary for shareholders to vote. However, China's laws and relevant state policies restrict the transfer of shares between shareholders from other aspects: according to China's industrial policy, for limited liability companies such as transportation, communications, large and medium-sized shipping, energy industry, important raw materials, urban public utilities, foreign trade and economic cooperation, the transfer of shares between shareholders cannot make the state-owned shares lose their necessary holding or relative holding position. If it is really necessary for the company to be controlled by non-state-owned shares, it must be reported to the relevant state departments for examination and approval.
