- When a sole proprietorship changes its responsible person and transfers inventory and fixed assets to the new person, business tax must be reported and paid.
- The transfer of inventory and fixed assets is considered a sale and requires issuing a uniform invoice at fair market value and paying business tax within 15 days.
- The new responsible person can use the invoice to claim input tax deduction.
- Failure to issue invoices and report tax can result in penalties, but self-reporting before investigation can exempt from punishment.
- For tax questions, contact the tax office hotline or use the online tax assistant.
