The transfer of individual shares involves two steps:
1.The profit distribution before the transfer. So at this step, individual income tax for the profit shall be leived. Non-resident indiviudal can apply for exemption.
2.Share transfer. The personal income tax leived on equity transfer income is also 20%, all individuals need to pay this tax if the transfer price is higher than the person's share cost obtained.
Therefore, even at the step 1 there is tax exempiton, still if get the profit in step 2, needs to pay individual income tax.
Q: Can I pay the transfer amount directly in cash?
No, can't do like this way. For example in future, you may re-transfer the share, the tax authority shall review the cost of the share you obtained, cash payment is insufficient proof.
Q: Is it ok to pay the transfer amount to someone's account appointed by the transferor?
No. The transfer amount should be paid to an account opened in the personal name of the transferor. As mentioned above, this is also an important proof of the purchase price of this share.
