Referring to the question about handling IIT and Enterprise Income Tax after processing policy withdrawal of Supplementary Elderly Insurance for individuals by companies, the reply is as follows: when companies purchase insurances like Commercial Supplementary Elderly Insurance for individual employees, the related amount should be treated as "salary income" and subject to IIT. If the policy is withdrawn for whatever reasons and employees have not received actual income, the paid IIT shall be refundable.

About income gained by offering personal guarantee to corporations or other individuals, the income is subject to IIT and individuals should report it as "other income". These corporations or individuals shall be responsible for withholding and paying the IIT for the guarantors.
