Do enterprises need to pay stamp duty for loans from banks?
A: The loan contracts signed by enterprises to borrow from banks and other financial institutions need to pay stamp duty.
Note: Loan contracts signed by financial institutions and small and micro enterprises are exempt from stamp duty.
According to Article 8 of the Provisional Regulations on Stamp Duty in People's Republic of China (PRC), a loan contract refers to a loan contract (excluding interbank lending) signed by banks and other financial institutions with the borrower, which is stamped at 0.5 ‰ of the loan amount. In other words, loan contracts signed with banks and other financial institutions (including financial leasing contracts and mortgage loan contracts signed with financial institutions) need to pay stamp duty according to the loan contracts.
