Brexit & Trade between UK & China

尽管英国脱欧导致了不确定性和混乱,但英国和中国之间的贸易将保持“乐观和富有成效”,据英国三分之二的中国大陆企业称。

In Deloitte’s ‘Welcome Ashore: A guide to investing in the UK for Chinese companies’, it predicts that the UK will remain one of the most attractive destinations for Chinese companies to invest in outside China and to expand their global business. |The strive for a ‘golden era’ between the UK and China has been emphasised, and significant changes has been made by the UK to ensure this golden era will continue. For instance, with the introduction of the two types of visa’s, the Start-up Visa and the Innovating Visa, this creates easier accessibility for non-EU/EEA businesses to invest and set businesses up within the UK. As a result, the UK is now home to Chinese companies in sectors ranging from banking and advanced engineering to retail and property development. Furthermore, commitment to strengthening the bilateral trade between the two could be seen from introduction of most ambitious packages of policies, business incentives, tax credits, tax rate reductions and visa support in the world to ensure Chinese investors make the UK their global partner of choice.

英国目前的公司税率为20%,是七国集团中最低的,也是20国集团的最低水平。对于将创新转化为制造业的公司来说,这可以降低到10%。此外,伦敦成为离岸人民币(RMB)交易的西部中心,目前在中国和香港以外的人民币支付中,近三分之二用于伦敦。所有国际人民币付款的28%是在英国制造的。因此,可以说英国对中国投资者的报价是世界上最强劲的报价之一。

Strong support from third parties to Chinese investors can also be seen within the UK. For instance, there is strong support from the China UK Business Association (CCCB, 英国中国总商会), a non-profit organisation that facilitates business, investment, and mutual understanding between China and United Kingdom. They engage with a diverse range of backgrounds and professionals including businesses, academic, diplomats, the media, NGOs, politicians, and policymakers. UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) also works closely with Deloitte to ensure Chinese investors (start-up, medium-sized business, a corporate or institutional mentor), given help and support they needed.

外国企业需要考虑的因素(如德勤报告中所述),如公司结构;税务安排;选择获得房地的地点;获得移民工人/非英国雇员的签证;合并,收购和其他形式的投资以及税收安排。所有这些要素都已经简化,因为法律公司的存在是中国和英国企业之间的纽带。

Finally, the significant rise in visa applications (11% increase in 2018) demonstrates the growing strength of the UK and China relationship; with 400% increase in applications in the last decade this presents a huge opportunity to foreign investors that wishes to invest in real estate development within the UK. In fact, more than 730,000 visas were issued to Chinese nationals in 2018, 25% of all entry clearance visas granted.

因此,英国法律和经济部门的包容性以及英国本土公司和第三方的其他支持表明,尽管英国脱欧产生了不确定性,但英国境内的支持对外国投资者来说无疑是有利的,并且对那些希望扩展到其他市场的人。
