As everyone knows, if a film and television company wants to adapt a literary work into a film and television drama, it needs to obtain the authorization of the copyright owner of the literary work, which is called "film and television adaptation rights" in the industry. However, if the license period for film and television adaptation rights has expired or is about to expire, and the film and television company as the licensee is still in the process of script adaptation and creation, or has just started shooting work, and cannot complete the film and television production work before the expiration of the license period, will the licensee continue to engage in film and television production after the expiration of the license period constitute an infringement?

The "Double 11" has ended. In previous years, e-commerce platforms such as Tmall have already announced amazing sales during the Double 11 period (November 1-11), but this year, no relevant data has been released on any platform. However, the author found that multiple media reported a set of sales data for cross-border e-commerce. During the "Double 11" period, the Shenzhen Customs accumulated more than 60 million import and export lists under the supervision of the cross-border e-commerce management platform, an increase of about 40% year-on-year. Cross-border e-commerce can maintain a reverse growth trend under the impact of the epidemic, and it has clearly become a growth point that cannot be ignored in China's economic development. According to the Economic Daily, "In the first three quarters of this year, the total import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce in Guangdong exceeded 300 billion yuan." In Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other places in China, there are a large number of small and micro enterprises engaged in foreign trade export business through cross-border e-commerce platforms. While they are developing rapidly, they have hidden many tax risk points due to inadequate understanding of tax legal documents. Here, the author takes the reader to understand the common tax related risk points of cross-border e-commerce export enterprises and the key points of tax compliance, hoping to bring inspiration to cross-border e-commerce practitioners.

Recently, the internet has been flooded with various sensational and absurd rumors about the "Golden Tax Phase IV", falsely stating how the "Golden Tax Phase IV" should target high-income people in order to win high traffic and achieve the purpose of promoting and selling a certain product.

Here, the author collates and summarizes the information about the "Golden Tax Phase IV" that has been confirmed by the State Administration of Taxation, in order to restore the true identity of the "Golden Tax Phase IV" to the readers.

In the past few decades, Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) has been the cornerstone of the global financial system, providing a reference for pricing various financial agreements, the most important of which is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). By 2018, when the global market decided to shift from LIBOR, there were approximately $400 trillion worth of financial agreements around the world that were linked to LIBOR pricing (financial agreements included everything from derivative financial agreements to loan agreements and interest rate agreements). Currently, major global markets, including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, have made it clear that no LIBOR interest rate agreement can be entered into after December 31, 2021. Certain dollar denominated LIBOR agreements are valid until June 30, 2023, but are limited to legacy contracts. According to the "Best Practices for Completing the LIBOR Transition from LIBOR" and other guidance documents published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), it is no longer recommended to use US dollar LIBOR as the reference interest rate for new commercial loan agreements signed after June 30, 2021; If market participants still insist on using US dollar LIBOR in loan agreements, they need to at least ensure the inclusion of fallback language, and ensure that there are other interest rate mechanisms that can replace LIBOR after the disappearance or loss of representativeness of US dollar LIBOR.
