* According to the tax law of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, a 'strategic' ITC company that suffered a loss in a fiscal year can ask for a
refund of 50% (i.e., corporate tax rate) of the loss amount from the tax paid in previous fiscal year. So '[(10)]' means Guangxin got a ¥10
million refund of tax from government. Thus, the net loss for Guangxin for 2018 is: - 20 - (- 10) = - 20 + 10 = – 10.
