Special Considerations for Foreign Companies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tax implications:<\/strong>\u00a0In China, raffle prizes are considered \u201cincidental income\u201d and may be subject to withholding tax (20% for cash, sometimes for goods). Check with your finance team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance:<\/strong>\u00a0If government officials attend your annual dinner, do not include them in the raffle \u2013 they cannot accept prizes. Give them a separate small attendance gift (branded calendar).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cross\u2011cultural awareness:<\/strong>\u00a0Avoid prizes that are heavily Western and may not be valued (e.g., a turkey roaster). Stick to universally useful items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Alternative: \u201cEveryone Wins\u201d Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of a few big prizes and many nothing, consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Everyone gets a small attendance gift<\/strong>\u00a0(e.g., \u00a520\u201350 value).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Then, a raffle for bigger prizes<\/strong>\u00a0(but all still get something).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Or, a \u201clucky dip\u201d where every ticket wins a prize<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 values range from small to large.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This avoids disappointment and ensures positive feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.
