Hong Kong

The applicable tax rate is 16.5% in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax law, China SOS is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.
PRC
The subsidiaries including WOFE, Qingdao SOS, VIE, SOS IT, SOS Mongolia and SOS Trading are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC (the “EIT Laws”), domestic enterprises and Foreign Investment Enterprises (the “FIE”) are usually subject to a unified 25% enterprise income tax rate while preferential tax rates, tax holidays and even tax exemption may be granted on case- by-case basis.
SOS IT obtained the “high-tech enterprise” tax status since 2020, which reduced its statutory income tax rate to 15% in 2020.
Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

Accordingly, no deferred tax assets have been recognized. Uncertain tax positions

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company did not incur any interest and penalties tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months from December 31, 2025.
