For the treatment of liquidation dividends under the equity method, the old and new regulations are quite different:
Although Article 7 of the "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2-Long-term Equity Investment" provides a method for liquidating dividends under the cost method, the same applies to the method for liquidating dividends under the equity method. That is, the equity method and the cost method treat liquidation dividends exactly the same.
Article 1 of the Interpretation of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 3 stipulates that the liquidation of dividends under the cost method shall recognize investment income, but it does not apply to the treatment of liquidation of dividends under the equity method.
