时隔二十四年，《中华人民共和国反不正当竞争法》（以下称“《反不正当竞争法》”）终于迎来新的篇章，2017年11月4日，新《反不正当竞争法》经人大常委会修订通过，并于同日向社会公布，将于2018年1月1日正式施行。在新法修订的若干亮点中，对经营者商业贿赂行为规制的新规定是最引人注目的变化之一，除了第七条第一款对被贿赂人的范围进行限制外，第七条第三款还增加了经营者构成商业贿赂行为的除外情形，也即：“经营者的工作人员进行贿赂的，应当认定为经营者的行为；但是，经营者有证据证明该工作人员的行为与为经营者谋取交易机会或者竞争优势无关的除外。”这就为经营者依法豁免商业贿赂的行政乃至刑事法律风险提供一种可能。

After 24 years, the Law of the People’s Republic of China against Unfair Competition (hereinafter referred to as “Anti-Unfair Competition Law”) was finally ushered into a new chapter. On November 4, 2017, the new Anti-Unfair Competition Law was passed by the NPC Standing Committee and released on the same day. It will be effective on January 1, 2018. Among all the highlights in the latest law, the new regulation on operators’ commercial bribery is one of the most eye-catching changes. Apart from paragraph 1 of Article 7, which limits the scope of bribery, paragraph 3 of Article 7 also includes the condition that an operator is defined as not constituting commercial bribery, that is, “The bribery committed by an employee of a business operator shall be deemed as conducted by the business operator, unless otherwise evidence given by the operator shows that such bribery is not related to seeking a business opportunity or gaining competitive advantage for the business operator.” This provides one possibility for operators to reasonably be exempted from the administrative or even criminal legal liability for commercial bribery.

问题的提出近年来高净值人士移民海外的新闻屡见不鲜，特别是CRS信息交换在全球推行后有愈演愈烈之势。在移民中介的大肆推销之下（数不尽的优点），几本护照在身，似乎已是很多富（tu）翁（hao）的标配。不过外国护照也许并没有中介说的这么美好，也不是未来想不要就可以不要。申请一国绿卡或入籍时还是需要仔细思量可能产生的后果（特别是税务上的👇）。
