Chinese Individual Income Taxes

Everyone who received a salary, fee income, or any other income in China may be subject to individual income tax. Chinese tax laws and regulations do change fairly often, which is why it is important you work with our experts so that you are always compliant with the most recent rules. The amount of individual income tax you will need to pay as an expatriate depends on how much you earn, how long you have been in China, and what type of position you hold.

China uses a progressive income tax rate system, which means that employees and business owners will pay more tax as they earn more money. There are tax exemptions that can be taken advantage of if you know how to properly claim them. There are also quick deductions that can be claimed by those who are eligible. There are even some situations in which you will not pay any income tax in China if doing so would tax your income twice.
