| Limin, so far no one have been able to explain this. For foreigners employed by chinese companies there are specific rules, as for the citizens. But if you are a foreigner, employed in foreign companies located outside of China to provide assistance to chinese companies or local branches of the same company, it has never been considered a problem, as the tax is claimed in the foreign country, no matter how low or high that actually is. In my company noone with employment base outside of China has ever been taxed. (It would be quite difficult too, just think of the language barrier...) ATTENTION : If anyone has been working in China for a longer period, employed by an "outside of China" located company, and has been liable to taxation, I (and certainly many others) would be very interested to hear more ! |
