| Hi Wang, You gave a wrong answer on Foreigner Personal Income Tax in China. I also saw your article about it and it is totally wrong. I am also a foreigner in China and have been working with this issue for ten month with assistant from CPA China for tax submission. In short, the personal income tax for foreigner is starting from RMB 4,800 (at the time this comments is written and have been at least applied in ten months backward). For Saroj, if his Income per month is RMB5,000, then his tax will be RMB 200 multiply by tax rate, i.e.: 5%, for the first RMB500 after deducted by RMB 4,800. Unless Saroj purchase insurance, which might be more than RMB 200, then Saroj will not be liable for the tax. The complete table with its explanation should availabe at Tax Authorization. Hope this help and clear enough for Saroj. Good Luck! Regards, Jocelyn |
