Personal Allowances - Foreign Nationals Working in China

The Individual Income Tax Law of the PRC allows deductions from certain categories of income in computing the individual income tax of foreign resident taxpayers, as follows.

No.

Taxable income

Deduction

1

Income from wages and salaries

RMB 5,000

per month

2

Income from compensation for personal services, author's remuneration, royalties, or the lease of property:

 

3

If the expenses amount to a single payment of not more than RMB 4,000

RMB 800

4

If the expenses amount to a single payment more than RMB 4,000

20%


Notes:

  1. For income from compensation for personal services, author's remuneration, royalties or the lease of property, the economic substance of a transaction will determine whether income received in several instalments of not more than RMB 4,000 each (and thus eligible for multiple RMB 800 standard deductions) will be treated as a lump sum. If the instalment payments are the result of a single economic transaction, they will be treated as a lump sum.

    Actual expenses are not deductible against compensation for personal services, author's remuneration, and royalties. A limited deduction is available for expenses incurred in connection with the lease of property.

  2. Interest, dividends, bonuses on investments, contingent income, and other kinds of income are taxed on the gross amounts received, without deductions.
