Individual Income Tax
China implemented a new individual income tax law that adjusted tax brackets and modified residency rules. This had the effect of reducing the tax burden on low income earners. It also provided additional deductions for residents.
The individual income tax in China is calculated on an annual basis. Sky Executive withholds tax in advance on a monthly basis.
Social Contributions
China requires companies to withhold social insurances’ contributions from their employees’ salaries. China has five different types of social insurances:
- Pension
- Work-related injury
- Maternity
- Medical insurance
- Unemployment
These insurances are funded through contributions from employees and employers. The state also contributes to social insurances.
Housing Fund
The housing fund allows Chinese employees to save money toward the purchase of a home. Contributions are mandatory. The amount that is saved goes directly to the employee’s personal housing fund account, which is set up by the employer. The employer is responsible for making deductions from employee’s pay. When an employee joins or leaves a company, an account must be created, closed or transferred.
The rate of social insurances and housing fund contributions are subject to annual changes made by the Chinese Labor Bureau.
