Resident taxpayers include individuals with a residence in the
Chinese territory or those who do not have a residence in China but
have lived in China for a whole year during a taxation year.
Resident taxpayers are under unlimited tax obligation, i.e., their
income originating from both within and outside the Chinese
territory is subject to income tax in China.
How to Pay Personal Income Tax
Once a foreigner assumes his post, he or the employer should
register with the competent tax authorities and pay income tax in
accordance with China's tax law.
