Frequently Asked Questions

What deductions are supported?
Social insurance (pension, medical, unemployment), housing fund, and the seven special additional deductions (children's education, continuing education, mortgage interest, rent, elderly care, serious illness medical, infant care).
Why is my December tax higher than January?
China uses cumulative withholding — as your year-to-date income climbs into higher brackets, monthly withholding increases. The annual total tax is the same regardless.
