According to the Regulation on the Implementation of the Individual Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Levy of Individual Income Tax, A Tax Resident in China shall pay individual income tax on all their income, no matter their income derived within the territory of China or outside China.
#2 Why there is such a message?
Well, China has entered the (CRS) Common Reporting Standard, a system was intended to transfer all relevant information automatically and systematically, this message is intended to inform all the accounts holders report their tax information spontaneously to the banks.
#3 How do we deal with it?
Easy! If you are a Tax Resident in China(30 days, 90days rule), Report the individual income no matter derived within or outside China to China Tax Government. If you are a Non-Tax Resident, forget it, well, it is according to the law.
#4 Are you a Tax Resident?
Ell, many of you may have this question, what if I tell the truth that I am a Tax Resident in China, what time and how would China Tax Bureau levy the tax from me.
