The surging number of expatriates in China coupled with relatively high marginal tax rates, increasing corporate governance and closer scrutiny by the tax authorities are factors leading to greater demand for tax planning for expatriates.
Since the 2010 edition of Tax Planning for Expatriates in China, the Chinese authorities have issued further circulars clarifying tax issues in practice. Severance compensation, applicability of the 90-day or 183-day grace period, and the 2011 revision to the Individual Income Tax Law are just some areas of note. All these point to a wide range of tax planning opportunities.
