Practical Tips on Dealing with New Rules Affecting Treaty Residents and IIT under DTAs

最新双边税收安排
对个人所得税的影响及应对分析
Since last year, the Chinese tax authorities have issued a series of new rules which step up the enforcement of the Individual Income Tax administration and also adversely affect the individuals who enjoy the favourable income tax benefits under Double Tax Arrangements (“DTAs”) conducted by China with the countries/regions where the foreign individuals are tax residents (“treaty residents”). With these new filing requirements, it enables the tax authorities to counter the abusive use of treaty benefits and even closely scrutinise the existence of permanent establishment in China.
PEO is pleased to have invited Mona Mak, Partner, Jim Chung, Partner, Esti Chui, Senior Manager and Isabel Liu, Senior Manager, Wing Wu, Tax Manager, Global Employer Services, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to share with you the challenges and give you their insights into the individual income tax as well as Hong Kong Salaries Tax implications in light of the latest development.
自去年以来,中国税务机关颁布了一系列新的法规以加强对个人所得税的监管,同时也对过往曾受益于“避免双重征税安排” (“DTAs”),并在协议国家拥有税收居民身份的外籍人士产生了不利影响。
这些新的申报要求,帮助税务机关约束对优惠协议的滥用,同时对在华可能形成的常设机构进行更严密的审查。
PEO很荣幸邀到德勤全球雇主服务的专家们与你一起分享新法规带来的挑战,并深入解读大陆个人所得税以及香港薪俸税的最新的发展。
