I'm a U.S. citizen about to begin his first newbie 1 year contract at a university in Ningbo. My questions:

1) Do I need to pay any Chinese income (or other) tax? How is this usually paid?

2) Do I still need to file income taxes with the U.S.?

3) Any tax tips for a newbie?

I really appreciate any help I can get. This forum is awesome, and I really am thankful to all of you answering my questions.

Thanks!

I have just read, that starting in march, expats will be required to file. This came to me in the form of a PDF from China Briefing.

Also, there is a part about the criminal check and even show examples of a few. It does states that these rules are not being enforced across the board. Mostly, they are targeting the AWP instead of the FEC, for discussion in this article.

Try this link and although I am sure it is not directed towards the FT, it may have some relevance.
