Despite reports that this has been rolled out in the large cities, I have information that nobody in Shanghai is yet paying the tax as even if employers deduct it there is nowhere for companies to pay it to. There is a meeting this Friday between major foreign business owners and the government to argue against it. Opinion seems to be that the tax will go ahead and that foreign workers will simply be given a pay increase by employers to cover it. It is highly unlikely the latter will apply to teachers though!
If and when I get further news following the meeting I will post. |

| One school at least I spoke too is collecting the revenue but has no place to put it as the instrument to collect and account hasn't been implemented yet... |

That sounds probable.
Mine is collecting nothing, including taxes.

You seem very trusting. I hope your school earned that trust with you. |

One teacher at the school here said that there was a report in the newspaper, probably the China daily, that only those earning 12000 and above per month will have the deductions. I haven't seen it so can't confirm. Will ask again when I get the chance.
This is one link that mentions the cap

I have seen the opposite, and that the collections will be capped at around that amount.
Talk about squeezing the little guy. |

what is the average salary in your city? how will it be computed?
will it include all salaries? or only expat salaries? or would ft's be
taxed according to the average local educators' salaries? will the
base salaries include items such as housing allowances? will it be
re-calculated annually?
consider salaries in kunming for example. would this include only
salaries within the metro area (2 million people)? or would it also
include the additional 2 million farmers living within the kunming
city administrative region? what about the 70% of total income in
any area that goes unreported? |

| I have just got paid fully, no other taxes than before. And, I make a bit more monthly than that set limit here above. No, i am not happy but worried that on the exit out of this country i'll be turned back to re-pay my dues. Sure it's my money that is put in the system and then returned to me..just like an investment without any interest rate on. Really, i don't know and it seems few know, even in Beijing. Of course, this is a country that usually opens the doors wide to abuse. |

No need to worry about that, as there is no exit from China! |

| Just like the redundant playing of the Eagles' song, that still seems to gain popularity as it is repeated countless times in cloudy KTVs by willowy Chinese girls smelling of cheap perfume and stale smoke, you can check out but you can never leave..... |
