Q: How much tax is deducted from salaries in China?
What percentage?
12 years 34 weeks ago in Business & Jobs - China
If you're an employee, if at a managing position, the rates go from 5-45% of your income.
1) Less than RMB 500 => 5%
2) RMB 500.01 to 2000 => 10%
3) RMB 2,000.01 to 5000 => 15%
4) RMB 5,000.o1 to 20,000 => 20%
5) RMB 20,000.01 to 40,000 => 25%
6) RMB 40,000.01 to 60,000 => 30%
7) RMB 60,000.01 to 80,000 => 35%
8) RMB 80,000.01 to 100,000 => 40%
9) More than RMB 100,000 => 45%
I hope this helps
So, if you are being paid cash as a teacher here, is the money you are getting already taxed? Or do you have to fork over 20% of your earnings at some stage before you leave the country....or.....well, how does that work?
If you're being paid cash in hand and you're here on a visitor or business visa, you need not worry about it as you shouldn't have been working to begin with so don;t say anything to anyone and you're fine... But if you're in the system you should find out where or who to pay... I can take your tax money for you if you like... 
But who is responsible to pay the tax then, the employee or the employer? If i requests 10000 RMB/M and the employer accepts that. Will i get 10000 then and the employer pays the tax... Please explain if someone knows.

You must discuss that with the employer. Ask for 10,000 after tax.
Zoom:
Ok, but what is normal? If an e,ployee writes Requested salary: 10000, does it means including tax?
if u working legally, then a lot. I'm not gonna try to figure percent, but I remember getting hit for 400/month on a 10k salary.
dom87:
that would be 4%, thats not much. back in germany i paid 42% 
once you are married it lowers but then you pay tax to your wife...
in china it is depending on how much you earn. As far as I know under 5000 is taxfree. Just dunno the exact numbers. In my contract is only the money after tax stated so i dont really care
