Q: How much tax should someone pay in China?
If I make a salary of 14,000 RMB per month, how much of it should I pay in tax? I was paying 1320 RMB a month in taxes in September and October. For my November salary, my tax jumped up to 1430 RMB.
Is this normal? I just want to be prepared when I talk to my school about this situation.

Normal in what sense? Every province has its own rules regarding taxes, I don't know about any raise that happened in November where I live, but it's not impossible.
Daveblax:
Is it normal for tax laws and tax rates to change from time to time?
in shanghai i pay over 20% tax (but yea i also earn a bit more)
i just have no clue how they do it thats why i negotiated with a salary after tax.
i thought the tax are based on how much you earn.
<5000 = 0%
5000-10000 = 10% etc
Income tax rates we revised on March of 2013. As already said, they are progressive, d depend on the area of China you reside, and other factors such as if you are given housing if reported as income for tax purposes.
There is a handy site that does explain more details besides has a calculator to estimate your tax liability based on your monthly income. Remember, in China you pay monthly not yearly as in USA for example.
