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.

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.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
