On Tuesday March 16th, AustCham Shanghai will host an update and feedback session regarding the upcoming removal of non-taxable allowances for foreign employees in China. We recognize that many companies and foreign employees will face challenges related to this change in tax policy. AustCham Shanghai invites you to join a session where a tax expert will provide an update on the changes and use models to demonstrate potential outcomes. Following the update, our panel will invite the audience to discuss the issue and participate in a survey to provide feedback for a working group to address the issue on behalf of members.

Key Topics

• The cancellation of non-taxable allowances for companies that employ foreign employees, effective from 2022
• The new system of special tax deductions that will apply to both foreign and non-foreign employees
