China Will Now Collect ChineseSocial Security from Foreign Workers
From October 15, expats working in mainland China will be forced to pay 11 per cent of their salaries to the government in exchange for access to benefits such as pension coverage and medical insurance.
While employees will see a significant chunk of their tax-home pay disappear, their employers are also being hit by the new tax, as companies are forced to contribute a further 37 per cent of the foreign staff’s salaries.
The move could discourage multinationals from sending foreign workers to China in the future, while employees will be concerned about another raid on their salaries. Income tax in some cities in China is already charged at 45 per cent at the top tier.
Given China’s hunger for foreign talent, especially in cities such as Shanghai, it has been quick to promote the benefits for foreign workers.
