Hi, I will be posted to ShenZhen this year, just wondering how is the china personal income tax works?

What will be the income tax if the annual income RMB 375,000?

Thanks

There is a tax free threshold for foreigners of RMB4800. You should contact tax accountant before you sign your contract as there are specifics you need to cover. For instance your company should pay your rent. If you pay it then get reimbursed it becomes taxble .
