China has further extended preferential tax policies for foreign nationals working within its borders, demonstrating its resolve to foster a favorable environment for foreign experts and professionals.
According to a notice jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration on August 29, the policy will remain in effect until the end of 2027.

To alleviate the tax burden on individuals, on December 31, 2021, China issued another announcement that extended the implementation period of the preferential tax policy until December 31, 2023.
