Yes but the issue is about taxing worldwide income of non-resident citizens. Do Chinese laws provide for taxing U.S. income of Chinese citizens who permanently live and work in the U.S.? (Leaving aside enforceability.)
Taxing foreign income of tax-residents is, as you said, common, most first-world countries do it.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoNot sure, even then usa and Chinese taxes are about the same and would cancel out. But this is an issue when a PRC resident goes to work in in a low tax country like Hong Kong or Singapore (just like for us, actually). The government was talking about cracking down on PRC citizens working in Hong Kong.
- jarek 12y agoThis should apply the same to any country, so, Singapore. Do Chinese laws provide for taxing Singapore income of Chinese citizens who permanently live and work in Singapore? If so, is it a matter of not recognizing the citizen is non-resident in China (e.g. claiming it is a "temporary" non-residency)?
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoI understand what you are saying now. No, China just taxes residents on worldwide income, citizens who aren't residents are not.
