Social Security Exemptions China
Under a tax treaty to which the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is a contracting party, PRC tax residents and foreign tax residents may be able to benefit from foreign tax relief and exemption or a reduction in tax in the PRC. Social security agreements, also known as totalization agreements, have the purpose of avoiding double taxation income with respect to social security taxes. In other words, the totalization agreements eliminate dual Social Security taxation when a worker from one country works in another country and is required to pay Social Security taxes in both countries on the same earnings.
