The formula to calculate the IIT
Prepaid withholding tax payable in the current period=(Accumulative Withholding Taxable income*Prededuction rate-quick calculation deduction)-accumulated tax deduction- accumulated tax withheld and paid in advance.
To explain the calculation , we provide an example as below:
Staff A’s monthly salary is RMB 30,000, and he enjoys the following deductions:
- Three types of social insurance (endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance) and one fund (housing provident fund) eqaul RMB 4,500,
- Additional itemized deductions including child education and elderly support equal RMB 2,000
- Monthly deduction equals RMB 5,000
The IIT he should pay in the first three months:
- January: (30000-5000-4500-2000）×3%=555
- February: (30000×2-5000×2-4500×2-2000×2）×10%-2520-555=625
- March: (30000×3-5000×3-4500×3-2000×3）×10%-2520-555-625=1850
