1. Calculation method of personal income tax

The calculation of personal income tax is mainly based on the "Personal Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" and is calculated based on different income types and tax rate tables. The following is the 2023 personal income tax rate table (applicable to comprehensive income):
| series | Annual taxable income | Tax rate (%) | Quick calculation deduction (yuan) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Not exceeding NT$36,000 | 3 | 0 |
| 2 | More than NT$36,000 to NT$144,000 | 10 | 2,520 |
| 3 | Over NT$144,000 to NT$300,000 | 20 | 16,920 |
| 4 | More than NT$300,000 to NT$420,000 | 25 | 31,920 |
| 5 | Over NT$420,000 to NT$660,000 | 30 | 52,920 |
| 6 | More than 660,000 yuan to 960,000 yuan | 35 | 85,920 |
| 7 | More than NT$960,000 | 45 | 181,920 |
The calculation formula is:Tax payable = Taxable income × Applicable tax rate - Quick calculation deduction. Among them, taxable income = pre-tax income - threshold (5,000 yuan/month) - special deductions (social security, provident fund, etc.) - special additional deductions (children's education, mortgage interest, etc.).
2. Calculation method of corporate income tax
The corporate income tax rate is usually 25%, but different preferential rates may apply to companies in different industries and sizes. The following are common corporate income tax rates:
| Business type | Tax rate (%) |
|---|---|
| General enterprise | 25 |
| High-tech enterprise | 15 |
| Small low-profit enterprises (annual taxable income ≤ 3 million yuan) | 5 (phased policy in 2023) |
The calculation formula is:Tax payable = Taxable income × Applicable tax rate. Among them, taxable income = total income - non-taxable income - tax-exempt income - various deductions - allowed losses.
