Proposal will let wage earners keep larger slice

BEIJING - Taxpayers may be able to keep more of their income under a proposal submitted by the State Council to the nation's top legislature.

The Chinese Cabinet's proposal aims to raise the personal income tax threshold from 2,000 yuan ($306) to 3,000 yuan in a bid to boost domestic demand and reduce the burden on wage earners.

The draft amendment, presented to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, also proposed a reduction in the number of income tax brackets from nine to seven.

One thing I never understood is why foreigners get over twice the deduction than Chinese do.
