一、关于纳税申报期限问题
纳税人来源于中国境外的应税所得，在境外以纳税年度计算缴纳个人所得税的，应在所得来源国的纳税年度终了、结清税款后的三十日内，向中国税务机关申报缴纳个人所得税；在取得境外所得时结算税款的，或者在境外按来源国税法规定免予缴纳个人所得税的，应在次年一月一日起
三十日内向中国税务机关申报缴纳个人所得税。纳税人兼有来源于中国境内、境外所得的，应分别申报计算纳税。
二、关于境外代扣代缴税款问题
纳税人任取或受雇于中国的公司、企业和其他经济组织或单位派驻境外的机构的，可由境外该任职、受雇机构集中申报纳税，并代扣代缴税款。

四、境外所得税款抵扣举例
某纳税人1994年1月至12月在Ａ国取得工薪收入60000元（人民币，下同），特许权使用费收入7000元；同时，又在Ｂ国取得利息收入1000元。该纳税人已分别按Ａ国和Ｂ国税法规定，缴纳了个人所得税1150元和250元。其抵扣计算方法如下：
（一）在Ａ国所得缴纳税款的抵扣
1．工资、薪金所得按我国税法规定计算的应纳税额：
60000
｛（───────── －4000）×税率－速算扣除数｝×12（月份数）
12
＝（1000×10％－25）×12＝900元
2．特许权使用费所得按我国税法规定计算的应纳税额：
7000×（1－20％）×20％（税率）＝1120元
3．抵扣限额：
900＋1120＝2020元
4．该纳税人在Ａ国所得税缴纳个人所得税1150元，低于抵扣限额，因此，可全额抵扣，并需在中国补缴税款870元（2020－1150）。
（二）在Ｂ国所得缴纳税款的抵扣
其在Ｂ国取得的利息所得按我国税法规定计算的应纳税额，即抵扣限额：1000×20％（税率）＝200元该纳税人在Ｂ国实际缴纳的税款超出了抵扣限额，因此，只能在限额内抵扣200元，不用补缴税款。
（三）在Ａ、Ｂ两国所得缴纳税款抵扣结果
根据上述计算结果，该纳税人当年度的境外所得应在中国补缴个人所得税870元，Ｂ国缴纳税款未抵扣完的50元，可在以后五年内该纳税人从Ｂ国取得的所得中的征收抵扣限额有余额时补扣。
五、本通知自一九九四年一月一日起施行。

In order to safeguard the state's taxation rights and interests, and
in accordance with the related stipulations of the Law of the People's
Republic of China on Individual Income Tax and the Regulations for Its
Implementation, the Circular on Some Questions Concerning the Levy of
Individual Income Tax on Income Earned From Abroad is hereby given as
follows:
I. Question concerning the declaration time limit for tax payment
For the taxable income earned from outside China and the individual
income tax is calculated and paid on the tax-paying year abroad, the tax
payer shall, within 30 days after the end of the tax-paying year and the
clearing of taxes in the country where the income is earned, declare to
China's tax authorities and pay individual income tax; those who settle
the account of tax when income is earned from abroad, or the individual
income tax is exempt abroad in accordance with the stipulations of the tax
law of the country where the income is earned shall, with in 30 days from
January 1 of the following year, declare to China's tax authorities and
pay individual income tax. A tax payer who has income earned from both
inside and outside China shall respectively declare, calculate and pay
tax.
II. Question concerning withholding taxes abroad
For a tax payer who holds a post in or is hired by a Chinese company,
or enterprise, another economic organization or unit which sends him to an
overseas organization, the overseas organization where he holds a post or
is hired shall declare tax payment together and withhold the tax.
III. The question concerning declaration method for tax payment
A tax payer who is unable to declare tax payment at the competent tax
authorities within the specified declaration time limit shall entrust
someone with declaration on tax payment or mail the declaration on tax
payment. For a mailed declaration on tax payment, the local postmark day
on which the mail is sent out is taken as the actual day of declaration.
IV. Examples for the deduction of overseas income tax
A tax payer who earned salary income of 60000 yuan (the same below)
in A country from January to December 1994, and income from royalties of
7000 yuan; at the same time he earned 1000 yuan income from interest in B
country. In accordance with the stipulations of the tax laws of A country
and B country, the tax payer has paid 1150 yuan and 250 yuan in individual
income tax, the method for calculating deduction follows:
(1) Deduction of tax paid for the income earned in A country
The amount of payable tax calculated in accordance with the
stipulations of China's Tax Laws on the income earned from wages and
salaries:
60000 quick calculation
{(-------- - 4000) X tax rate - deducted amount } X 12 (months)
12
= (1000 X 10% - 25) X 12 = 900 yuan
2. The payable amount of tax calculated in accordance with the
stipulations of China's Tax Laws on the income earned from royalties:
7000 X (1 - 20%) X 20% (tax rate) = 1120 yuan
3. Deducted quota:
900 + 1120 = 2020 yuan
4. The tax payer pays 1150 yuan of individual income tax on the
income earned in A country, which is lower than the deducted quota,
therefore, it can be fully deducted and the tax payer shall repay 870 yuan
of tax in China (2020 - 1150).
(2) Deduction of tax paid for the income earned from B country
The payable amount of tax calculated according to the
stipulations of China's Tax Laws on the income gained from interest
in B country, that is the deduction quota:
1000 x 20% (tax rate) = 200 yuan
The actual tax paid by the tax payer in B country exceeds the
deduction quota, therefore, only 200 yuan can be deducted from within the
quota, and no more back duty is required.
(3) Deduction result of tax payment for the income earned from
A and B countries In accordance with the above-mentioned calculation
result, the tax payer shall repay 870 yuan of individual income tax in
China on the income he earns from abroad in the current year, the 50 yuan
which has not been deducted from the tax paid in B country can be
re-deducted from the balance of the deduction quota of the tax levied on
the income gained by the tax payer from the B country within the
subsequent five years.
