China Sets Tax Deadline for Overseas Income and Offshore Assets

Chinese expats must review their overseas income and assets soon. China's State Taxation Administration set a key tax deadline. The deadline is October 22, 2026.

Taxpayers must declare offshore investment income from 2022 to 2024. They must also report foreign financial accounts and trusts.

Overseas residents can settle historical tax liabilities before October 22. Doing so waives late-payment surcharges.

China uses expanded Common Reporting Standard mechanisms to share tax info globally. This directly affects Chinese residents living in Denmark and Sweden.
