How to pay taxes on design fees and what is the personal income tax rate?

If the income from royalties does not exceed 4,000 yuan each time, the expenses will be reduced by 800 yuan; if it exceeds 4,000 yuan, the expenses will be reduced by 20%, and the balance will be taxable income. A proportional tax rate of 20% applies. The income from royalties is the income from a franchise.

The calculation formula is: tax payable = taxable income ×20%.

Example: After Li designed the invention patent, he transferred it to a company and won a reward of 50,000 yuan. How should he pay personal income tax?

Taxable amount = 50,000× (1-20% )× 20% = 8,000 yuan.
