1, salary income

Taxable amount = taxable income × applicable tax rate-quick deduction = (monthly income-expense deduction standard) × applicable tax rate-quick deduction

(The applicable tax rate refers to the tax rate corresponding to the tax-included scale)

The formula for the unit or individual to bear the tax payable is:

Taxable amount = (income excluding tax-expense deduction standard-quick deduction) ÷( 1- tax rate) × applicable tax rate-quick deduction.

(The tax rate refers to the tax rate corresponding to the tax-free interval, and the applicable tax rate refers to the tax rate corresponding to the tax-included interval)

2. Income from production and operation of individual industrial and commercial households

Taxable amount = taxable income × applicable tax rate-quick deduction = (total annual income-cost loss) × applicable tax rate-quick deduction.

3. Income from contracted operation and lease operation of enterprises and institutions

Taxable amount = taxable income × applicable tax rate-quick deduction = (total income in tax year-necessary expenses) × applicable tax rate-quick deduction.

(The applicable tax rate refers to the tax rate corresponding to the tax-included scale)

Taxable amount = (income excluding tax-necessary expenses-quick deduction) ÷( 1- tax rate) × applicable tax rate-quick deduction.

4. Income from remuneration for labor services

(1) Earn less than 4,000 yuan each time.

Taxable amount = taxable income× applicable tax rate = (amount of income per time -800 )× 20%.

Taxable amount = (income excluding tax -800)÷( 1- applicable tax rate) × (applicable tax rate)

(2) Each income exceeds 4,000 yuan.

Taxable amount = taxable income × applicable tax rate-quick deduction = each income × (1-20%) × applicable tax rate.

The payment formula of the tax payable by the delivery unit or each party is: (that is, the income excluding tax is more than 3,360 yuan)

Taxable amount = (income excluding tax-quick deduction) ×( 1-20%)↓[ 1- tax rate × (1-20%) ]× applicable tax rate-quick deduction.

(The tax rate refers to the tax rate corresponding to the tax-free interval, and the applicable tax rate refers to the tax rate corresponding to the tax-included interval)

5. royalty income

(1) Earn less than 4,000 yuan each time.

Taxable amount = taxable income× applicable tax rate× (1-30%) = (every income -800 yuan )× 20 %× (1-30%).

(2) Each income exceeds 4,000 yuan.

Taxable amount = taxable income× applicable tax rate× (1-30%) = (every income× (1-20% )× 20 %× (1-30%).

The calculation method of tax unit burden is the same as 4

6. Income from royalties (same as 4, omitted)

7. Interest, dividends and bonus income

Taxable amount = taxable income × applicable tax rate = various incomes ×20%

The formula for the unit or individual to bear the tax payable is: (that is, income excluding tax)

Taxable amount = income excluding tax ÷( 1- applicable tax rate) × applicable tax rate

8. Income from property lease (same as 4, omitted)

9. Income from property transfer

Taxable amount = taxable income × applicable tax rate = (total income-original value of property-reasonable expenses) ×20%
