Core Viewpoint - The annual "more refund, less supplement" process for personal income tax will begin, with the State Taxation Administration announcing that taxpayers can make appointments for the 2025 annual comprehensive income tax settlement starting February 25, 2026 [1][14]. Group 1: Tax Settlement Process - The comprehensive income tax settlement for the 2025 tax year will take place from March 1 to June 30, 2026, with appointment services available for taxpayers [1][14]. - Taxpayers who need to settle between March 1 and March 20 can make appointments starting February 25 through the personal income tax app [1][14]. - From March 21 to June 30, taxpayers can settle without an appointment at any time [1][14]. Group 2: Tax Calculation Methods - There are two methods for tax calculation: separate taxation and combined taxation [3][16]. - Separate taxation allows taxpayers to calculate tax on their annual bonus without including it in their total income, using a monthly average to determine the applicable tax rate [3][16]. - Combined taxation includes the year-end bonus in the total income for tax calculation, which may result in a higher tax rate [3][16]. Group 3: Taxpayer Guidance - Taxpayers are advised to choose separate taxation if their salary income exceeds their year-end bonus, as it typically results in a lower tax rate [5][18]. - Taxpayers can choose both methods and select the one that results in a higher refund or lower payment [5][18]. Group 4: Fraud Warnings - The tax authority warns against scams involving false promises of tax refunds, urging taxpayers not to share personal information such as app passwords or bank details [6][19]. - Taxpayers should be cautious of individuals claiming to provide "artificial tax refunds" or contacting them about tax audits, as these are often fraudulent [10][12][19].
