Chinese tax paid receipt
Can anyone post or send me a copy of a Chinese tax paid receipt please? (black out the name/info)
I am having a real hard time getting that tax paid in China piece of paper from Hainan Airlines right now and they seem not to know what I'm talking about. Should be the same paper from any airlines in China for expats. Do you get it monthly/yearly?
I want to show them "this" is what I need.

It would be very helpful if someone flying in China explain what kind of tax receipt you get from the airlines.
So far in India and Indonesia I got proper tax receipts from the airlines that were accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency, these countries have treats with Canada. And by the way the airlines paid around 33 % of taxes.

The Chinese cheat on their taxes worse than anywhere else in the world. The tax receipt I usually receive shows they pay tax on about 15% of my actual income and that usually works out to be only several thousand $ they actually pay to the Chinese tax agency. The receipt is essentially worthless and would open you up to the Canadian tax agency for an immediate audit. Just report your income and report the meager tax the Chinese paid for you as a tax credit and work out the tax you owe. As always consult a reputable tax accountant for good advice.

Tax Hainan: just tell Jenny or whoever is in charge what wording is acceptable for your needs and if you ask nicely you will get it; at least worked this way four years ago for me. Good luck

Hello martinYTR,
taxes are paid by the airline and should be also paid by your agency as stated in your / my contract.
Do the same as me, have a word with your agency and tell them, that they are legally responsible to provide you the income tax and salary certificates, as you have a contract with them and NOT with the airline.
Also, a nice (little threatening) letter from you tax authorities might help, clarifying what you need.
The foreign pilot office will for sure help you, if your agency in not competent in this matter and currently, though times are little tuff between the agencies and Hainan, they (Hainan) is trying their best to improve the cooperation, as the agencies feel of course threatened, that now pilots can join the group directly. That might be your advantage...

Your contract will specifically state all CHINESE taxes due will be paid by the airline for you. YOU are responsible for any foreign tax due on your income. Many foreign countries have no ExPat tax but Canada and the US do tax your foreign earned income. As always consult a professional tax accountant, don't rely on pilots for tax advice or you will surely be audited.

Article 15 is the key paragraph in that agreement between Canada and China.
The last line states very clearly ..
"Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2, remuneration in respect of an employment exercised aboard a ship or aircraft operated in international traffic by an enterprise of a Contracting State, shall be taxable only in that Contracting State."
A tax receipt from the Chinese will make no difference in your taxes. CRA will not tax you one cent either way..
This agreement is presently 'under negotiation', as are many agreements. As such, that 'CRA tax exempt' status could change as it did a few years back with South Korea. But CRA will most likely give some notice so you can prepare for a possible change in your taxation liability. At that point, that receipt from the Chinese will be very, very, important.

Well thank you all!
Solution is article 15.3 as a couple of you mentioned. It was confirmed with someone that called CRA directly and they confirmed that article 15 applies for us.
You only need proof in your contract that you will operate aircrafts in international traffic. No need for exact tax amounts paid.
