The tax paid in China in this situation is about 35%, the Aussie based Air China pilots, some of whom are into their 4th tax year, are not having to pay any Oz tax.
Each pilot gets a 'Tax Paid Certificate' from the airline (CZ) which is required by the ATO when you lodge your Oz tax.
A rough calculation is that USD17,950 per month is equivalent to about AUD350,000
The deal is quite good, and a few KA pilots are looking at it, myself included.
There is no breakdown to the USD17950 per month, that is the nett payment per month plus USD224/ hour in overtime for every hour over 80 flown.
The rosters are based on north / south (Aus to CAN) with about 4 trips per month then two weeks off.
My two bobs worth only... Contact Top Flight for full details they have been very helpful for me.
