Since the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) individual income tax (IIT) subsidy plan for overseas high-end and urgently needed talents was launched in 2019, nine cities in Guangdong province have processed the subsidy application from July to August of last year. The subsidy covers the tax years from 2019 to 2023. On July 1st, 2021, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Dongguan, and Jiangmen opened access for the 2020 GBA IIT subsidy application with implementation measures issued.

In this conference co-organized by British Chamber of Commerce Guangzhou and CCI FRANCE CHINE, you are invited to explore this regional taxation regime, which will enable an understanding of eligibility, facilitate the application process and, to a wider extent, provide some insights regarding your business plan as well as deployment of personnel.
