Detailed explanation
Chinese engineers on work visas typically have stable salary and complete withholding slips—the main group for dependent deduction refunds. When companies do not handle overseas parents, follow the standard mailing process for Correction Request forms. Higher earners have higher marginal rates, making the same ¥580,000 deduction more valuable. Keep visa period and filing address consistent. Permanent residents, long-term residents, and work visa holders have the same filing obligations under tax law. This tool supports estimates for this group. The tax office reviews according to law.
