Attention! Personal income tax reconciliation is about to begin. Filling out these can get you a tax refund.

The comprehensive individual income tax reconciliation for 2025 begins today with appointments. Why do you need to make an appointment? What are the注意事项 when processing?

1️⃣ Don’t get lost in the appointment:

The appointment for individual income tax reconciliation starts on the 25th, with official processing from March 1 to June 30.

To prevent network congestion caused by everyone processing in the first few days, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance on the “Personal Income Tax” app.

If you haven’t made an appointment in advance, you can process at any time after March 20.

2️⃣ Seven special additional deductions:

• Care for children under 3 years old: 2,000 yuan per child per month
• Children’s education: 2,000 yuan per child per month
• Continuing education: 400 yuan per month for academic education, 3,600 yuan for professional qualification certificates obtained that year
• Major illness medical expenses: within the scope of medical insurance, for out-of-pocket expenses exceeding 15,000 yuan, up to 80,000 yuan can be deducted
• Housing loan interest: 1,000 yuan per month, up to 240 months
• Housing rent: divided by city, 1,500/1,100/800 yuan per month
• Supporting elderly: 3,000 yuan per month, up to 1,500 yuan per person for non-only children

Important notes for filling out:

• If you’ve filled out these items before and there are no changes, the system will automatically carry over last year’s data, no need to fill them out again.

• If there are changes, you need to add them. For example, for “continuing education,” if you obtained these professional qualification certificates last year, you can enjoy an additional pre-tax deduction. Search online for the “National Professional Qualification Directory,” which includes 72 professional qualifications. If you have any, you can enjoy the benefits.

• If you purchased deductible commercial insurance, personal pension plans, or made charitable donations last year, these can also be deducted from individual income tax. Don’t forget to include them during the reconciliation.

3️⃣ How to choose for year-end bonus:

✅ For annual income below 100,000 yuan: it is recommended to choose 【Combined Taxation】

✅ For annual income above 200,000 yuan: it is recommended to choose 【Separate Taxation】

If you’re unsure, try filling in both options and choose the more advantageous one.
