Students studying in Britain are exempt from personal income tax when they work.

According to Nanfang Daily, British universities are about to have a holiday, and many students plan to use the holiday to work to subsidize tuition and living expenses. However, the British government recently announced that in order to encourage students to work and overcome the current economic difficulties, the government will give students tax concessions in this financial year: all students with 438+00 from May 2009 to April 5, 2065, whether full-time or part-time, do not need to pay any tax as long as their annual income is below 6,475.

Remember to ask for a form to enjoy the discount.

According to the report of China Business Daily quoted by Zhongxin. com. In another week, British universities and colleges will have their winter holidays, and many students have begun to look for jobs. According to the forecast of the British College Students Union, around Christmas and New Year this year, about three-quarters of British college students will work in shops, restaurants, coffee or fast food restaurants, mostly full-time. In this context, the British government launched this preferential tax policy for students.

The British government's preferential tax policies also show that students who pay taxes after May this year can also apply for tax refund. At the same time, the Inland Revenue Department also reminds students that when they start to work at Christmas, they should ask their employers for P38(S) forms, which should be filled out clearly and then submitted to the Inland Revenue Department by their accountants. So employers don't have to deduct taxes from their wages.

However, at present, the provisions of the British Inland Revenue Department on students' exemption from personal income tax or tax refund are limited to the year of 2009-20 10. China students who want to go to work should take the initiative to ask their boss or manager for forms. Not all bosses or managers are aware of this new rule.

Most international students can enjoy preferential treatment.

According to the reporter's understanding, the Christmas holiday arrangements for China students in the UK are roughly divided into three parts. Two fifths of them will go back to China for Christmas and New Year, and the other two fifths will stay in Britain and work in restaurants, take-away shops and other places. During the nearly one-month holiday, full-time students can earn about 800- 1200. The remaining 1/5 will not return to China and will not work. They may travel or study at home.

The British immigration regulations stipulate that international students can work part-time in peacetime and cannot exceed 20 hours a week; You can work full-time on holidays (about three months a year). According to the current market salary, international students will work full-time and part-time for one year, and their income will not exceed 6475. This means that most international students can enjoy this preferential tax policy.

According to the analysis of study abroad consultants, the adjustment of preferential tax policies in Britain is likely to alleviate the negative impact of economic recession and rising tuition fees on students. (Reporter Yu Dongxue)
