担的工资薪金，免于申报缴纳个人所得税。对前述个人应仅就其实际在中国境内工作期间由中国境内企业或个人雇主支付或者由中国境内机构负担的工资薪金所得申报纳税。凡是该中国境内企业、机构属于采取核定利润方法计征企业所得税或没有营业收入而不征收企业所得税的，在该中国
境内企业、机构任职、受雇的个人实际在中国境内工作期间取得的工资薪金，不论是否在该中国境内企业、机构会计帐簿中有记载，均应视为该中国境内企业支付或由该中国境内机构负担的工资薪金。

六、不满一个月的工资薪金所得应纳税款的计算
属于本通知第二条、第三条、第四条、第五条所述情况中的个人，凡应仅就不满一个月期间的工资薪金所得申报纳税的，均应按全月工资薪金所得计算实际应纳税额，其计算公式如下：
当月实际
当月工资 在中国天数
应纳税额＝（薪金应纳×适用税率—速算扣除数）×－－－－－－
税所得额 当月天数



如果属于上述情况的个人取得的是日工资薪金，应以日工资薪金乘以当月天数换算成月工资薪金后，按上述公式计算应纳税额。

示例说明
示例1：某人为一家外国公司雇员，于1994年度受派来华，为该外国公司承包的中国境内一工程项目提供劳务，天数累计为85天。其在华工作期间取得的工资、薪金报酬，属于来源于中国境内的所得，但由于其在一个纳税年度内在华工作累计不超过90天，需依照我国个人所得
税法实施条例第七条以及国家税务总局《关于在中国境内无住所的个人取得工资薪金所得纳税义务问题的通知》（以下简称通知）第二条第一款的规定，判定其可否享受免征个人所得税优惠待遇。经核查，该承包工程项目采用核定利润的方式征收企业所得税，在华会计帐簿中未列明人员工
资费用，但由于该个人为该承包工程的外国公司雇员，并且是受派在该工程项目中工作的，其工资应由该工程项目负担，根据通知第二条的有关规定，该人员的工资、薪金虽然未在工程项目帐簿中记明，但应视为该承包工程项目负担，其在华工作85天期间的工资、薪金所得，应按月依照
税法规定的期限申报缴纳个人所得税（有协定国家处理原则同上）。
示例2：某外籍个人担任中国境内某国公司驻华机构代表职务，其1994年度在华工作的天数连续计算为60天。其在华工作期间取得的工资、薪金报酬，属于来源于中国境内的所得，但由于其在一个纳税年度内在华工作时间连续计算不超过90天，需依照我国个人所得税法实施条
例第七条以及通知第二条第一款的规定，判定其可否享受免征个人所得税优惠待遇。经核查，该机构仅为其总机构进行了解市场情况，提供商情资料以及其他业务联络、咨询、服务活动，没有营业收入而不征收企业所得税，因而没有设立明细帐簿列明该代表的工资薪金。但由于该个人是该
外国公司驻华机构任职人员，其工资薪金应由该机构负担，根据通知第二条的规定，虽然该个人工资薪金没有在该机构帐簿中列明，但应视为由该机构负担了其工资、薪金，应视就其在华工作60天期间的工资、薪金所得，按月依照税法规定的期限申报缴纳个人所得税，在境外工作期间的
工资，薪金所得，不需在我国申报缴纳个人所得税。（有协定国家处理原则同上）。
示例3．某人为一家外国公司雇员，在1994年度中受派在中国境内工作，天数累计为200天，其工资、薪金是由境外公司支付的，且不是由该公司在中国境内的机构负担的，但由于其在华工作时间超过了90天以及我国与其国家签订税收协定规定的期限，其在华200天工作期
间取得的工资、薪金所得应依照个人所得税法以及通知第三条的规定申报缴纳个人所得税。
示例4：与我国未签有税收协定国家的外籍个人担任我国境内一家外商投资企业市场推广部经理助理，该企业每月支付其工资1万元，该企业境外母公司每月另支付其工资4千美元，该个人1994年度在境内履行职务实际工作250天，在境外实际工作115天。由于该个人在我国
境内居住不满一年，但已超过90天，因此根据个人所得税法第一条第二款和通知第三条的规定，应就其在我国境内实际工作250天期间取得的由境内企业和境外企业支付的工资薪金一并缴纳个人所得税，对其在境外工作期间取得的由境内企业和境外企业支付的工资均不征收个人所得税
。
示例5：一香港人担任一家香港公司驻北京代表机构首席代表，其1994年度在我国税务管辖境内居住不满一年，实际工作200天。根据个人所得税法第一条第二款和通知第三条的规定，应就其取得的来源我国境内的所得缴纳个人所得税，因此，不论其工资薪金是否在中国境内支
付，均应仅就其在境内200天实际工作期间取得的部分缴纳个人所得税。
示例6一外籍个人担任我国境内一家外商投资企业财务经理，每月工资由该企业支付1万元，由外方公司支付4千美元，该个人1994年度在我国境内实际工作340天，有25天出差在境外履行职务。该个人在我国境内居住满一年，根据个人所得税法第一条第一款、税法实施条例
第六条和通知第四条的规定，其在我国境内340天工作期间取得的由境内企业和境外企业支付的工资均应在我国缴纳个人所得税；其在境外25天工作期间取得的工资薪金所得属于来源于中国境外的所得，可以只就由我国境内企业支付的部分缴纳个人所得税。
示例7：某外籍个人在1994年1月1日起担任中国境内某外商投资企业的副总经理，由该企业每月支付其工资2万元，同时，该企业外方的境外总机构每月也支付其工资4千美元，其大部分时间是在境外履行职务，1994年来华工作时间累计计算为180天，根据个人所得税法
以及通知第五条的规定，其1994年度在我国的纳税义务确定：
1．由于其系属企业的高层管理人员，因此，根据通知第五条的规定，该人员于1994年1月1日起至12月31日在华任职期间，由该企业支付的每月2万元工资、薪金所得，应按月依照税法规定的期限申报缴纳个人所得税。
2．由于其1994年来华工作时间未超过183天，根据税收协定的规定，其境外雇主支付的工资、薪金所得，在我国可免予申报纳税（如果该个人属于与我国未签订税收协定国家的居民或港、澳、台居民，则其由境外雇主按每月4千美元标准支付的工资、薪金，凡属于在我境内1
80天工作期间取得的部分，应与我国境内企业每月支付的2万元工资合并计算缴纳个人所得税。
