一、Methods for Resident individual income tax withheld and prepaid
A. When the withholding agent pays wages and salaries to resident individual, monthly tax withholding in full amount for all the staff should be calculated according to the accumulative tax withheld and prepaid method. The specific formulas are as follows:
●The amount of tax withheld and prepaid in the current period = (cumulative taxable income for tax withheld and prepaid * withholding rate - quick deduction factor) - cumulative tax savings- cumulative tax paid.
●Cumulative taxable income for tax withheld and prepaid = cumulative income - cumulative income exempt from taxation - cumulative deducted expenses - cumulative special deduction - cumulative special additional deduction - cumulative other deductions determined by law.
Thereof: the cumulative deducted expenses shall be calculated by multiplying the amount of 5,000 yuan per month by the number of months in which the taxpayer has been employed in the entity in the current year up to this month. 
●The following are the withholding rate and quick deduction factor
