10月19日，海南省委人才發展局、國家稅務總局海南省稅務局聯合向海南自貿港高端緊缺人才寄送了《致海南自由貿易港高端緊缺人才的一封信》，全文如下。
Dear Sir or Madam,
尊敬的先生（女士）：
Greetings!
您好！
As the year 2020 marks the inauguration of the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP), we’d like to thank you for all your contribution to the construction of the Hainan FTP.
2020年是海南自由貿易港揚帆起航之年，感謝您為海南自由貿易港建設作出的貢獻。
In accordance with the Overall Plan for the Construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port issued by the CPC Central Committee and State Council, the Circular (No.32 [2020]) on the Provisions Regarding Taxation of High-level and Urgently-needed Talent jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration (STA), and the Tentative Measures for the Management of the List of High-end and Urgently-needed Talent Eligible to Preferential Individual Income Tax Rate in the Hainan Free Trade Port (No.41 [2020]) issued by the Hainan Provincial People’s Government, it’s stipulated that:
最近，中共中央、國務院印發了《海南自由貿易港建設總體方案》，財政部、稅務總局印發了《關于海南自由貿易港高端緊缺人才個人所得稅政策的通知》（財稅〔2020〕32號），海南省人民政府印發了《海南自由貿易港享受個人所得稅優惠政策高端緊缺人才清單管理暫行辦法》（瓊府〔2020〕41號）。其中，明確
The maximum individual income tax (IIT) rate for high-end and urgently-needed talent working in the the Hainan FTP is 15%;“對在海南自由貿易港工作的高端人才和緊缺人才，其個人所得稅實際稅負超過15%的部分，予以免征”；
The income herein refers to salaries or wages, remuneration for providing services, and royalties, and business income earned in the Hainan FTP and government-approved allowances received from the the Hainan FTP;“享受上述政策的所得包括來源于海南自由貿易港的綜合所得（包括工資薪金、勞務報酬、稿酬、特許權使用費四項所得）、經營所得以及經海南省認定的人才補貼性所得”；
This preferential tax rate is applicable for tax returns filed in Hainan;“在海南省辦理個人所得稅年度匯算清繳時享受上述優惠政策”；
This policy is effective from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2024. From 2025 on, it will be replaced by a three-tiered progressive individual income tax system, at 3%, 10%, and 15%, for more taxpayers.該項政策自2020年1月1日起執行至2024年12月31日。到2025年后，海南自由貿易港將按照3%、10%、15%三檔超額累進稅率征收個人所得稅，適用人群更廣、優惠力度更大。
Based on our preliminary evaluation, we are glad to inform you that you fall in the category of high-end or urgently-needed talent in the the Hainan FTP (i.e. you are accredited talent by the competent provincial talent administration, your annual income reaches RMB 300,000 before tax, or you are on the list of urgently-needed talent in the Hainan FTP). You are eligible to tax refund provided that:
經初步判斷，您符合海南自由貿易港高端人才或緊缺人才條件（我省人才部門認定的人才或年度稅前收入達到30萬元或符合海南自由貿易港行業緊缺人才需求目錄）。如果：
You have signed a one-year or longer-term employment agreement with an enterprise or entity registered and de facto operating in the Hainan FTP; 您與注冊在海南自由貿易港且實質性運營的企業或單位簽訂有1年以上的勞動合同或聘用協議;
You have paid social insurances tax for at least six consecutive months (incl. December 2020); and連續繳納社保滿6個月（包含12月當月）; 且
Your pre-tax annual income earned in the Hainan FTP exceeds RMB 425,000 (excl. Tax deductions like expenses for supporting parent(s) over 60-year-old); or全年在海南自由貿易港稅前綜合收入達到42.5萬元以上（不含贍養老人等專項附加扣除）或
The payable tax of your annual business income exceeds RMB 210,000. 經營所得應納稅所得額達到21萬元以上
Your tax refund will be returned to your bank account after you file your tax return in the next year.
您個人所得稅實際稅負超過15%的部分，將在明年您辦理匯算清繳后退還到您登記的銀行賬號。
You do not need to apply for the tax return. Your tax information will be shared with competent agencies, and you will be included on the list of taxpayers entitled to the favorable individual income tax rate. In case you are worried that you may not be included on the list, you may submit supporting materials either online via the one-stop provincial talent service platform (https://wssp.hainan.gov.cn/hnwt/) or at the Hainan Provincial Government Service Center (2nd Floor, No.3 Wuzhishan South Road, Meilan District, Haikou) during the following designated period of time for filing your tax return:
