Guangdong collected a total of 11.54 billion yuan (US$1.39 billion) in personal income taxes between January and July, 24.5 per cent higher than for the same period last year, reports Nanfang Daily.

While the province continues to lead the country in terms of personal income tax, it also registered the fastest growth among all tax items, according to the Guangdong Provincial Local Tax Bureau. More than 80 per cent of the personal income taxes collected came from Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other Pearl River Delta cities.

And about 25 per cent were paid by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents and expatriates.
