China taxpayers declared over 160 billion yuan ($23.97B) in offshore trust income taxes, state media reported on Wednesday. The disclosures follow a strict October 22 deadline set by Beijing to crack down on capital outflows. The offshore trust tax policy carries a 20% levy on related profits, targeting global wealth held by citizens. The move impacts the broader currency market, where USD/CNH trades closely with domestic regulatory shifts.
