Stay over 183 days in mainland China in any 12-month window, and you become tax liable.
Aim for DTA eligibility to stay fully tax-free in mainland China. Without DTA, the IIT residency rules are far stricter — just 90 days of stay in mainland China can trigger income tax liability.

What Makes Stay Planner Different

No competitor offers these China/HK-specific capabilities

Three Day-Counting Methods

DTA eligibility, IIT residency, and taxable proportion — three different formulas, three different answers. No spreadsheet can handle this.

Six-Year Rule Tracker

Six consecutive years of residency triggers global income taxation. We track your count and alert you before the 30-day exit window closes.

PDF Immigration Import

Scan your Hong Kong/Mainland immigration stamps. We auto-parse entry/exit records and create stay pairs — no manual entry needed.

AI Stay Optimization

Tell us your preferences and we compute the optimal schedule to minimize tax liability. No competitor offers this.

Pending Crossing Resolution

Incomplete stays? We detect missing exit records, flag conflicts with your active plan, and help you resolve them.

Built for China/HK

Not a generic 'any country' tracker. Deep integration with Guangzhou tax bureau rules (2019) and the China-HK DTA.

Trusted by Professionals

I was manually counting days in Excel for three years. Stay Planner did in one import what took me hours every quarter.

Jason, Central

The six-year rule alert saved me. I was 2 months away from triggering global taxation without knowing it.

Sarah Chan, Futian

Finally an app that understands China tax rules. The three counting methods feature is something no other app has.
