27日，个人所得税法修正案草案提交全国人大常委会二次审议。草案将赡养老人、子女教育、继续教育、大病医疗、住房贷款利息和住房租金的支出纳入专项附加扣除。
27日在北京召开的十三届全国人大常委会第五次会议对个人所得税法（individual income tax law）修正案草案进行二次审议。二审稿中未对起征点进行修改，维持了一审稿中个税起征点（threshold for personal income tax exemption）调至每年6万元，即每月5000元不变。此外，个税法二审稿也维持了45%的最高档税率（tax rate）。
作为一大亮点，个税法二审稿把赡养老人的支出（expenses for elderly care）纳入到专项附加扣除（special additional deduction）范围，加上此前的子女教育（children's education）支出、继续教育（continuing education）支出、大病医疗（treatment for serious diseases）支出、住房贷款利息和住房租金，共5项专项附加扣除。
个税法二审稿还规定，劳务报酬所得（remuneration for personal services）、稿酬所得（authors' remuneration）、特许权使用费（royalties）所得以收入减除20%的费用后的余额为收入额，其中，稿酬所得的收入额再减按70%计算。二审稿明确了公益慈善事业（philanthropy）捐赠扣除标准，规定个人将其所得对公益慈善事业进行捐赠，捐赠额未超过应纳税所得额（taxable income）30%的部分，可以从其应纳税所得额中扣除（deduction）。
