(life) tax on allowances

We are lucky to have our ticket allowance paid to us irrespective if we go home or not. 8,000.00 RMB which is not enough to cover most flights.

A couple of years back both the holiday allowance & ticket allowance became taxable & as this happens in one hit, it's usually about 430 RMB in tax.

However, talking to other teachers at other universities, they say this is never taxed.

What's your experience please?
