Average Chinese citizens pay city maintenance taxes, urban and township land use taxes (so basically local taxes), individual income taxes, and consumption taxes on certain products (such as tobacco, alcohol, fireworks, cosmetics, and others).

Excluding the consumption taxes, there are no sales taxes, nor are there property taxes on houses held for non-business use (so you wouldn't need to pay the housing tax on your home, but you would on your office building).

There are additional taxes for participating in financial activities, working in the agricultural sector, operating one's own business, and owning industrial companies, among other things. Those are largely business related taxes however, and are not taxes every citizen would be expected to pay.

Furthermore there are a number of exceptions to various tax laws. For example, certain tax codes are specifically designed for foreign companies (both beneficial and protective), and nurseries and kindergartens are exempted from Business Taxes.
