YOUYI runs monthly payroll for foreign-invested companies in China. We calculate salaries, prepare the individual income tax withholding, handle social insurance and housing fund review, keep joiner and leaver records, and tie all of it back to your accounting and tax filings — for a first payroll run or an existing one.
Payroll only works when employee records, salary calculations, individual income tax, social insurance, housing fund, bank payments and bookkeeping all line up. This fits a newly registered company hiring its first employee, an existing payroll handover, or a company adding foreign employees.
We calculate your monthly payroll from the employment and compensation information you provide, and keep the working records behind each run.
We prepare the IIT withholding data for each employee and keep it consistent with the monthly filing records.
We check employee status and contribution data against how social insurance is administered in your city, and flag anything that needs a decision.
We handle the housing fund account details and contribution base, and confirm the position that applies to your employees locally.
We give you the document checklist and handle the payroll side when someone joins, changes status or leaves.
We reconcile payroll records against salary payments, tax data and accounting entries, then tell you where the numbers disagree.
Running the monthly payroll workflow is not the same as deciding an individual employee's tax or contribution treatment.
What YOUYI runs
Depends on the employee & local rules
YOUYI runs the monthly workflow. What applies to a specific employee depends on their status, local rules and authority review.
We confirm the final checklist once we know your scope. The more complete the information, the faster payroll, IIT, contributions and bookkeeping work together.
Payroll, individual income tax, social insurance and housing fund requirements depend on the city, employee status, employment contract, salary structure, tax residency, local contribution base, company registration location and authority review.
Payroll in China is closely connected with employment contracts, salary payments, individual income tax, social insurance, housing fund, bank transfers, accounting records and company tax filings. Running payroll apart from bookkeeping and tax filing is where the errors start.
We check payment records against the payroll calculation and employee data. View bank account service
We tie salary and deduction data to the IIT withholding and filing records, and post payroll costs into the company's accounting records. View accounting & tax service
Where payroll-related invoicing or reimbursement records intersect with VAT and fapiao operations, the two services stay aligned. View VAT & fapiao service
Where relevant, YOUYI can help prepare the employee and payroll data used for annual individual income tax reconciliation. Filing requirements and any resulting tax treatment depend on the individual's circumstances and the applicable tax rules. See Annual Compliance.
The mix varies by company and employee, so YOUYI confirms the scope after reviewing your details. These are the factors that move it.
Tell us your company status, employee count and payroll situation. YOUYI then confirms:
We review your company registration and employee status, and confirm the payroll document checklist.
We run the salary calculation and prepare the IIT withholding data for each employee.
We review social insurance and housing fund contributions, then check payroll against bank and accounting records.
We coordinate the monthly payroll and tax filing, and continue the cycle the following month.
Four points that shape how payroll support runs.
Shanghai practice
The team works from the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone in Pudong and runs the monthly cycle locally.
Our work centres on the payroll, IIT and contribution questions foreign-invested companies actually face.
We do not treat every employee the same way — status, residency and local rules are reviewed case by case.
Overseas owners and local teams can work from the same documents.
The checklist, the scope and the next steps are confirmed before the first payroll cycle starts.
These answers cover how the service works. YOUYI confirms your own position against your actual employment arrangements before the first payroll run.
Depending on the agreed scope, YOUYI payroll support may include monthly payroll calculation, IIT withholding coordination, social insurance and housing fund review, joiner and leaver records, and a payroll-to-accounting check. The exact scope is confirmed before the first run.
Payroll commonly connects with individual income tax withholding and filing coordination. The calculation and filing treatment depends on the employee's compensation, tax residency, deductions, applicable rules and the information accepted by the relevant authority.
The treatment of a foreign employee should be reviewed case by case. It may depend on the city, employee status, work and residence permits, employment arrangements, applicable bilateral arrangements, local practice and authority requirements. Companies should not assume an automatic exemption or a uniform result.
Housing fund requirements and contribution arrangements depend on local rules, employee status, the company's registration location, the applicable contribution base and authority review. The position should be confirmed for the specific company and employee.
Payroll should be coordinated with salary bank payments, individual income tax records, social insurance and housing fund information, accounting entries and company filings. Reviewing these records together helps identify inconsistencies that may require attention.
Common information includes employment contracts, employee identity documents, salary structure, attendance or payroll inputs, bank payment records, tax filing information, social insurance and housing fund account information, and onboarding or offboarding documents where applicable.
YOUYI reviews employee information, salary structure, contribution base, tax filing data and monthly payment records. Practical checks before filing help reduce avoidable corrections and late follow-up.
